See tähendab ainult seda, et USA publik on loll ja ei vaata häid filme, mitte et akadeemia valib tundmatud filmid parimaks. But seriously, keda kotivad need poliitilised filmid majandussurutise ajal, kui aasta aega on käinud mingi president race. Kolmekümnendate majanduskriisi ajal tehti muusikale ja gängsterite filme.

2009 Writers Guild Awardside põhjal.
