“Find your representatives in Congress and talk with them, instantly.” What a brilliant idea. And you can’t beat the price.
There are some interesting numbers in here, but the research has one fatal flaw: These days, cell phones ARE internet devices though I suspect they aren’t counted as such here. Still, the numbers are interesting.

It’s not about which movies or actors should win. It’s about who or what “The Academy” thinks should win (eye-roll).
