BY FAR , THE MOST OUTSTANDING & TRUTHFUL POST I'LL EVER READ !!
THANK YOU HH.

Thanks.
That was very disappointing. But, perhaps not entirely surprising.
[RANT WARNING: What follows may not be very brief or very politically correct, LOL]
Because one has to consider two things: Why would such a magnificent documentary be entirely snubbed in the nomination process--and who is doing the voting.
QUESTION: Why wouldn't the courageous and brilliant investigative HBO documentary gain recognition and, at least, a nod in the nominations?
ANSWER: Because it's an HBO documentary--that already won the Emmys. One must remember that there is a severe class system in Hollywood where the "elites of the elites" are the MOVIE actors, not the TV folks. If anyone saw the Golden Globes, you might have noticed the edgy barbs that were thrown at the "noisy tv people" who sit in the rear of the auditorium, behind the movie royalty. They were cautioned to quiet down and behave if they ever wanted to sit up in the sacred front seats. It was a "joke" but not really. That's the mentality.
Add to that, movie elites often vote for films that identify who THEY are was much as the quality of the project itself. For example, a film that is arguably the most watched and beloved movie in American history, "It's A Wonderful Life", was also snubbed at the Academy Awards, losing in all categories to the more serious "The Best Years of Our Lives"--a motion picture that was far more appealing to Academy voters who viewed themselves (and hence their choice) with far more gravitas than the "light entertainment" of Frank Capra's masterpiece. In other words, the voters were voting for a film but also making a statement about their adulation for their own (perceived) messianic importance to mankind.
Thus, the thought process may well have been, why waste a perfectly good vote on a "TV MOVIE" (HBO) that the "TV PEOPLE" already gave awards to? Isn't the Oscar untold echelons above a mere mass entertainment "Emmy" winner? Don't movie elites set their own course in the world for all the rest to follow--or are they just mere "followers" of the subterranean castes like "tv people"? This is the kind of thinking wherein a vote becomes something else--a "statement".
QUESTION: Is there some other reason (aside from self-serving "status" driven motivations) that Hollywood elites would reject a film against Scientology?
ANSWER: Sure there is. Because the voters are dead-center in the middle of the world's most extreme liberal, politically correct ecosystem in the Western hemisphere--Hollywood! One must consider that merely stating that one is not a Democrat (gasp! a Republican!) is reason enough to be blacklisted in the television and film industry. In the inner-sanctum of Hollywood's politically correct gospel, there is no bad in the world--that cannot be fixed by the policing of bad thoughts and bad words. Examples:
--Islamic terrorism, for example, is not the problem. The problem is people (gasp! Conservatives!) who use the term "Islamic Terrorism".
--The problem is not the murderous rampaging black/hispanic gangs that have turned major cities into war zones. The problem is "racist" Republicans who hate minorities and deny them whatever it is that has turned them into sociopathic killers. (Never mind that the ultra-left wing of the Democratic part has ruled those cities for the past 40 years!)
--The problem is not the undocumented alien/felon in San Francisco that was deported and illegally returned to the US five times. The problem was not that he murdered an innocent young woman (see KATE'S LAW link). The problem is not that the "sanctuary city" of San Francisco refused to turn the felon over to federal authorities, but instead released him back onto the streets where he used his freedom to murder his innocent victim. The problem (according to the politically correct) is that evil racists (conservatives) were targeting helpless aliens and trying to take away their "rights". Thus it is far better to let a criminal out than to let law-abiding demon Republicans commit "genocide" against non-white races (e.g. put someone in jail for breaking the law).
I do understand that I have unceremoniously dragged some "sensitive" political matters into what is a discussion about how Hollywood academy members vote. But that is the entire point-- "Political Correctness", isn't it?
Let's frame this a different way. Would the nation's most powerful leaders of "Political Correctness" (e.g. Obama, Hillary Clinton, et al) support something that is harmful to their constituency? Sure they would, they do it every day. Would they allow the borders to be open and flood illegals in by the millions that took away jobs from a nation that already has 94 million unemployed people? Yes. Would they try to flood a million undocumented "refugees" from Syria into the US, many of whom have already been detected (too late) are radical Islamic sympathizers or ISIS fanatics? Yes. Would they do nothing about "Sanctuary Cities" that brazenly defy federal immigration laws and free felons back onto the streets of America? Yes.
Well, what about a "religion" like Scientology? Would they allow it to operate its fraudulent business tax free. Sure they would. Would they allow Scientology's human rights abuses to continue because its not politically correct or fashionable to target oppression unless it is a political foe, like Republicans? Sure they would, all day long. Why else does anyone think that Scientology's "ground zero" is Hollywood and the Hollywood celebrities whose shilling barely keeps the life-support cult alive? It's no coincidence that LA (Hollywood) is the axis upon which all Scientology turns, succeeds or fails.
What about accepting hundreds of millions of dollars from nations that openly denied women the most basic civil rights? Sure, Hollywood would vote in favor of that all day long. That's exactly what Hillary Clinton did in amassing billions of dollars in the Clinton "foundation"--accept massive "donations" from terror-supporting countries and nations that had despicable histories (past & present) of abusing women. But, would the Hollywood supporters of Hillary Clinton ever once be concerned about their candidate's hypocrisy in accepting hundreds of millions from such despicable abusers--while giving speeches about the sanctity of "Women's Rights"? No, not a voice was raised. In fact it is estimated that more than 90% of Hollywood's entertainment work force votes in lockstep--strictly Democrat.
So, now these same ultra-liberals are asked to vote for the "BEST DOCUMENTARY".
Would they vote for a film that blows the whistle on radical islamic terror? No.
Would they vote for a film that blows the whistle on how "open border compassion" actually overloads the country's welfare budget while taking away even more jobs from ethnic minorities in the US legally? No.
Would they vote for a film that blows the whistle on pedophile Catholic priests? Sure, because Hollywood liberals hate "white Christian" values.
Would they vote for a film that blows the whistle on the disgraceful scandal of a government funded program ("Planned Parenthood") illegally harvesting and selling baby body parts for profit? No. Because Hollywood hates any politics that might withhold free abortions and other welfare services to "minorities". Even though the minority communities are devastated by (the violent crimes caused by) children born out of wedlock with neither the parenting nor the finances to support raising them into civilized and responsible members of the society.
Would they vote for a film that came out against Scientology? No. Hey we are talking about people who are 100% behind Obama giving nuclear weapons and 100 billion dollars to Iran--the world's leading state sponsor of terror.
Well, that's my rant du jour. I am not happy that the liberal Hollywood elites chose to entirely ignore "GOING CLEAR" in the Oscar race. It was an extraordinary opportunity to tell the world about Scientology's hidden sociopathic and terroristic schemes--but wasted for no other reason than it is not "politically correct" to say bad things about terrorist religious regimes such as Iran, Isis and Scientology.
