When Entertainment Becomes Politics

Miramax, Hollywood studio infamous for its aggressive and often very political campaigning for "Oscars", got the taste of its own medicine in the ad by rival Dreamworks SKG. The ad which implies that Renee Zellweger would deprive Shohreh Aghdashoo of her well-deserved "Oscar" is clear example of negative campaigning. Despite Academy attempts to clean studios' acts during "Oscar" seasons, the race for prestigious statues is becoming similar to the dirtiest forms of American politics.
