Oscar and Hollywood in splitsville!
The Academy has turned its back on the multiplex moneymakers and wrapped smaller indie films in its warm, glittery embrace. But Hollywood isn't crying (yet).
By Andrew O'Hehir [2008-02-18]

  • didn't "Juno" take in over $100 million in theaters...

    ...largely by word-of-mouth? And isn't it doing quite well in the "backwards" South and Midwest, despite the fact that you had to hunt for a theater that shows it? (Seriously. I live in New Orleans, which is not exactly the boondocks OR the place where a film like "Juno" wouldn't play well. As far as I know, it was shown on ONE SCREEN in all the theaters in the metro area.)

    Didn't the same thing happen with "Little Miss Sunshine"?
