Again, I know the academy doesn't do it for the public but they almost always seemed concerned afterwords when they are crushed in the tv ratings.

Like I said, this has to be the most mainstream year ever.

On Monday Life of Pi is expected to pass $100 million, which makes it the fifth 2012 Best Picture nominee to reach that level. Theoretically, Zero Dark Thirty and Silver Linings Playbook could both make it there as well, meaning there will be a record seven Best Picture nominees with over $100 million at the domestic box office this year.
