Give him one from me

How he didn't get one for What's Eating Gilbert Grape baffles me.

They don't give him one because people who wanted him to win will watch it. If he finally gets the damn thing the amount of people who watch it will plummet for next year. But if he doesn't win, there's still hope for next year and people will watch it again. It's all about the amount of people who watch it.

B-but that will break the internet!!!

Then you'll hear everyone say "YES!!! He won the oscar." For seven months
