Hollywood just doesn’t care what Americans want. That is one reason why the awards they give each other are irrelevant.

If Hollywood wants to make movies that people want to see, they should ask Tyler Perry for advice.

Not exactly... she won in 1998.

And, she's been nominated like 7 or 8 times since then.
