Movie production company Participant Studios:http://www.participantproductions.com/
"Participant believes in the power of media to create great social change."
Producers of Syriana, Murderball, North Country, Good Night and Good Luck, An Inconvenient Truth, Fast Food Nation, Luna.
Eleven academy award nominations this year.
Are the films that good (or, at least, better than competing films,) or is the Academy rewarding films that promote a certain point of view?
FWIW I really don't care one way or another, I just think it's odd that one recently formed, very politically motivated production company should rake in so many award nominations.
