Hollywood is driven by ego and greed. Awards stroke their egos, money stokes their greed.
Dallas Buyer's Club is primarily aimed at fellow homos who vote on the Golden Globes and Oscars, but they toss in propaganda talking points (We're all at risk for AIDS! Not just the perverts, really, you should be worried!) for the normals who might see it on cable in a few years.
On the boxoffice page what stands out is how disproportionate the press, awards and critical acclaim of the real fag films (Interview with the Vampire may be about homos metaphorically, but the normal audience sees it as a horror movie) is to their profitability.
Too bad Boxofficemojo doesn't have holocaust as a genre. I'd like to see that list.
They have a World War 2 list with a few hoax films
