Lets just hope the Academy doesn't account for sales or else Selma is screwed. Taken 3 beat Selma........

I repeat... Taken 3 beat Selma.

1st one was great, 2nd one was okay, not touching the third one. 

The general population goes to the movies for different reasons than critics. It is fairly difficult to make a movie that is both critically acclaimed and financially successful with happy customers. 

Exactly, which brings to me to my first point. Its not easy to explain why the sales didnt match the critical reception. :)
