‘Bestselling book’ is a title that can easily be bought. All you have to do is have a shell company (or a friendly billionaire) buy 10,000 copies of your own book, and now it’s a ‘bestseller’.
I don’t know about the Oscar nomination, but I suspect it’s a similar deal. Put enough money in the right pockets, and I bet you can buy an Oscar nomination.
Oscars can be manipulated but also they are broken up into categories and don’t necessarily reflect popularity. For example you can have a complete shitter of a movie but still get say best music, best set, or best editing. A good example of something like this is that boring ass Mel Gibson mailman movie, which IMO actually has pretty decent costumes and set design hell the story isn’t even that bad it’s just something went wrong and it came out boring, don’t know if it got any awards just using a mid movie as an example.
People said the same about Trump. Both timss.
Naw man, Trump opened up with a racist and controversial speech. He had an immediate following and cult formation very early on.
Vance has been around for a while. No one likes him and every attempt he makes backfires spectacularly.
Apart from the bestselling book and the osxar-nominated film?
There are so many crap films that have won at the Oscars, Crash (2004) for example.
In politics, material success is supplicant to perceived success.

That’s why Elon fixed the election for him.
