I hear about it all the time yet I still haven't seen anyone who supports that theory present any evidence that that is the acceptable widespread case. I remember there was one case in the 90s when the film studio Miramax tried to bribe the Academy Awards to nominate a certain film or actor (at this moment in time, I cannot remember what the film or award was) from one of their own movies, and they were found out very quickly and publicly shamed as a result. Harvey Weinstein was shown in a VERY bad light, to say the least, something he's never quite recovered from. Given the speed with which it was discovered and the backlash the company received as a result, I just can't see big businesses doing that kind of thing too frequently. It just seems too haphazard.
