Do the Oscars Matter? Fandango Says Yes

Fandango's Harry Medved just sent over this groovy poll:

* According to a Fandango/Comcast.net poll of more than 2,500 moviegoers today (as of 3 pm PT today), 41% said that Oscar’s “biggest snub” today was the omission of The Dark Knight in the Best Picture category.

 * According to a separate Fandango poll, 81% of moviegoers say that the Academy is out of touch with the tastes of mainstream moviegoers.

 * There was a considerable increase in ticket sales for all five of the Best Picture nominees today. Below you’ll find a comparison of  yesterday’s pre-Oscar nominations ticket sales (Wednesday, 6 am – 2 pm PT) to today’s post-Oscar nominations ticket sales (Thursday, 6 am – 2 pm PT) on Fandango:
