French-American actress Julie Delpy, who is up for Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay for "Before Midnight", feels Oscars' voting committee is rigged by old rich men.
The 44-year-old actor and screenwriter said there are old rich men in the Oscars' voting committee who take bribe for votes, reported Contactmusic.
"It's 90 percent white men over 70 who need money because they haven't done anything in a long time. You just need to give them two or three presents and they're in your pocket. It doesn't mean anything to me, so I don't really care if there are women in the selection process," she said.
The actress even said there is nothing good about Oscars and that 90 per cent of the Hollywood films are crap.
"We have the Golden Globes. If you could see it, you wouldn't believe that there's anything good about it. The same goes for the Oscars. Let's be honest: 90 per cent of movies made in Hollywood are crap," she said.
