Dirty Secrets Hollywood doesn’t want you to know – Every business has secrets they don’t want their loving and faithful customers to know. After all, would customers love them so much if they knew that they allegedly cheated their employees out of healthcare (like Starbucks), intentionally damaged merchandise to create the appearance of selling more (like Barnes and Noble), or siphoned charitable funds for bonuses (like the Salvation Army)?

Every company and every industry has plenty of dirty secrets they don’t want you to know about, including the entertainment industry. Hollywood seems to be a magnet for artists, businessmen, confidence men, politicians, and crooks that are prepared to cut shady and suspicious deals with high stakes. Hollywood’s sketchy dealings are no new developments, either; they’re as old as the industry is.
It’s easy to turn a blind eye to all the shady things that go on behind the scenes of our favorite shows and celebrities’ lives; they don’t want us to know, so it’s easy to pretend not to know. Plus, some of these secrets really don’t matter. Who really cares if someone was or was not gay, or if someone’s award was well-deserved or not? However, perhaps we ought not to turn a blind eye to some of these other secrets Hollywood tries to keep quiet.
It’s time to check out the skeletons in the closet and to shed light on some of Hollywood’s shadier corners! Here they are: fifteen dirty secrets that Hollywood doesn’t want you to know.
15. Awards Aren’t Given Entirely Based on Merit
At smaller award shows, like the MTV Video Music Awards or the Teen Choice Awards, winning celebrities are clearly told that they will win their category before the event. Celebrity photographers claim that during the show, celebrities will hang out backstage and talk to friends until their category is announced; then they’ll sit in the audience and pretend to be surprised. The Oscars and Golden Globes are different, but just barely. A Golden Globe can be won with as few as nineteen votes because of the small size of the voting body. Furthermore, both the Golden Globes and Oscars have been accused of accepting bribes and rigging their votes. Many times, actors have been nominated simply because of their name (no one really thinks Jim Carrey ought to have been nominated for a Golden Globe for his performance in How the Grinch Stole Christmas) or because of their popularity at the time (the academy knew we’d all riot if Leonardo DiCaprio didn’t win an Oscar this year).
