There is one source of money behind this huge Oscar push and it isn't the actress mother of the actress. It is also not the permanent A+ lister who used to sleep with the mother and talked about how he wanted to sleep with both the mom and the actress, presumably separately. It is instead, the actor boyfriend of the actress who has dropped low six figures at this point and all that money is generating a buzz and a bunch of articles and stories that would never get published or air time. Knowing who is financing the buzz also makes it much more likely for there to be more of a PR push as media outlets attempt to curry favor with the actor and show they can kiss butt the best.
