You may want to just delete the post. I'll give you an A for effort but effort doesn't have an A in it. Not everything needs a visual representation. If this has a comparison maybe it would be cool. It's just an awkward graphic.

Warner Bros. and New Line are both subsidiaries of Warner Bros. Discovery, which is owned by Time Warner. So they are two different production companies albeit under the same umbrella.

Universal is owned by NBC.

Columbia is owned by Sony.

Disney is Disney. But it now owns Marvel Studios an 20th Century (and others like Lucas).

Paramount is CBS/Viacom (they were one then they split then they remerged under CBS).

Both Legendary and Ratpac are their own entities.

Part of the complication is that the chart has to count revenue when the companies were split, and sort of arbitrarily combines or separates pre- and post-acquisition numbers.

I would instead love to see a chart of the umbrella companies: Time Warner, Sony, CBS/Viacom, NBC, and Disney. And I'd love to see their movie/production wings compared to the other parts of their businesses.

Wb also owns new line. And legendary has distributed its movies through almost all of the bigger names.

I guess the difference is while Disney and wb own some of the others you don’t see the Disney logo for a marvel movie or for avatar so they can be seen as separate production companies but we know they are owned by one.

But the people voting are forced to listen to the song because they have to evaluate it, the public isn’t. People tend to listen to the artists they know and love on repeat. Bonnie Raitt, while a legend, is mainly going to be popular with an older crowd, many of whom probably do not use Spotify or if they do they listen to playlists that they’re children or grandchildren helped them put together, so they may not have even been aware that she put out a new song. And I mean, there’s plenty of beautifully written songs out there that fly under the public’s radar everyday. It just so happens that this time, one of them managed to win a major award despite that.
