Hollywood, CA - It is no secret that in the movie business, despite its moneymaking abilities, the porn industry doesn’t receive the same amount of respect as its mainstream, arguably much better counterparts.

 There is one man, however, that is attempting to change all that. According to porno movie producer Oscar Mayer, the Hollywood blockbusters that receive all of the accolades and Oscar nominations need to give some love to the movies that “keep their names on the minds of the public.”

Mayer believes that it is hypocritical for studio executives to continually shun the porn industry when, as he says, “We’re the ones that get their film titles poppin’.” Mayer claims that since so many people watch porno movies in the United States, and since so many of those movies rip-off mainstream movie titles and themes, his industry is a big part of what keeps Hollywood movies in the popular consciousness of the country and hence, deserves some share in their awards’ glory.

Oscar’s production company Champagne Midnight Pictures has been in business since 1983 and has, according to Mayer, “made billions of dollars for Hollywood studios.”

This past year alone, CMP movies read like a who’s who of the movies nominated for Academy Awards-- a fact that Mayer says proves his point and entitles him to some piece of the Oscar pie.

Movies like “Bareback Mountain” (“Brokeback Mountain”), “Munch” (“Munich”), “King Dong” (King Kong), “Charlie’s Chocolate Factory” (“Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”) and “Good Night, and Good Luck” (“Good Night, and Good Luck”) were all CMP hits in 2005 and all earned some sort of Academy Award nomination.

Despite this glaring evidence, Hollywood studio execs dismiss Mayer’s assertion that they owe him any debt of gratitude and suggest that it is he and not they that should be thanking the other.

One studio head had this to say about Mayer’s plight, “What?! This is a joke, right? If it wasn’t for our movies, all porno flicks would be called ‘Pizza Delivery Guy Humps Woman’ or, if they were feeling exceptionally creative, ‘Special Delivery,’ but it’d still be the same shit. Give me a break.”
