Some movies are not rated fairly.  Perhaps some big studios put up big money to get a movie rated PG-13 when it should have been rated "R."  I remember there was plenty of controversy when "The King's Speech" was slapped with a "R" rating because a certain cuss word was uttered more than once.

There are quite a few excellent movies, which did not seem not to have been rated fairly, and many did not need to have violent or nude scenes to be "left aside" or "forgotten". But, with or without fishy strategies, it is difficult to foresee how people or experts will rate the quality of movies, their plots, stars, views, sound, etc., as trends, fashion, business, propaganda and politics can have a significant influence, and, last but not least, tastes, colours, and the moods can differ much from one person to the other and from one day to the other. But cheating and unfair methods are as old as humanity.

The public, judges, voters, etc., must often face difficult choices:
