What does Hollywood think of the candidates?

A quick summary from Vanity Fair
https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2019/04/will-hollywood-dump-kamala-for-mayor-pete

Access Hollywood

“When Trump got elected, I was flattened for a number of weeks, and a number of people around me felt the same way,” Billy Ray, the screenwriter behind The Hunger Games and Captain Phillips, said. (snip) I felt we had just put someone who was evil in charge.”

Then the midterms happened. Hollywood, no surprise, helped Democrats flip the House. That left them upbeat. Cautiously optimistic.

Now it’s late April, and we’re winding through Act I of the Democratic primary—the invisible primary, the race to secure money, online infrastructure, star staff—and in Hollywood, it’s basically a two-person race: Kamala Harris versus Mayor Pete Buttigieg. Pretty much everyone else in the Democratic field is background noise. Beto? No substance. Biden? Lots of residual affection, but that shoulders thing—not a good look. Cory? Love him, love him, but that announcement video—W.T.F.? Warren? Sloppy rollout, kind of Bernie-ish. Bernie? Fuck Bernie.

Who said Hollywood was superficial?
