How come Oscar award nominee movies?!
Question: don't make that much movie at the box office
and they don't advertise the movie much too
Answers: don't make that much movie at the box office

Because, they are voted in by the Academy of Motion Pictures, which votes for great films that have superb acting, production and direction. Blockbuster movie does not equal great film, it just means that people are willing to pay to see in the theater.
They don't win because they are popular movies ... they are selected by the academy and sometimes those folks are WAY out of touch with life.
Because the Academy's members are older, more seasoned members of the industry who don't have similar taste in movies to the majority of current movie goers (average age, probably 16).
Quality does not equal popularity, but when they do coincide, it's a wonderful thing.
Look at the movies that are advertised heavily by major companies-they usually suck and just want money. Movies that are nominated for Oscars are different because they are genuinely good movies with good actors and sometimes have controversial storylines so do not appeal to the gneral public.
because money doesnt matter, only the value of the cinema matters
Bizarro, I think you're overstating the case. Other answerers here have pointed out that quality (as celebrated by the Oscars, at least most of the time) and popularity are not the same thing, but they do coincide more often than you might think. Aside from huge blockbusters that were also Best Picture winners (like "Titanic" or "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King"), there are also some hit movies, for example, among this year's nominees ("No Country for Old Men," "Juno"). As for advertising, many of the Oscar-hopeful films are heavily advertised when they first come out, but that may be months before Oscar season, by which time they may not still be in theaters. Those movies that are still playing will get a huge ad boost if they win; otherwise, distributors will save the ad money for the DVD release, when they can tout them as Oscar-nominated films. Ultimately, of course, home video is where the Oscar hopefuls will make most of their money anyway, so it makes sense for the resources to be directed that way.
