Man, they REALLY did not want to have to nominate Black Panther for their precious Best Picture. As well they shouldn't. It's up there with Avatar and Sling Blade as one of most boring, overrated movies I've ever seen. So, of course it should be denied any awards. đ I still don't understand why they extended the Best Picture category to ten nominees, but yet, they don't always nominate ten movies. Use all the god damn slots.

I was reading a post about how the idea that the Oscars don't acknowledge "popular" movies is actually a more recent development. Like, Rain Man won Best Picture and was the highest grossing film of the year. Titanic and Lord of The Rings are also examples of that. it's because the academy is now filled with exceedingly old men and some women. That aren't going to watch things that are popular now because they either don't get it or feel they are above it. Hell there are talks of them not even watching the movies they vote for.

That's how Brave won Best Animated Picture, despite Wreck It Ralph and other movies that year being far superior and better to it.

Can't wait to see Meryl Streep applauding when Shazam wins Best Popular Picture.

I wish the Academy would start recognizing voice acting in feature films. Maybe in a few years for that category?

Just get rid of the host and their dumb jokes. Just have presenters and have a play clock in the corner. Go over your time and a trap door opens up and gets you off the stage. Also, it's a ten drink minimum if you want to attend. That should liven things up a bit.

So whatâs the criteria for this, ticket sales, word of mouth, which made the most cash or merchandise? I fear this will be a double edged sword, I mean could this potentially mean slasher films or Seltzer movie âparodiesâ have a chance at that Oscar?

Sounds like the Disney Award. Tazz once made a title for himself too. Or the Rock. Who doesn't want to give the Rock an Oscar?

They should hand out the following awards... Best Picture Best Director Best Acting Performance Best Supporting Acting Performance Best Animation Best Cinematography Best Production Design (includes makeup, hairstyling and costuming) Best Documentary Best Editing Best Foreign Language Film Best Music Best Sound Best Visual Effects Best Adapted Screenplay Best Original Screenplay Ditch all the dopey comedy bits and montages (with the exception of the memorium segment, and this will lead to a trimmed down and more watchable show. For me, best picture == best director If you're the best director, why haven't you made the best picture?

For me, best picture == best director If you're the best director, why haven't you made the best picture? Agreed. Scrub Best Director from my list. The director can pick up the award for Best Picture instead of the half dozen producers who usually do. I'd also save time by asking winners to not make boring lists of people to thank, They can thank their wives, husbands, children, parents, accountants, lawyers, crime scene fixers, agents, and drug dealers, etc....in person later.

I'd say you're already looking at Black Panther, Infinity War and Mission: Impossible, with an outside shot at Deadpool 2 and one other non-Bumblebee movie. The shame is that Paddington 2 didn't make enough at the domestic box office to really be called "popular" and it isn't animated, so the best reviewed film OF ALL TIME will receive zero Oscar noms. Counterargument; Teen Titans GO! To the Movies (or GO! The Movie, whatever you call it) was also well received by critics, but it's still Teen Titans GO!. Of course it was well received by critics, it was entertaining and funny.

Language warning. I kinda agree with what this guy says, it might get mishandled, it could dilute the Best Picture category and cause confusion, but most of all I like the one comment from this guy's video:

They should add a Best Whimiscal Remark catagory too,
Marvel would win every year.
