Oscars About to Add A New Major Category

[Sir Charles Barkley]

I think they should have a best comedy award. The best popular film usually cleans up in the special effects and behind the scenes awards so it's not like they don't get praised.

this is actually a great idea!

i am actually all for splitting up the best picture award into two cateogories! best drama and best comedy!

Comedies don't get nominated enough for that do they?

Comedies don't get nominated enough for that do they?

Some dramedies or "black comedies" make it in but they're always the super serious ones. I've never seen a feel-good comedy get nominated since I started paying attention to the Oscars.

fukk that.

 

[Saint1]

I'm cool with it. English Patient won movie of the year in 96.

It wasnt the defining movie of that year by a long shot

 

[Lannister]

They did this so they could keep from nominating Black Panther for Best Picture.

 

[Pinyapplesuckas]

When we getting the best transgender performer?

i clicked the thread expecting some sort of lgbtq award

I was waiting for this.

 

[THE MACHINE]

Basically "what movie did the best at the box office" award

 

[Lefty Gunz]

Might as well add best fight scene and best kiss next

 

[Silver Surfer]

Oscars about to be swole now...you gonna have the return of Tom Cruise...

This is a side effect of "Get Out" getting beat by Shape of water

No, this is the result of the ratings dropping every year as the Oscars become more and more irrelevant in a time where social media dictates a movie's success.

 

[Kingshango]

Basically the Marvel/John Wick award.

 

[FlyRy]

Is the subtext of this award that Best Picture noms are not popular?

The last ten winners have averaged $83.5 million, with only four surpassing $100 million

I think they should have a best comedy award. The best popular film usually cleans up in the special effects and behind the scenes awards so it's not like they don't get praised.

Keep that bullshyt for the golden globes.

This dumb and kinda disrespectful to the makers of the "Popular movies"
