Oscars About to Add A New Major Category

[ig88]

There is a difference in styles so im not mad. Popular summer flicks are never gonna be artsy flicks.. so why are those type of popcorn flicks swept aside when they essentiall RUN the business.

Move shoulda been made 30 years ago.

Just need to re-title the award.

lol @ people thinking that Black Panther had a shot at a Best Picture nomination before this move.

The problem with this move isn't even that the Academy doesn't acknowledge blockbusters, but the fact that they still act blind to the corrupt campaigning, politicking and vote-buying that has turned people away.

All the prognosticators think it does. and they always have.

I'm all for axing the shorts awards and shyt like that during the show.

I did like the sound ones though.

Bad idea. The idea of the Oscar is to expose movies to people who normally wouldn't watch high or middle brow movies. Its seems like they are catering to the lowest denominator

 

[semicko82]

Could be the highest grossing or just a movie that took over culturally.

English Patient may have been good but in history

Scream
Space Jam
Jerry Macguire
A Time to Kill
Primal Fear
Sling Blade
Fargo

All much more memorable and meaningful

Space Jam really breh

There’s a way to do both. This isn’t it

Fast 9 and 10 about to win back to back oscars

Yes. Tell me the English Patient had had more impact on culture than Space Jam.

Ignore your small-minded thought that it's a kid's movie and it's not a "real film." That movie was much more popular than the "film" that won best picture of the year.

They done turned it to the VMAs, some MTV shyt

Homie space jam had an impact on a select group of people, one generation, and is now loved ironically for the most part. Unless you truly love it then my bad. Space Jam is more notable for the sneakers than the actual movie. To your point, plenty of big movies become big cultural landmarks but it doesn't mean they're award worthy flicks. At least not best picture. Independence Day had a huge cultural impact but I'll be damned if I were to believe its a best picture nominee

Yeah my point is it is worthy of the "most popular movie" category which this whole thread is about.

 

[trick]

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

Yep I expect some a biopic about some white people that nobody will remember or rewatch in a few years to win best picture or best actor

And that shyt wouldn't be there either. It's outstanding achievement in popular movie, so it still has to be worth its salt critically and commercially

Its not a good movie compared to the rest you named. To be honest The English Patient is a waaay better movie. You might got me on impact though
