Don't you think the "newer, younger" Academy members they recently enlisted had something to do with this?

Agreed. It's about as backhanded as it gets.

its there just to make sure another genre film like Shape of Water doesn't win best picture. They were sweating when Fury Road was nominated.

Do you think the core motivator is just boosted viewership, or is it as insidious as pushing Fury Roads and Black Panthers and Ups out of the Best Picture noms?

It’s literally an award that says “You film wasn’t good, but it sure was popular.” It’s bewildering to say the least.

the motivation maybe different but this situation looks a lot like 2001 when they created Best Animated Picture.

THANK YOU. Do you think there's any chance the Oscars will learn anything from this, or are do you think their self-importance will drive them further into irrelevancy?

I also think it's a dig against the films they say are "Best Picture." They created a category that excludes popular films that are also Best Picture worthy, or betrayed their own intent. If something is Popular, it cannot be Good; if something is Good, it cannot be Popular

This is a dangerous move that will inspire directors to create uninspired, cheap crowd pandering cash grabs just for oscar gold. Not a fan in the slightest.

But those won't be nominated. I think this is for really well made movies like The Dark Knight, Black Panther, Star Wars, etc. At the very least it'll enforce better craftsmanship from these movies, I think! Let's hope!
