Just a reminder that box office hits Gladiator, Forrest Gump, Silence of the Lambs, Return of the King, Titanic, Rocky, and Braveheart all won #Oscars top honor without a Best Popular Film category
Inception, Gravity, District 9, Star Wars, Jaws, Raiders, Mad Max: Fury Road were all Best Picture nominees

None of them won

No, they didn't. And that's life. The Oscars aren't meant to be about rewarding filmgoers' tastes. They're about rewarding the best of the past year

But that is my point regardless. 100 years of oscars you named me 7 movies. None of which were alien, aliens, terminator 2, blade runner, day the original earth stood still, etc.

And so what, though? The Oscars aren't meant to reward audiences' tastes. They're meant to reward this select group's picks for the best films and artists of the year.
