Backlash over new ‘popular film’ Oscar category

1. How about Oscar recognition for stunt actors and voice actors?

2. Good! Popular or box office films tend to be mediocre and lack of artistic creativity. They are not on par with great films that would stand the test of time.

3. Fuck the Oscar's y'all don't want Kevin Hart over a standup joke in 2010

4. No offense but I do watch Non-Popular movies like birdman-spothligth-argo and more. Black Panther was shit boring and lazy bad acting same with Avengers, Deadpool it has nothing to do with race sorry but the Oscars are about ART not popularity

5. To many people distracted by the mention of Black Panther. Whether black panthers best picture material or not is besides the point. The point still stand that this change is the death of any chance of an genre movie winning best picture.

6. We should get "Best StuntWork" and "Best Trailer"

7. Best Picture is already a collection of mostly popular films. Academy more and more irrelevant as time goes on.

8. Why don’t we just get it over with & hand over the keys the the Country to the blacks We give them everything else with out a fight every white TV late nite host kisses black ass every nite & demonizes whites at every turn

9. Why can't there be a movie about black people that isn't about them being black? Imagine a romcom where the only thing different from the other romcoms is skin colors and nothing else.

10. Absolutely disrespectful to everyone. I would rather win a razzie than best popular film. At least the razzie is criticism and a joke but this is a legit award, not becuz they were qualified to be good enough for any other award but becuz it made bank.

11. I just feel its going to be another award thats always won by disney no matter what, like best animated movie with pixar.

12. If the oscars want more viewers here’s how to do it. 1. Never have jimmy Kimmel come back again, no one watches when he’s on 2. Tell your hosts not to allow things to get political. Those accepting awards will always be ungrateful and use their time to talk about politics rather than thank people, but their host doesn’t need to make everything political too. People used to watch it because it was funny, now they turn it off after ten minutes when the host goes on anti trump and anti government rants.

13. people still go around and say wakanda forever?? CRINGE

14. Blackpanther was good… not great. …the effects where NOT good, not even ok.

15. The white gaze is not necessary in determining whats "good"… Moving right along

16. Basically if black panther doesnt get nominated well you're racist

17. Chrith

18. What about infinity war, the most popular film of the year…

19. I don’t know if that’s stupid or not but i would rather creat a category for best stunt performance because stunt actors don’t get enough credit.

20. Why Black Panther and not Infinity War? 😐

21. Wouldnt infinity war still beat out Black panther anyway?

22. black panther better than all those boring ass drama movies like. La la land

23. All these shows' ratings are going down because they keep getting political.

24. What? Black Panther?
    It's gonna be Infinity War

25. What the hell, now a days everyone's a winner so give them all an Oscar, like, for showing up would be good.

26. It’s not like these “Awards” have been going towards art in the first place.

27. These people are weird…

28. Oscar is a hypocrite award granded by a bunch of ass kissing hypocrites. Never found any oscar award winning film interesting.

29. Aka box office revenue

30. Why are SJW hating conservatives upset? Of course Hollywood is going to be SJW when most people are not conservatives. Most Republicans are just old white people. They'll die off soon. And let's be honest most oscar movies are boring or didn't get much money. Marvel movies are just better.

31. Wtf Popular does not mean good and popular films get enough recognition it’s about indie films that get almost no recognition. This makes no sense. Black Panther was a below average MCU film with terrible pacing and a weak plot. It was an alright film

32. Who tf cares. No one watches the Oscars.

33. Might as well just implement a best sequel category

34. Maybe people aren't watching the Oscars as much because people are realising that it is all materialistic garbage that doesn't even matter

35. black panther deserves it!!

36. Back then, popular films were nominated for Best Picture, and a some have even won, (like On the Waterfront and The Sound of Music, two of my personal favorites), not because they were so popular, but because they were so damn good, because filmmakers actually cared. If the Academy is serious with their Most Popular category, then all of the conveyor belt sequel and reboot crap that the industry mainly produces these days will be eligible. I don't want to be the one who complains about everything, but this is ridiculous. #BoycottTheOscars2019

37. This just proves everything is bout money, they are willing to change the legacy of oscars just to get more views.
    This could have been donee by better advertisement instead of just bringing a new category.
    This is just pure hypocrisy as they give awards for best picture and acting and now giving equivalent shot to Blockbuster movies which don't get even close to these Oscar winning movies to compete on same level.
