Comments on: Oscars To Introduce Outstanding Popular Film Category And Shorter Telecast https://staging2.theplaylist.net/oscars-popular-film-run-time-20180808/ Wed, 08 Aug 2018 21:19:00 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.2 By: Matt Miller https://staging2.theplaylist.net/oscars-popular-film-run-time-20180808/#comment-161377 Wed, 08 Aug 2018 21:19:00 +0000 https://theplaylist.net/?p=388120#comment-161377 Come on, I galdly sit for 4+ plus hours to watch the Oscars, is once a year after all. And the fact that they are awarding stuff during comercial breaks is awful.
About the most popular category, well, was that necessary? What qualifies as best popular and best picture now, will they be mutually exclusive?

I don’t think I follow what you’re saying. Can you explain?

I got Transformers 26 in 2055 as the sure fire best picture front runner.

Not really, you have categories (and more of them) in other competitions. I don’t think this is such a stretch.

As the culture goes, so goes Oscar. Embarrassing.
