The Oscars Awards Committee has introduced 'popular films' as a category in the awards show. Is it a good idea for the Academy to start giving out the prestigious statuette to 'popular films' as well?
  • Yes. It is high time the Oscars acknowledged popular films such as superhero flicks for the award
  • No. The prestigious award should not lose its significance by diluting it with more categories
  • Maybe. The Oscars can include 'popular films' in the 'best picture' category itself
