Here are just a few comments from the movieSperts:
"For blockbusters already have a reward. It is called "Money". "
"Forrest Gump and Titanic" were blockbusters and received Oscar. No need to turn "Oscar" in MTV Awards, better give us 10 nominees in the "Best Movie" category. "
"Well, everything left for several years - and" Oscar "will be handing over the" coolest explosion "."
"The Best Blockbuster is a second-rate nomination, moreover, depreciating the" best film "."
"Let the Blockbuster receive a nomination for the" best film "and lose, which will receive a meaningless comforting prize in the form of Oscar for the" best blockbuster "."
Found, however, those who protect the film academy initiative - or rather, sees a specific logic in it:
"Oscar" needs to attract more spectators, especially younger, and every year, people want to see in the list of nominees who did not nominated blockbusters, but they have not been nominated in recent years at all. Now the film academy introduces a separate category for these purposes - and is it starting to criticize? This is strange".
What will happen from all this - we will find out in January 2019, when the Film Academy declares nominees to Oscar -2019. However, in one one can be sure now: "Black Panther" will definitely lead the list of nominees in the category "Best Blockbuster" and, most likely, will receive Oscar. The ceremony itself, we will recall, will be held February 24, 2019.
