The Oscars used to acknowledge big block busters like Titanic and even Avatar was nominated for best picture. Things went south when The Dark Knight wasn't even nominated, ever since then there have been almost nothing but Oscar bait movies nominated.

People be mad that Return Of The King won best picture.

An attack on the Nerds.

Yeah, I don't get it. If it's to reward the most commercially-successful blockbuster, then they don't even need nominees - just give the award to the film that had the biggest box office that year.

Do people actually watch this crap? I don't see the point in watching a bunch of celebrities stroking each others ego.

People watch Big Brother, which is a bunch of non-celebrities stroking each others ego.

Popular film category has been shelved...for now. Sounds like they just didn't want to introduce it this year since it wasn't announced until partway through the year.
