It is not known yet, whether changes will come into effect at the next Oscar ceremony, which will be held in February 2019.
Oscar Awards will introduce a new nomination for extraordinary achievements in the category of popular films. This is reported by the Air Force.
This is one of three changes approved on August 7 by the Board of Directors of the American Film Academy.
Thus, films that are popular with viewers, but not very popular with critics, will have a better chance of getting an Oscar. Among the winners will now appear, for example, movies about superheroes.
It is not known yet, whether these changes will come into force already at the next Oscar ceremony, which will be held in February 2019.
The Academy noted that criteria for the new category and other key details will be sent later.
In previous years, Oscar neglected films that had good box office.
The nomination "Outstanding popular film" can also be a good response to criticism:
The Academy is often accused that films that receive awards do not reflect what viewers want to watch.
August 8 in the network appeared trailer of the movie "Belcanto" with American actress Julianne Moore in the title role. This is a film about the opera singer Roxane Coss, who comes to the USA to sing at a reception in honor of the birthday of the Japanese tycoon. During her speech, a group of militants burst into the house, taking hostages.
