I would embrace that just to see what would happen.

Not having 80000 precursors is probably the only foolproof way to prevent this and fat chance of that ever happening

Decide each category by having all five nominees fight each other on live TV.

Being interesting is not in the Oscars’ mission statement, nor should it.

"I don't even believe in god, but I'm going to thank her tonight."

It’s got to be entertaining though if they want people to watch.

Preferential ballot is the key. Imagining last year’s best actress race in a preferential ballot is giving me boner tbh. It would’ve been so exciting with all the #1-2-3 votes between two deserving nominees and Emma Stone.

It probably won’t happen but I would love the Oscars to air before all the guild awards.  It would make the show more exciting and lessen Oscar season fatigue.

Preferential ballot is the answer. Many of the hot young things wouldn’t have won if it was used in the past. Why? I don’t see people who liked Isabelle Huppert putting Emma Stone as #2, she’d definitely be #5. But on the other hand I could see people who wanted to fuck Stone putting Huppert as #2 or #3.

There are too many award shows. I honestly see no point in having SAG and Critics Choice. Half of the time, the critics choice winners are not similar to the winners of the minor critic awards.

In defense of Critics Choice, there is like zero overlap between the membership of, say, the NYFCC and the BFCA. It’s definitely elitist vs. populist.
