Every year everyone already knows who’s getting nominated and who is winning the acting categories What can the academy do to make things interesting?

Preferential ballot in all categories

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.

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.

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.
