Earlier this year the Academy announced the new popular film Oscar, but that’s now put on hold.
The new award had a lot of criticism when it was announced; therefore, it will not be featured in 2019’s ceremony.
The new category, “outstanding achievement in popular film”, needs further study until officially being introduced at the award show.
