Read our privacy policy The film academy has drawn ire by cutting four Oscar categories from this year’s broadcast – prompting disagreement from both fans and industry insiders.

Guillermo del Toro, the Oscar-winning director of The Shape of Water, which also took Best Picture in 2018, said on Twitter: “If I may: I would not presume to suggest what categories to cut during the Oscars show but – Cinematography and Editing are at the very heart of our craft. “They are not inherited from a theatrical tradition or a literary tradition: they are cinema itself.” Roma director and cinematographer Alfonso Cuaron said at the Directors Guild Awards earlier this month: “This decision has nothing to do with any decision about cinema It’s a broadcast thing decision.
