Oscars are more populist than festivals like Cannes, Venice — hence the Best Popular Film category
FirstpostThe latest in the “Oscar institutes a Best Popular Film category” row is that film technicians have weighed in, dismayed that the presentation of some of their categories will not be aired live. The Competition prizes include three overall-film awards, Best Short Film, Best Actress, Best Actor, Best Director and Best Screenplay. Apart from the big prizes – Golden Lion, Silver Lion, Grand Jury Prize, Best Actor, Best Actress, Special Jury Prize – there’s the Golden Osella, an umbrella category that covers screenwriting, cinematography, and so forth. If you consider North American film festivals, the top prize at Toronto is the People’s Choice Award, though there are juried prizes for Best Canadian Film, Best Canadian First Feature Film, and Best Canadian Short Film, as well as international awards for Best Short Film.
