Additional Oscar Categories, and the 2018 Movies that Should Win Them

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at CMU chapter.

The Academy Awards are coming up, also known as the time where I lie about having seen the Best Picture nominees. It’s also the time when some movies have to face the fact that they’ll never receive an Oscar. But what if they could? I would like to propose ten new Oscar categories, and the movies that should win them. 

 

  1. The Oscar for “Best Romcom” goes to…To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before!
