The year of no movie theatres meant the year of no blockbusters; most have been pushed off for a year or more, and that’s … just fine? Justin Chang: “If the Oscars should go forward this year — and I think they should — then surely they should reflect that precarious new reality. They should also call for a bold new definition of what constitutes popular filmmaking, one that goes beyond the simplistic criteria of box office domination and franchise recognizability to include those pictures that fulfill the promise of smart, well-crafted, broadly accessible entertainment.”- Los Angeles Times
