People Are Furious After Anonymous Oscars Voters Revealed The Lengths They Go To In Order To Avoid Watching Some Of The Nominated Films
Hot Topic 🔥 Full coverage and conversation on the Oscars Last week, internet users were outraged after it was revealed that the Academy had only just implemented an objectively *vital* rule for Oscars voters. The official press release stated, 'Academy members must now watch all nominated films in each category to be eligible to vote in the final round for the Oscars.' Given that the Oscars have been a thing for 90+ years, people were understandably pretty annoyed that this rule has only now been implemented. However, unfortunately, things just got way more disappointing. This week, Variety published an article centered around the 'loopholes' some Academy members had already found to avoid watching all of the Oscar-nominated films. The outlet reported, 'Today, some members, particularly in the Executive and Marketing and PR branches, simply press play on the Academy app to satisfy the system's viewing requirement — then mute the audio or switch tabs. 'The app only needs to see that you watched it,' says one voter. 'It doesn't know if you're sitting there.'' 'Another member admits they hit play before leaving the house to go to work,' the outlet added. Reacting to this online, tons of fans have questioned why people who aren't interested in watching all of the Oscar-nominated films are members of the Academy. Jeff Kravitz / FilmMagic 'If you're going to these lengths to not watch a movie then you shouldn't be a voting member of the academy,' one viral tweet read. 'There are more than enough people who would actually take this job seriously. Some might even do it for free. Fire everyone with this mentality,' someone else wrote. 'why do you have a career in film if you dont care about movies,' someone said, while another person echoed: 'why are you working in this industry then.' 'If you're this passionate about not watching movies why the fuck are you an Oscar voter?' one more user questioned. Meanwhile, some people left suggestions on how to overcome these 'loopholes.' 'They need to treat this like the SATs and make Oscar voters go watch in a monitored auditorium,' someone said. 'We should make academy members write book reports for movies,' another person wrote. Personally, I'd absolutely watch those films for free. I'd probably even pay to watch them, TBH. Feel free to share your thoughts down below.

Nirvana's Final Album Returns To Multiple Charts At Once
Nirvana charts four albums in the U.K. this week, including In Utero, which hits 52 weeks on one ... More list, and Nevermind, which appears on four rankings. Nirvana at the 1992 MTV Video Music Awards - Rehearsals at Pauley Pavilion in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic) Nirvana is having a massive week on the U.K. charts, which is not unusual for the act, even though the grunge pioneers broke up decades ago. Four of the band's albums find space on at least one tally apiece. Some reappear after time away, others improve from where they landed last frame, and in one case, a title returns to multiple lists. While Nirvana never has a bad time on the weekly rankings in the country, this period is especially notable, and shows how beloved the rockers remain to this day. In Utero, Nirvana's final studio album, reappears on two U.K. charts this frame while simultaneously climbing on a third. The title comes back to the Official Physical Albums chart at No. 88, and also re-enters the Official Albums Sales chart at No. 95. Both lists focus on pure purchases — digital and physical, respectively — and the set's return to the pair is a strong indicator that the project isn't just being listened to, but that there's still a real desire for fans to own it. In addition to bouncing back onto those tallies, In Utero also improves its standing on the Official Rock & Metal Albums chart. This week, it moves up from No. 19 to No. 16, continuing a long run on the genre-specific list that spans hundreds of weeks. As of this period, In Utero has now spent a full year — 52 weeks — on the Official Physical Albums chart. Some may be surprised that a set that was first released more than 30 years ago only hits that number now, but it still reaches the milestone nonetheless. The project has reached the Official Albums Sales list less consistently, as it's managed just nine total appearances there. On the Official Rock & Metal Albums ranking, however, In Utero is a regular. The full-length has now charted for more than 540 weeks, and it will continue to add to that sum seemingly every frame. While In Utero is bouncing back onto multiple tallies, Nirvana's Nevermind is having an even bigger week. The band's iconic release finds space on four different tallies in the U.K., more than any other project from the band this time around. It improves on three of those lists and reappears on a fourth – another great sign for the blockbuster. Even more impressively, Nevermind holds inside the top 40 on all four rankings. The band's self-titled compilation Nirvana, released in 2002, also finds itself on a pair of U.K. lists this week, though its performance is somewhat uneven. On the Official Albums chart, which ranks the most-consumed full-lengths in the country, the compilation slips to No. 89. That dip is offset, at least slightly, by a small gain on the Official Streaming Albums chart, where it rises one spot, settling at No. 77. Another one of the only releases from Nirvana's discography, MTV Unplugged in New York, is still present in the U.K.. The set, which was released after frontman Kurt Cobain's death, bolts seven spaces this week to land at No. 19 on the Official Rock & Metal Albums chart.
