Oscar Feedback

Seems Stephen King is in hot water because he said he'd pick art over diversity.  I agree with him.  Why should a mediocre film get nominated just because of diversity?  If the Academy wants to remedy that situation, they should increase the categories like they do for the Best Picture.  Let 7-10 be the final number, if there is a really good year in films.  I agree with Mr. King.  It's all about story and performance, well it should be.  To me it's still just a popularity contest.  How can one of anything really be the best of that year.  It's all about tastes of the voters.  They already have people's choice awards.
