Mark Wahlberg on Oscar's "Outstanding Popular Film" category: "If they’d had the category before, we’d have won a couple of them,"

Mark Wahlberg was asked by Variety about what he thought of the new Oscars category:

“Maybe if they’d had the category before, we’d have won a couple of them,” he said. “We’ve had some really commercially successful films that we think certainly warranted that kind of notoriety. We make films that we want people to enjoy and if we get those kind of accolades, fantastic. If not, we make the movies for audiences to enjoy.”

“There are a lot of great films out there that happen to be very popular and haven’t been recognized that probably deserve the recognition,” Wahlberg continued.

What? You mean artful stuff like “Transformers: The Last Knight,” “Daddy’s Home 2,” “The Happening.” and "Ted"? Good stuff bruh. 

Former MMA/UFC champ, Ronda Rousey is another "actress" that believes in the "Popular film" category: “I might have a shot,” Rousey laughed. “Finally, I’m in the running for an Academy Award. I’m gunning for the outstanding achievement in popular film [award]. You heard it now. Vote for me.”
