Sound getting split into 2 categories is stupid. The argument is that it's two separate skills. You know what else is two separate skills? Makeup, which folds in Hairstyling. Cinematography is a combination of Lighting, Framing and Camera Movement, which involves Camera, Electric and Grip. That's 3 departments that never cross over. Art Direction includes Set Dressing and Props. And now ALL of these are enhanced by Visual Effects.
Reduce Sound to One Category
Get rid of the 3 Short categories.
Revamp Foreign Language to either be truly All Inclusive, or own up to it being a Hollywood Awards show and limit the nominees to films that were released in the US during the calendar year, just like other Oscar categories. No more using the Oscar nomination or win to launch a marketing campaign for release the following year.
