In a statement on Thursday, Academy CEO Dawn Hudson said the category “merits further study” and may be introduced at a future Oscars broadcast, though it will not be part of the 91st Academy Awards in February 2019.
The 91st Academy Awards will air Sunday, Feb. 24, 2019, on ABC.
The Academy also aims to cut future Oscar broadcasts down to three hours.
Are you glad the Academy is doing away with this category (for now)?
