The Oscars are poised to do something on Sunday that they haven’t done in a very long time: Hand its top award to a blockbuster.
FILE - The marquee of the Los Feliz Theatre features the films “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer,” Friday, July 28, 2023, in Los Angeles. Both films were blockbusters in 2023. This combination of images shows Margot Robbie in a scene from “Barbie,” left, and Cillian Murphy in a scene from “Oppenheimer.” Both films were blockbusters in 2023.

When more widely seen movies are in contention at the Oscars, more people have historically tuned in. The most-watched Academy Awards ever was when “Titanic” ruled the 1998 Oscars, winning 11 trophies. Some 57.3 million viewers watched James Cameron declare “I’m the king of the world!”
