The Academy Award for Best Original Score hasn’t been divided into separate categories since 1999, and it’s unlikely to happen again.

It makes you wonder: is the Best Picture category fundamentally flawed, and if it is, how do we actually fix it?

Great ghost movies often tap into our fear of what we can’t explain. While some are intensely scary, the most effective ones all skillfully blend the ordinary with the supernatural, making it hard to tell what’s real and what isn’t.
