The organisers of the Oscars have announced they have postponed plans to introduce a new popular film category at their annual awards ceremony.

　　原定在周年颁奖仪式上引进新的受欢迎电影种类的计划将推迟进行，奥斯卡举办方对外称。

　　The award, which could have recognised films popular with audiences but not critics, was only announced last month.

　　举办方上个月宣布，流行电影的奖项将由观众进行评比而不是电影评论员。

　　In a statement, the Academy’s CEO said she had "recognised the need for further discussion" with its members about the proposal first.

　　影艺学院首席执行官对外发表声明称，最初成员们提出这个提议的时候，她“认为有进一步讨论的需要”。

　　It was set to be introduced at the 91st Oscars in February 2019.

　　新种类将会在2019年2月份的第91届奥斯卡会上推出。

　　The Academy recognized that implementing any new award nine months into the year creates challenges for films that have already been released, it said in statement.

　　声明中说到，“奥斯卡主办方意识到，在一年中的九个月里实施任何一项新的奖项，对于那些已经发布的电影来说都是一个挑战。”

　　Which films could win the new Oscar?

　　哪个电影会赢得此新奖项?

　　It also added that its board of governors would continue to discuss the matter, and will "examine and seek additional input regarding this category".

　　声明中还补充说，理事会将继续讨论这一问题，并将“在此类别的奖项中投入更多的精力进行审查和探索”。

　　After its announcement, the category drew praise from the public on social media but received a backlash from some in Hollywood.

　　关于新类别的提议宣布在社交媒体上受到了公众的赞扬，但是好莱坞的一些人却强烈反对。

　　It was widely suggested the move was a bid to improve dwindling television audiences for the event, rather than recognising artistic merit.

　　普遍认为，奥斯卡这个举措是一种为了改善自己正在下降的收视率而做出的“竞价行为”，而不是认可其艺术价值。
