Toei Animation's official Twitter account is often a solid source of fresh popular media outtakes and they've struck again in response to the reveal of a new, "Best Popular" film awards category from the Oscars.

Many film critics are raising eyebrows at the creation of the special category in the year that Marvel's Black Panther will be eligible for votes.

The primary critique is that Black Panther is a virtual shoe-in to win and that the creation of this new award hurts its chances of receiving votes in more prestigious categories.

Toei Animation is approaching the issue from a different angle, implying that Dragon Ball Super: Broly might be the film to walk away with the honor.
