With just a few days to go before the 89th Academy Awards on Sunday, Twitter users started the hashtag #OscarsWeNeed, joking about the need for even more categories.

“Best Supporting Port Actor” might be better suited for the Golden Globes.
“Movie With the Most Mistakes” probably isn’t one the movie industry would sign off on.

The actual Oscars, with none of these categories, airs on ABC at 8 p.m. ET. Jimmy Kimmel is hosting.
