Yes, because that award, even debased as it is today, will confer on the film an 'artistic' legitimacy that mere popularity won't.
Which I don't feel it deserves, but there are plenty who'd disagree with me.
Clearly someone wants them to start being made for Oscars, or there wouldn't be a push to create a special category to nominate them. So it would seem that all that critical and box office success just isn't enough without that cherry.
