    The name says it all. Feel free to comment on any and all perceived cases of category fraud in Oscars history – whether a lead role sneaking into Supporting or vice versa.

    Both these movies are masterpieces but this was just some outrageous fraud lmao.

    I’m totally devastated. There’s absolutely no excuse for this. We had everything we needed to make it to next year’s Champions League and we failed. We are Liverpool and qualifying to the competition is the bare minimum. I am sorry but it’s too soon for an uplifting or optimistic post. We let you and ourselves down.

    She did it before Mara and Stone.

    Solidarity with the striking writers. Pay them the wages they are owed for bringing us the content we are all on here because of!

    Julia Roberts in August: Osage County

    Daniel Kaluuya in Judas. He and Lakeith were co-leads imo

    I don’t mind some nominations, like Maria Bakalova in Supporting, because I understand that was the only way she could’ve gotten nominated for that role. But some are just really disrespectful to the work of the actors.

    Let’s nominate two leads from the same movie again, please… I guess a studio has to take the first step

    Performances that won/were nominated in Lead but that, in my opinion, belonged in Supporting:

    Anthony Hopkins – The Silence of the Lambs

    Sharon Stone – Casino

    Meryl Streep – The Devil Wears Prada

    Alicia Vikander – The Danish Girl

    Rooney Mara – Carol

    Those are the only two performances that I can think of that were truly category fraud. I loved Alicia’s performance and was glad she won the Oscar for the role because she was amazing. Rooney should’ve replaced Jennifer Lawrence in the Lead Actress category.

    Lead, supporting, is so subjective.
    But I guess the worst example I’ve seen is Casey Affleck in Assassination..Jesse James. That was ridiculous.
    Also if it’s a child or minor they’re almost always relegated to Supporting, even if they’re in every single freaking scene.

    The Sunne in Splendour.

    I think this year is unique in recent history with not having any category fraud.
