I don’t know if anyone has already defended these: Ex Machina for Visual Effects

One of the most inspired winners of the 2010s. Also probably the biggest upset of that decade statistically, both in precedent and in odds.

Is this even controversial? Also who else did people think deserved to win in that category?

I wanted Meryl Streep to win for Into the Woods

Which might just be an unpopular opinion.

This win makes absolutely no sense to me. Mad Max Fury Road should have won this Oscar by miles.

Ex Machina got all this praise early on and kept building, and I thought Oh no it’s going to win for the same thing I saw in A.I.only not as good. And to add more aggravation the screenplay is old hat.

Didn’t care for that win.

The English Patient win for BP, it is a spectacular film that deserved far more than the others. Such a grand and sweeping film.

Probably the first time I didn’t finish to watch a film, such a boring movie, The Talented Mr Ripley is Anthony Mingella best film

I second this. Honestly, you can say what you want about the movie itself, but Berry is astronomically great in it. What a strong batch of nominees that year, but I think they chose the best.

McConaughey and Leto for Dallas Buyers.  I loved that movie and both of them.  And J Law for Silver Linings.
