I do think it was due to vote splitting between DMC and TPOD

I might be in minority but I doubt the reason why we had two safer and maybe basic choices in screenplays was due to vote splitting if that so three billboards and Chicago 7 would have won screenplays because get out and lady bird would have split the arthouse votes same as PYWm and som and Judas too

It is just the academy doing their stuff and maybe picking safer and harmless choices instead of challenging works

You’re contradicting yourself.

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 Sunne in Splendour.
I prefer my roses white
