Nearly half carried acting wins, but it was always only one. And in the past 6 years there’s been an acting win every other year.

The King’s Speech (Firth), The Artist (Dujardin), Argo (none), 12 Years a Slave (Nyong’o), Birdman (none), Spotlight (none), Moonlight (Ali), Shape of Water (none), Green Book (Ali), Parasite (none), Nomadland (McDormand)

The last time a BP winner had more than one acting win was Million Dollar Baby (Swank and Freeman).

It’s bad enough that Green Book won , but to have it win over The Favourite is such a slap in the face
