The last decade were actually full of undeserving and terrible winners. But in my opinion, the single worst Oscar decision of the decade was by awarding Jennifer Lawrence the best actress for the self-indulgent and overrated Silver Linings Playbook. Rewatching the lineup, it always baffles me, why this particular performance won in such a solid lineup. Especially over the powerhouse Emmanuelle Riva in Amour.

What about you guys. What do you think the worst winner in any category of the decade..

Of course I’m kidding.

It’s actually Rami Malek. I really despise that movie and his performance. I don’t trash it as much as people here, but it’s because I want to forget that shit exists.

Also, First Man and 1917 weren’t bad Visual Effects winners, per se, but the fact that they beat Avengers Infinity War and Avengers Endgame, two of the highest grossing films of all time which had way better Visual Effects, is just really stupid. The Academy obviously has a bias against Marvel movies that aren’t named Black Panther.

Acting wise:

Best Actress – 2010: Sandra Bullock in The Blind Side. Now that we know how the Academy feels about black actresses in the category, Sidibe’s loss made just a tiny bit more sense. But Carey Mulligan was right there. Bullock literally came out of nowhere and ruined everything.

RU: Jennifer Lawrence in 2013 (I don’t think she even deserved the nom. My wish was: Chastain, Watts, Riva, Cotillard and Mirren); Emma Stone in 2017 (Isabelle Huppert was sitting right there).

Best Actor – 2014: Eddie Redmayne in The Theory of Everything. No one will able to convince me that Jake Gyllenhaal doesn’t deserve it. He was straight up robbed.

RU: Rami Malek in 2018 (I really wish Cooper wasn’t greedy and campaigned so hard in BD and forgot BA, but he did).

Best Supporting Actress – 2010: Melissa Leo in The Fighter. I know this is a controversial win, but I couldn’t help being disappointed when I first watched this a couple months ago. Leo was by far the worst one out of the four main actors/actresses.

RU: Alicia Vikander in 2015. I don’t know the general consensus on GoldDerby, but I thought Rachel McAdams was fantastic in Spotlight, but she had no chance anyway. Rooney Mara lost though…

Best Supporting Actor – 2018: Mahershala Ali in Green Book. While I don’t think it’s bad, the performance did not deserve a 2nd Oscar win for Ali at all. I know Richard E. Grant was probably 4th/5th, but his performance was absolutely fantastic and it would have been a much more inspiring choice.

Get Out in Original Screenplay when the screenplay was literally the film’s weakest aspect and every other contender was far more deserving.
Bohemian Rhapsody winning Editing.
Toy Story 4 winning over Klaus.
Both female Acting categories last year.
The incredibly boring and basic Let It Go beating Ordinary Love. The Globes did the absolutely right thing there and decided for quality rather than popularity.

Considering it’s the most dominant genre in the culture, it’s weird that there hasn’t been comic book / superhero winner in the category since Spider-Man 2 in 2004.

He knew he didn’t stand a chance against Malek and he was right. Almost no one would have.
