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..
While I absolutely agree that both her performance and the movie were extremely overrated, I actually think that the worst winner is a tie between Mahershala Ali in Moonlight and Regina King. Neither one of them did jack crap in their respective movies.

I don’t even hate Birdman but Wes Anderson and Richard Linklater still being Oscar-less while Iñárritu won three in the same night is so frustrating.
When I determine my personal winners from among the nominees, BP and BD usually match because…well usually my favorite of the group is also the best directed lol. That ceremony, though, is one of the few instances where I have a split between the two, and the fact that Birdman took all three–I was livid.

Marina de Tavira should’ve won over her.
ReplyCopy URLMy immediate reaction was all of the BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY wins.
I do think BIRDMAN is good but I’m not sure it deserved all 3 of those big awards. That same night, Eddie Redmayne winning for a rather typical and not overly impressive performance in a bland biopic was ridiculous considering Michael Keaton was right there and Ralph Fiennes, Jake Gyllenhaal, and David Oyelowo were all left off the list.
Even if it did technically come out in 2009, I’m still livid about Sandra Bullock gaining traction and then winning for THE BLIND SIDE. I loathed it then and still do now.
Mahershala Ali obviously has talent but it seems so crazy that he got two undeserved Oscars so soon…and in the case of his second win, Richard E. Grant was robbed.
Laura Dern is a wonderful actress and I think she’s a delightful person but that performance was not worthy of even being on a top 20 list of performances let alone winning while the PARASITE women were sitting there not even nominated.

I remember holding my breath during supporting actress nominees announcement. I’m hoping to see Cho Yeo Jeong or Lee Jeong Eun name to be in the line up, instead I had to exhale out of pure disappointment witnessing one of the most boring line-up in the decade. Margot Robbie, Florence Pugh, Laura Dern.. these performances were terrible.

Even Amy Adams would have been a better winner than Regina King that year. I don’t know who engineered that hype for Regina cos she did absolutely nothing to warrant a mention…let alone nomination and wins.

The crazy thing is my personal line-up in supporting includes all 4 of the PARASITE women. They were THAT good in my book and Cho would’ve gotten my personal vote.
My 5th slot would actually be Florence Pugh. I thought she was truly a scene stealer in that film.
I had predicted Cho Yeo jeong early on as my “no guts no glory” pick but by the time the Oscars came around, I had long since removed her from my predictions. I did still have my Song Kang Ho prediction in SActor but that sadly didn’t go anywhere. He and Willem Dafoe were far more deserving than most of those nominees in their category.
