Monique. I never wish to see her in anything again. She wins the Oscar and complains it ruined her career.
She can thank Oprah for the endorsement

Will Smith in King Richard… he’s literally the same in every dramatic movie and was the least deserving of all the nominees.

As if the performance wasn’t bad enough, the win is forever overshadowed by something else 💀

FYC:

Zar Amir Ebrahimi - Holy Spider (Best Actress)
Ana de Armas, Julianne Nicholson - Blonde (Best Actress, Supporting Actress)
Samantha Morton - She Said (Best Supporting Actress)
Kerry Condon - The Banshees of Inisherin (Best Supporting Actress)

Encanto winning Animated Feature. I think it was one of Disney’s weakest movies ever.

I would mention Ariana Debose win but no one is gonna remember it in a few months, so “universally liked” sounds like a stretch. LMAO

I don’t understand why people wanted her to win so much, totally wasted Oscar win. It should’ve been Kirsten but literally anyone else would’ve been more deserving.

I didn’t watch it, but I’m just happy Luca didn’t win. By far the Pixar movie I liked the least.

Yeah, I have to say- Will Smith. So many people were rooting for him; but he did nothing for me in King Richard.

I wouldn’t say the win is universally loved but her having an Oscar is; but for me Kate Winslet has never given a winning performance (in film, Mare of Easttown is GOAT performance) and if she was gonna win that year I wish it had been for Revolutionary Road, where she acted Leo off the screen.

Hillary Swank in Boys Don’t Cry and Million Dollar Baby; she’s good like, but I find all her acting so loud, like she might as well wear a badge that says “look how much I can act.”

Both lead acting winners this year felt underwhelming sorry. Both Will Smith and especially Jessica Chastain have delivered far more deserving performances in the past and I’m glad the latter in particular has an Oscar (goodness knows the amount of times she’s deserved to win in the past decade alone with Zero Dark Thirty, The Tree of Life and A Most Violent Year all under her belt) but both of their wins being dubbed as being for “performances of a lifetime” is bizarre to me when they just felt like career wins for ok performances.

I won’t begrudge it for all eternity because awards aren’t that important, life’s too short and there are plenty of other things going on in the world right now to worry about but I’m just perplexed at the labelling of this lineup of acting winners as one of the greatest of all time when only DeBose and Kotsur’s wins felt close to being that monumental.

FYC: Better Call Saul, The English and The Good Fight in all categories including Emily Blunt, Bob Odenkirk, Christine Baranski and Rhea Seehorn.

Yeah. Plus, the role of Anita in West Side Story has won before. One of my personal issues with this win is that I’d hate for it to potentially encourage some actresses in the industry to wanna try getting a new film adaptation of Gone with the Wind made so they could star in it and put their take on the character of Scarlett O’Hara.

Sounds like a winning description to me

She is great in that film, but I preferred Angelina and Meryl.

That CODA Adapted Screenplay win. I would’ve rather it broken a few other stats and won BP without screenplay than give it that over the other more worthy nominees.

My picks would be some that have been already mentioned like Colman (she wasn’t lead and I didn’t think she was extraordinary in that film like some Italian critic said about her performance in that movie), Sean Penn in Mystic River (I found him hammy and frankly didn’t move me much at all), McDormand in Fargo (for me she’s not lead in it and I think her role wasn’t anywhere near as challenging as those of, say, Blethyn or Watson), Bardem (I watched the movie for the 1st time only recently and I knew he had won an Oscar for it but he is ok. He doesn’t do anything wowing really). Last would be Hopkins for his first win… Category fraud and that’s why I don’t think it was deserving.

 

All these for me are good/ok performances, don’t get me wrong, but not extraordinary.
