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

It became even clearer that it was a starpower/career win when he got up there completely out of it and not his usual self. It felt like there was so little justifying the win in that moment.

“No Country For Old Men” as best picture 2007. Boring af, and boring movies should never win best picture.

And “The Departed” best picture win from a year earlier as well. We all know that movie won because of the “Marty is overdue for best picture” narrative and nothing else. I like the movie, but best picture was too much.

Dustin Hoffman is a great winner and he was great in Kramer vs Kramer, but I would give it to Peter Sellers for “Being There”.

 

i don’t know if it is a loved performance, but I  have never seen much criticism of Sean Connery’s win. I love that he is an Oscar-winner actor, but his accent is terrible in “Untouchables”.

CODA and Belfast winning Screenplay is hilariously absurd and egregious.   

How can someone take the Academy seriously after this…

Get Out in Best Original Screenplay. I would have preferred literally every single other nominee. If anything, it would have been a more deserving Directing winner.

Sure, let’s pretend that this is a universally loved win.

Sean Penn for both his wins.

Murray was in the better film and he had basically won everything he needed like bafta, globe and all the critics awards. Depp even won sag over penn which was awesome. But yeah Murray just overall had the better and more iconic performance.
Also Penn beating Rourke was stupid as well.  Penn played the most boring Oscar bait role I have ever seen and Rourke had the biggest comeback known to man and blew it out of the park. Rourke also won Bafta, globe and all the critics groups but still lost.

Forrest Gump. It was a Worldwide success. The World loved Forrest Gump. It seems it’s lost a lot 28 years later. I read a lot of people in Social Media especially Twitter bashing the movie and Tom Hanks. The case of Tom Hanks is really interesting. Hanks was The Biggest Star in The World. But it seems The Younger Generations don’t like him

I actually thought DLL should have won his third Oscar in Gangs of New York or Phantom Thread and Joaquin should have won for The Master. Phoenix is one of the most versatile actors. Walk the Line, You were never really here, gladiator, her and of course, the master are all better than Joker, even though joker was a great performance.

Depp was my favorite that year, an iconic performance.
