Discussion stephanie hsu should have won

Post image

I still cant get over the fact that JLC won over those 4 amazing nominations, especially stephanie hsu in the same movie.

I was shocked to see nomination for Jaime, that wasnt an acting that is supposed to be nominated for acadamy award. idk how stephanie didn’t swept the season just because shes young?

i would have been happy if any of the other actress won in the category but JLC winning over stephanie hsu will always be the thing that ill be upset about the oscar.

I’m sorry, but in no universe should Stephanie Hsu have won that Oscar.

If the question is: Should JLC have won that Oscar? The answer is no.

If the question is: Who should have won that Oscar? The answer is Kerry Condon or Hong Chau.

The idea that Stephanie Hsu should have won over JLC is just pure reactionary BS. Neither performance was good in EEAAO. Both were hammy, neither were believable. At least, JLC had her career going for her, which puts her above Hsu in my rankings.

But the rankings for that Oscar should have been, in my opinion: Condon/Chau, JLC/Bassett, Hsu.
