Fun Most controversial Oscars opinions?

119 Upvotes

I know this has probably been done before but I’m new to the sub so shush. What are yalls most controversial/hot takes?

Mine is that JLC’s win for EEAAO was not THAT bad. She had more screen time than people let on. The most deserving? Definitely not. But it was a fun performance and I don’t mind it.

Also, probably not a hot take but Johansson 100% should’ve won over Zellweger in 2020. She had a huge year and gave the better performance.

With the Oscars wrapped, I wanted to explore a different way to commemorate this year’s winners. Instead of just a recap, I designed these visuals turning the Best Actor and Best Actress winners into statues themselves. Thought it would be a unique way to honor their performances. What do you think?
