Up to now, the story about the 2023 Oscar nominations is still facing controversy from the audience. According to international media, the main reason for this noise is because some of this year's Oscar nominations were judged by the audience to be unworthy.
Even many people think that some outstanding names deserve to be in the top nominations, but the organizers reject them.
Specifically, the nomination is for British actress Andrea Riseborough; the director category has no female nominees, lacks diversity – lacks nominations for actors of color...
With Andrea Riseborough nominated as Best Actress, for her role in the independent film To Leslie. After being criticized by the audience and thought that the actress had an unimpressive role, not worthy of being nominated, while many other names were more deserving, until now, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences still did not cancel the results.
Andrea Riseborough plays a single, alcoholic mother in To Leslie. The film was not very popular, leading to suspicions that the production team was favoring Andrea Riseborough.
Andrea Riseborough is nominated alongside Cate Blanchett (Tár), Ana de Armas (Blonde), Michelle Williams (The Fabelmans) and Michelle Yeoh (Everything Everywhere All at Once). The nominations are said to be missing actress Danielle Deadwyler (Till), Viola Davis (The Woman King)...
In another controversy, director James Cameron. Specifically, the director of the billion-dollar blockbuster series suddenly disappeared from the nomination for "Best Director".
Previously, the movie Avatar 2 by director James Cameron surpassed the $2 billion mark in global revenue not long ago. This achievement helped James Cameron become the first director in history to have 3 movies surpassing $2 billion in revenue, previously Avatar (2009) and Titanic.
Many audiences and experts expressed surprise at this news. Specifically, on film forums, audiences expressed their indignation and said that director James Cameron deserved to be nominated because in 2022, there were not many outstanding works. Meanwhile, the number of films that reached over 2 billion USD in revenue can be counted on the fingers.
In addition, the appearance of Ana de Armas in the Best Actress category surprised many audiences. The paradox is that while Ana de Armas was nominated for an Oscar, the film "Blonde" in which she played the main role dominated the nominations for the Golden Raspberry - an award that names the worst films and actors of the year.
“Blonde” - a fictional film about the late Marilyn Monroe directed by Andrew Dominik - leads with 8 2023 Golden Raspberry nominations, including: Worst Picture, Worst Remake, Worst Supporting Actor (2), Worst Screen Couple (2), Worst Director, Worst Screenplay.
Upon its release, “Blonde” was criticized by critics and audiences as a film that distorted the life and humiliated the legendary Marilyn Monroe.
The 2023 Oscars are scheduled to take place on March 12.
