Award Winners That You Disagree With - alright alright alright

[Scarlett Johansson]

What award winners do you feel should not have been awarded? This can be anything from Oscars to VGA awards to MTV awards, Grammy awards, Emmys and razzies.

Here are some of mine

Regina King (An American Crime) winning best supporting actress over Jean Smart (Fargo)

Jessica Tandy (Driving Mrs Daisy) winning Best Supporting Actress over Michelle Pfeiffer (The Fabulous Baker Boys) - Racist old white lady wins over sexy song siren

Matthew McConaughey (Dallas Buyers Club) winning Best Actor over Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 Yrs a Slave) - you lost all that weight heres your award haha suck it Bale

Emma Stone (La La Land) winning Best Actress over Isabelle Huppert (Elle) - Give the Frenchwoman her Oscar over the Chinese singing and dancing Hollywood shit

And of course....Crash winning Best Picture

I'd mention Shawn Colvin winning the Grammy despite liking that house fire song but I just like how the one guy threw a shit fit on stage.

 

[The Pink Panther]

This is gonna sound really autistic and no one in particular really cares about this Oscar category

Spoiler: Pure Autistic Cartoon Trivia

but tom and jerry didn't deserve to win any Oscars for Best Animated Short Film for Two Mouskeeteers and Johann Mouse and they should've won in 1947 over Tweetie Pie for Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Mouse

 

[Stoneheart]

Negro cat getting best score and not isle of dogs...

 

[PL 001]

As much as I love Jack Nicholson, how the fuck did he win an Oscar for "As Good as it Gets"? How was that movie even Oscar material in the first place? It was alright, it's not a bad movie, but it's nowhere near that good.

 

[Marco Fucko]

I'm not a leftist but I agree with their disdain for "we're not as bad as the KKK" movies that the Oscar voters seem to like. Basically one of those anti-racist movies like Crash or Green Book.

 

[Agent Nahman Jayden]

I'm mad about Coco winning "Best Animated Feature" instead of Loving Vincent. Don't get me wrong, Coco's animation was magnificent but it wasn't 100 people hand-painting a frame-by-frame shot movie, not to mention that nothing about Coco was original.

 

[HeyYou]

Annie Hall beating out Star Wars is pretty infamous.

Jessica Tandy (Driving Mrs Daisy) winning Best Supporting Actress over Michelle Pfeiffer (The Fabulous Baker Boys) - Racist old white lady wins over sexy song siren

Why? She was really good in that movie and she's a legendary actress.

 

[TheImportantFart]

I think the Oscars in general are a joke, but in the interests of not being a smarmy cunt and saying “all of them”, The Golden Compass beating out Transformers for Best Special Effects was absurd.

Also Olivia Colman beating out Glenn Close for Best Actress. I thought her performance in The Favourite was distinctly ordinary, at least compared to Glenn Close in The Wife.

 

[SteelPlatedHeart]

Suicide Squad winning an Oscar for best makeup.

 

[Oh Shit I'm Sorry]

The fact that It's Always Sunny has never been nominated for either an Emmy or a Globe is pretty fucking embarrassing (for comparison, The Big Bang Theory got nominated for a Globe thrice and Emmy 4 times). David Thewlis not winning for VM Varga in Fargo season 3 was another one I think the Globes really fucked up.

As for the Oscars, any semblance of credibility they had went out the window when a couple of the people who voted for 12 Years a Slave as Best Picture revealed they hadn't even watched the fucking thing (https://www.cinemablend.com/new/Two...tch-12-Years-Slave-Voted-It-Anyway-41981.html).

 

[Duncan Hills Coffee]

Al Pacino was nominated like 4 times in the 70s but didn't win anything. Serpico and Dog Day Afternoon were especially egregious because those were some of his best performances. Not to mention he was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for The Godfather despite obviously being the protagonist.

 

[FaceOfTrueHorror]

Last year had a few, Green Book for best picture, it was such a forgettable movie, wasn't awful but wasn't good, best editing for Bohemian Rhapsody was the worst one with the editing for that being the worst out of any studio movie of that year.

Anthony Hopkins for best actor in Silence of the Lamb, he was a supporting actor in that movie and in no way a lead, Robin Williams for The Fisher King or Robert De Niro for Cape Fear should have won, however I would have given Anthony Hopkins best supporting actor if he was up for that instead of best actor.

Shakespeare in Love was never a good movie and now is a forgotten movie, would have given the best picture to Before Sunrise, Heat or Leaving Las Vegas if they were up, but any of the noms would have been an improvement.

The King's Speech is a well made movie, but out of the 10 movies up for best picture for that year it was the weakest.

Renee Zellweger best supporting actress for Cold Mountain, I don't think she is a bad actress how she really struggled with this role which wasn't helped by the weak writing for her character.

Shrek winning the best animated film, Shrek really hasn't aged well as a movie, Monster Inc should have won.

Hugo for best special effect, I like the look for Hugo but it was weak on a tec level, Rise of the Planet of the Apes really should have won.

Life is Beautiful, the movie is just not funny, Roberto Benigni is awful in it, the reaction to his 2002 Pinocchio was not him making a bad movie for the first time, it was people seeing his work clearly.

The time has long since past that I thought of anything in terms of awards actually meant a mark of quality.

I used to know people who would do the whole Oscars watch list and participated in watching some of the films with him. Most weren't Oscar quality for that particular year, and when you think about it, if you get a bad year for films, then at least some of them will have to win an Oscar regardless.

That and the fact that the diversity brigade started to infiltrate the Oscars, which I'm sorry just because you had academy film with a black person in it as the lead, doesn't mean it should be guaranteed to win an Oscar. The fact that this was seriously questioned at one point by limiting academy votes. (Overwhelmingly old white Hollywood, just as rap music is overwhelmingly Old Black Compton.) Was the final nail in the coffin for my respect for the academy.

Palme d'Or is a superior award at this point, and even that is steeped in nepotism.

As for music awards, they're generally cancer or an industry circle jerk. Not to say the musicians aren't talented, they are and they deserve their awards, but it should be an industry recognition award and instead most of them got turned around as a way to sell albums and promotion, especially MTV awards series, those were always the most vapid shit you'd ever see.

As for TV and other industry awards again, I think it's an element of the old bygone days of TV to have these sort of televised awards, and it doesn't mean anything ultimately other than an insider industry seal of approval.

If scholarships and grants count then every fucking modern and contemporary artists that make art for the sake of art

 

[Idiotron]

Batman v Superman getting all those Razzies.
Especially when the female Ghostbusters came out the same year.
Upgrade not getting a nomination for best cinematography.

Barrack "drone strike" Obama getting a Nobel Peace Prize.
That one aged well.

 

[Next Task]

So, so many. So many. But just to start - anything Bohemian Rhapsody won this year, including Best Actor, not just at the Oscars, but anywhere. Rami Malek was overwhelmed by his fake teeth for half the film. Also, Toni Collette should have at least been nominated for Hereditary. Without having seen it I can't say definitively, but I strongly presume Green Book wasn't deserving this year; The Shape of Water didn't deserve Best Picture last year, either.

Also, Jessica Tandy won Best Actress, not Best Supporting.

 

[Recoil]

DJ Fly winning the 2013 DMC world championships. Jumbled, no precision and it SERIOUSLY looks like sections of the routine are being routed out of the sampler on his mixer. Serato destroyed the respectability of the DMCs.

ETA: The comments on this vid are quite the salt mine, even years later.

Forgot the razzies, those are worse than the Oscars.

While it didn't win the Thing, was up for worst score, they also had Thief as norm in 1981, and Rocky 4 won that award in 1985.

Rambo: First Blood Part II won worst picture in 1985, Rocky 4 was also up same year, while neither are great movies (well Rocky 4 is a great movie) they are nowhere near the worst of the year even if you just look at movie from the big studios .

Showgirls won in 1995, I know people hate this movie, it one of my favourite bad movies.

Worst actor and actress award is mostly award to ones they are sick of or were miscast rather than the true worst actor of the year, worth being when George W. Bush and Donald Trump won the award for being in documentaries, looking at the list only time they got it right was Jaden Smith (after earth 2013), Kirk Cameron (Saving Christmas 2014) at for worst actors.


Also Black Panther winning best visual effects at BAFTA

 

[The Penultimate Warrior]

Titanic winning 11 Oscars. For the technical achievements, sure. But Best Picture, Director and Song (as well as being nominated for Best Actress)? No chance.

I'm mad about Coco winning "Best Animated Feature" instead of Loving Vincent. Don't get me wrong, Coco's animation was magnificent but it wasn't 100 people hand-painting a frame-by-frame shot movie, not to mention that nothing about Coco was original.

I disagree politically. Out of the orthogonal cross-cut, namely, all Mouse-adjacent movies in the history of the Best Animated Feature award, Coco was the one that most deserved a win. From the execs' point of view, it'd look like the committee were punishing Pixar/Disney for making something other than Olaf Is Being A Massive Faggot.

All in all, if I were in charge of the awards since 2001, no contemporary Disney movie would've won a thing except maybe a Fields medal, but if I could only pick a winner for 2017, I might have picked Coco. As a children's movie, it's awesome.
