Why is Oscar 2023 criticized by the audience?

Until now, the Oscar 2023 organizers are still receiving criticism from the audience because they think there is unfairness in the nominations.

Until now, the story of the 2023 Oscar nominations is still facing controversy from the audience. According to international media, the main reason for this noise is that some of the 2023 Oscar nominations were considered unworthy by the audience.

Many people even thought that some outstanding names deserved to be in the top nominations, but the organizers dismissed them.

Specifically, the nomination is for British actress Andrea Riseborough; The director category lacks nominations for women, lacks diversity – lacks nominations for actors of color…

Andrea Riseborough

With a nomination for Andrea Riseborough as Outstanding Female Lead, for her role in the independent film To Leslie. After being criticized by the audience and saying that the actress had an unimpressive role and was not qualified enough to be nominated, while many other names were more deserving, up to now, the Academy of Arts and Sciences Cinematography still does not cancel the results.

It is known that Andrea Riseborough plays a single, alcoholic mother in To Leslie. The film was not too attractive, causing public opinion to suspect that the organizers were favoring Andrea Riseborough.

Andrea Riseborough was nominated alongside Cate Blanchett (Tár), Ana de Armas (Blonde), Michelle Williams (The Fabelmans) and Michelle Yeoh (Everything Everywhere All at Once). This nomination list is said to be missing actress Danielle Deadwyler of the movie Till, Viola Davis of The Woman King…

Another controversy came from director James Cameron. Specifically, the leader of a series of billion-dollar blockbusters suddenly disappeared from the “Best Director” nomination.

James Cameron Says ‘Avatar 3’ Will Be Released Christmas 2025

Previously, the movie Avatar 2 directed by James Cameron surpassed the 2 billion USD mark in global revenue not long ago. This achievement helps James Cameron become the first director in history to have 3 films exceeding 2 billion USD in revenue, previously Avatar (2009) and Titanic.

Many audiences and experts expressed surprise at this information. Specifically, on film forums, audiences expressed their frustration and thought that director James Cameron deserved to be in the above nomination because in 2022, there are not too many outstanding works. Meanwhile, the number of films with over 2 billion USD in revenue can be counted on the fingers of one hand.

In addition, the appearance of Ana de Armas in the Best Female Lead category surprised many audiences. The paradox is that, while Ana de Armas was nominated for an Oscar, the movie “Blonde” in which she played the main role dominated the Golden Raspberry nominations – an award that names the worst movies and actors of the year.

Ana de Armas

“Blonde” – a fictional film about the late legend Marilyn Monroe directed by Andrew Dominik – leads with 8 2023 Golden Raspberry nominations, including: Worst film, Worst remake, Worst supporting actor Worst on-screen couple (2 people), Worst director, Worst script.

When released, “Blonde” was criticized by critics and audiences as a film that distorted the life and humiliated the legendary Marilyn Monroe.
