Most undeserving actor Oscar win
Which actors and/or actresses didn't deserve to win? For me, it's got to be Natalie Portman. In Black Swan, the most compelling part of her performance was the dancing and they used a double.
shareBrad Pitt for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Hey Brad here's an Oscar for being really cool on screen. Had he been nominated for ad astra that same year I could have stomached that a little better. But not this one. He was the overwhelming favorite to win. Why?? I really don't see it. I like you Brad, but no
Clooney for Syriana. He wasn't a supporting actor number one. Number two he was the fifth best of that years set of nominees. Giamatti, Dillon, Gyllenhaal, and Hurt. Thank you academy for once again proving what a popularity contest you truly are.
Emma Stone - La La Land barf.
Julia Roberts - she was the overwhelming favorite that year. Beating out Laura Linney, Joan Allen, and Ellen Burstyn. If you can't tell by all my picks thus far. The popularity Oscars tend to piss me off the most.
It's funny you mention Brad Pitt as he won a Golden Globe early in his career for 12 Monkeys and lost the Oscar for 12 Monkeys to Kevin Spacy in the Usual Suspects. Then he wins an Oscar for a less good role. Just how it is.
sharePrecisely. It's rare for an actor to win for their best performance, or even be nominated for their best work
