JK Simmons's performance is indeed the crown jewel of this decade, which includes a mix of worthy winners and others who were merely OK.
Very much! Simmons was undeniable that year!
I agree with his top 3 or 4. After that, I would switch the order for some of the winners.
This might be an unpopular opinion but I usually find the supporting category to be much more interesting and fun to watch
You know what? That's true! I do find it much more interesting than the lead
Best Supporting Actress is my favorite category - lots of surprises over the years.
@@pinkyboy8576yeah that’s where the races truly are unlike the lead categories.
Supporting actress is my favorite .Followed by lead actress and supporting actor is almost a tie .Lead actor is probably my least favorite overall.
@@oscarman42 my favortie too.
With both Ali and Waltz, I think you need to forget the fact that they had previously won an Oscar. It should not be an issue whatsoever. It’s always been contentious giving someone a ‘career Oscar’ and I think it the same should apply with someone who has previously won, it should be awarded to the best performance irrespective of previous awards or non-awards.
He literally has said countless times. Blanchett may have 2 Oscars and may have given the better performance, but this was Yeohs moment. I'm like you argue Oscars should celebrate the best of merit, but than pick and choose which narratives piss you off or not. If you're biased and like a narrative, sure. Just be consistent
I think the problem with Ali and Waltz’s second wins is that the second performances are both for roles that are not nearly as strong as their previous wins in the not so distant past. It’s not so much that they’re previous winners, it’s more that they had demonstrated much stronger work very recently.
I was so pleased that Christopher Plummer was ranked so high. I was delighted that he finally got the Oscar, "Beginners" is an underrated movie, and isn't talked about enough.
Totally agree about Richard E Grant. What an amazing performance.
Same here!!!
JK Simmons is easily the best winner, but if Richard E. Grant had won instead of Mahershala Ali (category fraud), Grant would be a close second.
Not only do I think Stallone gave a better performance than Mark Rylance, but I don't think that the Rylance win aged well. Who really cares so much about Bridge of Spies anymore, and who really remembers Rylance winning as monumental and memorable? Stallone's win for Creed would have been historic; people would still remember it.
Waltz's win is far better than rylance too, I don't get waltz being number 9
Rylance gave a great performance. Bridge of Spies is underrated af. Stallone is a hindrance to every single movie he’s in.
Rylance was very good but Bridge of Spies is one of Spielberg’s dullest films. Stallone could have won if more people (Coogler, Jordan) had been rightfully nominated for Creed. Also frankly Stallone might have won if he was a nicer guy - much as I like him as an actor he has a rep as a jerk.
@@matthewschwan7127 agreed.
Stallone is a terrible actor. He's the Razzie champ For a reason. He's never going to win a competitive Acting Óscar
Christian bale deserved that oscar for the fighter. What a movie
What a performance. Everybody in the film was amazing
Agreed! I think that 6th on his list is too low (but i am biased because i love Christian Bale)
I would rank him above Pitt
@@ferreversmissen4875shoulda won for American Psycho
Christoph Waltz in Django Unchained was a supporting role! I don't understand your fixation on it. He literally died before the third act, and the movie is called DJANGO Unchained
100% agree here
🤔
Stallone also has more screentime than Waltz but he doesn't argue Stallone was a co lead
I agree it's Django's story .Waltz isn't even there for the last third .Waltz is great though. One of my favorite wins .
We discussed His Performance and Django and for us He is also colead for us. He Had the Most Screentime by far!
JK Simmons was like WOW!
please do the same for the 2000s and 1990s, i really like to see your opinion
I would love to see it, too! I would love to see more Oscar race videos, but I know those are ones that would probably take the most time after the "Elusive Oscars"
Yes
2000s are beyond loaded. Bardem, Ledger and Waltz (Basterds) 3 years in a row? Unreal.
@@bigo3116an incredible best supporting actor run
omg i'm so glad you put christopher plummer high he's so good
It's a bummer that Mark Rylance didn't get a nomination for Bones & All. His performance was equal parts intriguing & terrifying. He completely disappeared into that character.
That would've been an awesome
Yes, you definitely have to do a deep dive on 2015. Word is people became sick of Stallone undermining Coogler's work on Creed during the award season, coupled with the reputation of being "difficult". I think this came up on the Unspooled podcast last year.
I think what happened with Waltz for Django Unchained is that the majority of the race that year seemed to be between PSH in The Master, Robert De Niro in Silver Linings Playbook, and Alan Arkin for ARGO. There was no real major contender that was sweeping the season that year, so there may have been a divide in votes between those three. And maybe because of that divide, Waltz was able to sneak in and take it. I think, looking back on it now, we can all agree that PSH had the better overall performance and was more deserving of the win, but hindsight is 20/20.
Though honestly, Samuel L. Jackson getting in and winning for Django Unchained would’ve been fitting too, since he controversially lost Best Supporting Actor for Pulp Fiction (another Tarantino film), and this could’ve been a way to make up for that.
Christoph Waltz is only in 2/3 of Django Unchained while Jamie Foxx is in like 90% of it. That's why Waltz is the Supporting Actor.
Yes!
This year Carey Mulligan was in 2/3 of Maestro and was a Lead Actress
@@nikolasheinz Carey was in 50% of the film. yesshe was a lead as the story focused on their marriage
Sam Elliott in 'A Star is Born' was my favorite supporting male performance that year. I was rooting for him. He was very proud to have been nominated for an Oscar for the first time - he was happy to talk about this nomination during interviews during the Oscar campaign - I feel Mahershala Ali gave a good performance in 'Green Book', but Sam Elliott was a scene-stealer in 'A Star is Born'.
Thiiiiis
Elliott was fine but Richard E. Grant was amazing.
@@johnnolan5579 Don't get me wrong, I loved Richard E. Grant's performance, I preferred the movie "Can You Ever Forgive Me?" to "A Star is Born". But it was clear that Sam Elliott really, really wanted this Oscar in the interviews he was doing (it reminded me of the face Sally Kirkland made when she was nominated at the 60th Academy Awards).
And I really thought that the Academy would take into account his extraordinary career that has spanned more than 6 decades give him the Oscar he wanted so much.
A star is born is a modern classic
My favourite part was after JK winning was Neil Patrick Harris singing the Farmer's Insurance jingle, but as "He's got an Oscar, bum bada bum bah bum bah bum"
So this is anecdotal, but a dear friend of mine used to work at MGM in a secretary position, and Sylvester Stallone was horribly rude to him on several occasions. He treated my friend like he simply didn’t matter - like dirt. Sure, Stallone’s a big star, but that doesn’t give him the right to be a dick.
All that to say, I’m glad he lost the Oscar haha. Also I love Mark Rylance.
Cool thx bye
I never 👎 had any love for Rocky or Sly
More Oscar Rankings please!!!! We need for the other decades as well.. Also, do Oscar Nominations rankings for Nicole Kidman, Kate Winslet, Amy Adams, Leonardo Di Caprio.
Plz make a video on stalone vs rylance
I would call Christopher Waltz supporting. He is assisting Django in his story. Django unchained is about a man trying to free his wife, Christopher Waltz is assisting in that. He is also not there for the final half of the third act. He seems lead because he is quit the talker especially compared to Jaime Foxx's more subtle performance and because of the big moment he had at the end of his arc. I do agree with you that Leonardo DiCaprio and Samuel L. Jackson give amazing performances and either one of them would have been a more satisfying win. My pick would be Samuel L Jackson
I agree. Waltz just doesn’t get any real scenes to himself where he isn’t supporting Django’s narrative and then he’s dead for the last twenty minutes. Correct me if I’m wrong (it’s been a while since I watched it) but isn’t character basically just along for the ride anyway, ie, he doesn’t have his own goal?
I agree .Jamie is the lead .Waltz is in support of Django it's not his story it's Django's .
I am one of the rare ones who was rooting for rylance over Stallone...that movie floored me...Hanks was phenomenal as well...n that ending sequence...
Same Here. I want rylance or Hardy to win that Oscar that year and I even liked Creed AS well.
At the time I was among those who were mad that Sylvester Stallone lost to Mark Rylance. But after I watched Bridge of Spies, I came to appreciate the movie and Rylance's performance. It's not one of Spielberg's masterpieces but it's still a fine watch. Sure Stallone had a narrative but he actually had some baggage with him while Rylance was a very respected dramatic actor both on screen and stage plus he was always very kind and humble. Also I'm happy that the late great Christopher Plummer won an Oscar. Once Upon A Time In Hollywood is very rewatchable in so many ways, Brad Pitt was excellent and so were the ensemble. Tarantino really crafted an exquisite masterpiece in that one.
Simmons. Undeniable.
Putting Jared Leto’s highly offensive performance anywhere but last is definitely a choice😵💫
That was my thought. When he said "it's not a bad win" I felt a little sick to my stomach
Brad Pitt's acting as Cliff Booth seemed flawless because the body language of Cliff Booth embodied into himself. All of his gestures, micro expression and the subtlety of his acting as Cliff Booth are worth winning an Oscar. Although I seemed to disagree with the assumption of Pitt's role could be co-lead. Cliff Booth is definitely a supporting actor, not because of his screen time but because he was meant to compliment Rick Dalton.
Agreed on all points .
I agree. The same can be said about the supporting role of Shultz in Django. His characters purpose was to help the lead
@@kellie-nd1yp Thanks :)
@@AJ-ns8st yes, I too agree with your opinion regarding Django Unchained. The fundamental of supporting character is well, to support the main character. Although they have almost the same amount of screen time and sometimes steal the audiences, they are there to enhance the story, not to lead.
Mark Rylance didn't get enough love that night, just because not as many people knew who he was compared to Stallone and they didn't appreciate his subtle acting and he also gave one of my favorite speeches
I know the best supporting actress winners of the 210s are coming soon and I just want to say Monique performance and win for Precious from 2010 is by far 4 the BEST of that decade!!!!!
Precious is a 2009 movie so it won't count for that list much like Waltz's Supporting Actor win for Inglorious Bastards didn't count for this list.
Stallone really lost the Oscar when he didn’t thank Ryan Coogler and Micheal B Jordan on stage at the golden globes. I still think about how awful that moment is since Coogler was the driving force behind Creed and had talked about how big a fan he was of the rocky movies. Really showed the kind of person Stallone is.
I felt the same way about "Moonlight". Just scraped at my feelings.
Makes me sad a completely forgotten performance took what would have been a historic Oscar for Stallone.
I disagree with Jared Leto
That performance was actually multi-faceted and really impressive
Well deserved win, and had no completion that year
I liked his performance too.
As I liked him in Mr Nobody and Requiem for a dream.
(Un)fortunately he accepted that role in Suicide Squad and that killed his career.
Do you think a cis man should be playing a trans woman 🧍♀️ in a movie?
I'm sorry, but seeing a cis man win for playing a trans woman is just sickening.
J. K. Simmons was phenomenal!!!! I too had tough teachers in my training but never to his level.
He gave me chills watching his performance.
Great list Brian!!!!
re Can You Ever Forgive Me, Grant and McCarthy gave 2 of the most underrated performances of the decade. They were perfection.
Why doesn’t Melissa do more drama when she was superb in that movie 🎥?
J.K. Simmons is the best of the bunch.
Rockwell was my personal favorite win.
No offense to Rylance, but Stallone absolutely deserved that win.
The way this list slaps! Even when you say the word Whiplash, you think of JK Simmons' performance right away. Adore Mahershala Ali's Moonlight & Christopher Plummer's Beginners wins as well. Great video, Brian!
I think Pitt should have got one for 12 Monkeys, but alas,
i think he deserved both Oscars the years he won both of his acting golden globes
I love Brad Pitt, but i think he is playing himself, not much of a challenge. I also think once upon a time in Hollywood is a little bit overrated, it is my least favorite or Tarantino, but to each their own.
I thought Brad Pitt was just good or okay in OUATIH. He does have a magnetic and charismatic presence, but does that make it an Oscar winning performance? I don't know. It's also arguably category fraud, as is the case with others this decade.
Re: the Stallone vs Rylance Oscar video- yes please! Would be cool to watch as that was certainly an interesting Oscar’s race that year
I went into Three Billboards not expecting much and got floored. It's phenomenal.
I remember when Rylance swiped that Oscar from Stallone. I was cursing up a storm at my TV.
Great Video Brian! When are we going to see the last Meryl Streep Video. We’re waiting……….
I think we'd get along super well Brian, I find myself almost always agreeing with your takes. Grant should have won over Ali 100%. I thought Ali was too technical in the role, especially in his emotional scenes. Some scenes felt forced and I think Grant was just phenomenal and was robbed of that award.
Christian Bale was great in The Fighter, but also thought Geoffrey Rush was excellent in The Kings Speech
Also John Hawkes in Winters Bone and Garfield for SOcial Network. great year for supporting
Bale in lead for me, cause He IS colead and Hawkes in supporting
It was SO wonderful to see Christopher Plummer get recognition for his outstanding performance.
Are you going to do a version for the 2000's of every acting category?
I’m glad Christian Bale finally won an Academy Award, though he’s somebody who should have more than one. His performance in The Fighter is truly amazing. I remember after seeing it, I thought this is the kind of performance that should win an Oscar and I never thought that before. I was quite happy to see him win. Thank you for the video Brian, I hope you’re doing well. Take care!
I liked Pitts’s performance in 12 Monkeys a lot better than Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Not disputing the win here - just think the Academy missed the boat with that earlier film
Rylamce gave a masterclass performance in bridge of spies. He is also a far better actor than stallone in general. So I get hia win. For me he was second from the line-up. I awarded Tom Hardy that year.
Love you videos, Brian! Never miss one! Mahershala is my favourite in Moonlight. Maybe just because he’s so so beautiful I don’t know 😂🎉❤
I have to disagree with you about Rylance. He was brilliantly nuanced in Bridge of Spies, playing a Russian spy (or at least a man accused of being one) and doing it in such a way that does not give him away at least until the end. Everyone in the movie hates him, including all the extras, except Tom Hanks, and yet they respect him. He needed to be a particular kind of convincing to pull all that off. I don't know how other actors would've interpreted the role. The movie is not Spielberg's best, but still worth a rewatch, if only for the acting from the likes of Plemons, Rylance and Hanks, the script (co-penned by the Coens), the score by the perennial bridesmaid that is Thomas Newman and great work by Spielberg's usual posse. The problem with Stallone (even though he was great) is that he was playing a role and character that he already played in like 6 other movies, starting with Rocky back in the zero hundreds. You should know by now how the Academy feels about sequel performances (hint Angela Bassett).
I heard Sylvester Stallone Speech at the Globes hurt him because he didn’t mention Michael B Jordan and the Director
Three billboards is nearly a masterpiece. I think it definitly ahould had won best picture and screenplay, too!!!
9. Mahershala Ali as Juan (Moonlight)
8. Christoph Waltz as Dr. King Schultz (Django Unchained)
7. Mark Rylance as Rudolf Abel (Bridge of Spies)
6. Jared Leto as Rayon (Dallas Buyers Club)
5. Sam Rockwell as Jason Dixon (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri)
4. Mahershala Ali as Dr. Don Shirley (Green Book)
3. Christian Bale as Richard "Dicky" Eklund (The Fighter)
2. J.K. Simmons as Terence Fletcher (Whiplash)
1. Christoph Waltz as Colonel Hans Landa (Inglourious Basterds)
Yet to see Beginners.
Ah, yes. J.K. Simmons. Or, as I will always call him, Dr. Emil Skoda. Law and Order super-fans will know what I'm talking about there! 😊 By the way, you should do a video about songs that should have been nominated, but weren't. (Hint, hint. "Stayin' Alive" 😄🕺)
I live in an area that only gets big Blockbusters and I drove 3 hours to see Whiplash and it was worth it. Absolutely incredible movie and JK Simmons is the Lion's Share of that
Please, I need the best supporting actress and other decades, please.
I honestly think Eddie Redmayne should have been nominated/won Best Supporting Actor for his performance as Marius in Les Mis. Sure, that film has its flaws but Redmayne's performance is a standout of the film, and as you said all the other nominees that year had already won Oscars. Also, it would have been a better win for Redmayne than winning for The Theory of Everything.
My Top 10 Best Supporting Actor Oscar Rankings of the 2010's
1. J.K. Simmons (Whiplash)
2. Brad Pitt (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood)
3. Christian Bale (The Fighter)
4. Sam Rockwell (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri)
5. Christoph Waltz (Django Unchained)
6. Mahershala Ali (Green Book)
7. Christopher Plummer (Beginners)
8. Mark Rylance (Bridge of Spies)
9. Mahershala Ali (Moonlight)
10. Jared Leto (Dallas Buyers Club)
Just me, but Mark Rylance's performance in Bridge of Spies (which I love) is just the kind of thing I love. Where you can tell what he is thinking, just from the way he moves his eyes. I agree heartily, I love Richard E Grant. Despise Louise Fletcher.
I do agree Ali was a co-lead in “Green Book”. It was a good performance but definitely not the best in the category.
will you do this format also with Best Director, Best Picture and maybe Best Cinematography?
Ali and Waltz won their 2nd oscars due to recency bias
Anyone could’ve won over Leto… terrible actor
Stallone lost due to popularity bias
Bale’s performance is very forgettable, Wahlberg not even getting a Lead Actor nomination is crazy
Pitt deserved that win but he was a lead as much as Leo
Plummer’s win was a legacy win but his performance in Beginners is truly amazing
Three Billboards is fantastic and Rockwell and especially McDormand both deserved those oscars
Moonlight is a true American cinematic masterpiece. As a gay man myself growing up in a similar culture and environment, there were moments in that film were I thought it was me, especially the scenes in school
JK Simmons win was for the common people. A movie that’s so universal that I don’t know a single human who dislikes it. Simmons performance might be the greatest acting performance this century aside from Lewis in There Will Be Blood, Bardem in NCFOM, Ledger in TDK, Theron in Monster and Washington in Training Day
1. JK Simmons (Whiplash)
2. Brad Pitt (Hollywood)
3. Christoph Waltz (Django)
4. Mahershala Ali (Moonlight)
5. Christopher Plummer (Beginners)
6. Mark Rylance (Spies)
7. Sam Rockwell (3 Billboards)
8. Mahershala Ali (Moonlight)
9. Christian Bale (Fighter)
10. Jared Leto (Dallas Buyers)
the winners i would have chosen for the decade are
-Christian bale the fighter
-Christopher Plummer beginners
-Philip seymour hoffman the master
-Barkhad Abdi captain Philips
-J.K simmons whiplash
-Idris Elba beasts of no nation
-Mahershala ali moonlight
-Willem Dafoe the Florida project
-Richard E grant can you ever forgive me
-Joe pesci the Irishman
Please give us your own oscar choices for best picture! Qpuld be auch a great video! 🎉❤ I think we had nearly the same picks. I have whiplash and three billboards, too.
Captain phillips is such a great film.
I still think about Chris Plummer’s acceptance speech. Very funny.
I don’t know if you ever consider this, but have you ever considered doing a ranking of Oscar winning performances directed by the same Director, like Martin Scorsese?
100% agree with you about "Whiplash".
I agree with you that Whiplash was the best picture of 2014. I also agree that Stallone should've won best supporting actor over Mark Rylance.
Bale’s performance was absolutely deserved. He steals every single scene he is in.
My Ranking:
#10 - Brad Pitt (On a Technicality because he's Leading) - My Pick: Al Pacino - The Irishman
#9 - Mahershala Ali (2018, Also a Lead) - My Pick: Richard E. Grant
#8 - Christopher Plummer - My Pick: Kenneth Branagh: My Week with Marylin
#7 - Christian Bale - My Pick: Geoffrey Rush - The King's Speech
#6 - Mahershala Ali (2016) - My Pick: Michael Shannon - Nocturnal Animals
#5 - Christoph Waltz - My Pick: Tommy Lee Jones - Lincoln
#4 - Mark Rylance - Deserved
#3 - Jared Leto - Deserved
#2 - Sam Rockwell - Deserved
#1 - J.K. Simmons - Deserved
10. John Hawkes (2011) nominated at Indie spirit for Martha Marcy May Marlene
9. Matthew McConaughey for Mud (2013)
8. Samuel L Jackson- Django Unchained (2012)
7. Willem Dafoe for Florida Project (2017)

4, Aaron Taylor Johnson over Michael Shannon for Nocturnal Animals(2016)
3. Bale deserved if you see him supporting (2010)
2. J K Simmons deserved (2014)
1. Tom Hardy- The Revenant (2015)
thats my personal list and rankings
J.K. Simmons was the best actor that decade 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 even more than winners in leading actors, like Phoenix, or Day-Lewis.
Since I watched a lot of your videos and totally disagree with 98% of your opinions, I want to thank you for my new channel idea. 10,000,000 views 😊
I'd swap 'Christoph Waltz'-Django Unchained with 'Christopher Plummer'-Beginners at Number 9
DiCaprio and Jackson were AMAZING in Django
I still love that bale performance I was in awe I still watch that movie often
I love your top 4! I thought Brad Pitt was just good or okay in OUATIH. He does have a magnetic and charismatic presence, but does that make it an Oscar winning performance? I don't know. It's also arguably category fraud, as is the case with others this decade.
As always, wonderful commentary and video!
I think Jack here was asleep. @4:18
I think Ali is fantastic performance in Green Book. My issue is that it is a co-lead! One hour of screentime. Should’ve been nominated for best actor.
Blowing the chance for a cool beautiful moment about 50 years later to give one to Rocky, are why the Oscars make me too angry on balance.
When you get to the 1980’s and you discuss nominations that never happened…..
John Mahoney in ‘Say Anything’ had better be on the list.
He was heartbreaking, and pompous and endearing. With his expressive face …. NTM, his is the epitome of a supporting role.
How he went unrecognized
I have no idea.
Ive loved JK since Oz and Im so happy hes gotten the recognition he deserves.
JK Simmons and Plummer are my #1&2
I agree on waltz as colead in django. Also that probably dicaprio wpuld had won in aupporting and also that psh should had won for the master. Also with Ali and richard e. Grant. We agree on nearly everyrhing again. Yeah!!!
Take heed: if you want to rank high, give this guy a "fit"! If it ain't theatrical and over the top, he won't remember you and therefore he won't think you're worthy (never mind that we're judging performances and not movies!)
It's funny how humans can wrap their minds around things and fit them into their version of reality. Rick Riordan
Mr Plummer ❤
A race between keaton and redmayne. I literally cried for keatons gg win!! I agree with Stallone
Jared Leto's Oscar should have gone to FASSBENDER, amazing three dimensional villain
i think Fassbender shoulda won for Steve Jobs, debatably two if youthink hes deserving for Shame. But when you compare Fassbender to Lupita he doesn't hold up to her brilliant iconic performance
@@SoulKnightKing Shame performance was outstanding
@@oscarpinillacastro5893 he's my 2nd choice that year behind Michael Shannon for Take Shelter. But both were better than all the nominees that year
@@SoulKnightKing Isn't Shannon the lead of Take Shelter?
@@oscarpinillacastro5893 we were praising Fassbender lead performance of Shame. That was the context
Joe Pesci was better than Brad Pitt.
My prediction was between JK simmons or Christian bale as to who would be Number 1.
As to your point about Plummer winning in an otherwise unrecognized film, remember, his best competition that year was Nolte, in an even more drastic example. Beginners is a solid movie with a good story... warriors is not. Warrior was honestly a pretty bad film, it was just graced with the presence of Tom Hardy Nick Nolte and Joel Edgerton all giving it their best. I respected Plummer a lot as an actor, and he deserved an oscar, but I'd be lying if I didnt day I would have preferred for Nolte to win.
All Tarantino's SUPPORTING actor Oscar's are really LEAD characters. All of them.
True
Wow, I (respectfully) disagree with a lot of your comments! Okay, I agree with your low ranking of Waltz, I don't think his Django Unchained work was award-worthy, while PSH should have won that year. Jared Leto's win looks embarrassing now. And JK Simmons probably deserves his top ranking. But, 1.) Yes, Richard E. Grant should have won in supporting that year, because Ali's outstanding performance should have been nominated in lead instead. I thought his Green Book work was better and more memorable than his work in Moonlight. 2.) Rylance deserved his Oscar and should have been ranked top five on this list. 3.) Christian Bale stole every scene he was in in The Fighter, he was the best part of the movie. 4.) Sam Rockwell and his character are easily the best things about Three Billboards - the plot has holes throughout it and the other performances were fine but not great. Rockwell's acting and his thug-who-finds-redemption character are the reason to watch it.
I don't understand the hate for Green Book. I kind of enjoy it.
People hate the white saviour elements in it and how the film is essentially a movie about racism made for white people to make them feel good about not being racist enough to use slurs or commit hate crimes
I hate this argument that if someone won an Oscar, giving the person another Oscar just a few years after is something bad, makes no sense to me. I mean, it's called Oscars, not charity...
Exactly....it's for the best performance...so it should go to the best performance no strings attached
Maybe look to the left sometimes?
