00:00The time I think the Oscars got it wrong is in 2011 when The King's speech beat Inception
00:09at Best Picture.
00:10The time I think the Oscars got it wrong, I mean definitely how Toni Collette did not
00:15get nominated for Hereditary is a huge mystery to me.
00:20Inception was my favorite.
00:22It was the first year I had watched the Oscars.
00:25I actually threw my pillow at the TV screen.
00:28The time I think Oscars got it wrong was in 2018 when The Shape of Water won Best Picture
00:33over Get Out.
00:34I think in general, like let's honor some horror films, Oscars.
00:38Horror films don't often get love at the Oscars, so it would have been great for Get Out to
00:42win Best Picture.
00:43The time I think the Oscars got it wrong is when Amy Adams was not nominated for Arrival.
00:48I mean she has been nominated six times, so the Academy clearly recognizes her plenty.
00:53The fact that she hasn't won is a whole other thing.
00:55But that makes it all the crazier that that's the one time that she did not get nominated.
00:59The time I think the Oscars got it wrong was the 1999 Best Actor race.
01:04You had Tom Hanks for Saving Private Ryan, Nick Nolte for Affliction, you had Ian McKellen
01:11for Gods and Monsters, you had Ed Norton for American History X, and Roberto Freaking Benigni
01:17won for Life is Beautiful.
01:19The time I think the Oscars got it wrong was in 2015 when Eddie Redmayne won for The Theory
01:25of Everything for Best Actor over Michael Keaton in Birdman.
01:29Michael Keaton should be an Oscar winner.
01:32That movie was so clever and meta and different and like left an impact.
01:36I don't remember The Theory of Everything, I think it was fine, but I think Michael Keaton
01:40was robbed.
01:41I think every time that Denzel was nominated and didn't win, the Oscars got it wrong.
01:46There was a wonderful film called The Swan Song starring Mahershala Ali and Naomi Harris,
01:53and it got no love whatsoever.
01:55The Oscars just ignored it altogether.
01:58Such a miss.
01:59The time that the Oscars got it wrong was not nominating Paris is Burning for Best Documentary
02:04Feature, the seminal documentary on ballroom culture and voguing and gay culture and ballroom
02:12and life in New York in the 90s.
02:15I have one other major beef that I can't believe that a Best Picture nomination can happen
02:21without the director getting nominated.
02:24How does that make sense?
02:25Just the semantic shift of the word inception, like it's part of our lexicon now.
02:32Oh, like that's inception or it's blank-ception.
02:35Also, give Glenn Close an Oscar already.
02:38People are still talking about that last scene, so I think the Oscars got it wrong there.
02:43Come on, Oscars!
