‘I love Suicide Squad!’: Our favourite unpopular Oscar wins of all time
Nothing brings together Oscar fans quite like complaining about the Oscars. The nature of the annual competition fuels entirely pointless animosity – who should have won, who got cruelly overlooked, and why Jamie Lee Curtis absolutely didn’t deserve her Academy Award last year. In some people’s opinion, anyway.
Sometimes, though, the most unpopular Oscar wins in history – the ones that tend to always crop up on “What were the voters smoking?” lists – have their fans. Some people to this day still really love CODA, the little-seen and not-very-good weepie that won Best Picture in 2022. I do not know those people. You probably don’t know them, either. But I have been promised that they exist.
Anyway, , otherwise known as the delivery’s culture desk has picked their favourite deeply unpopular wins from Academy Award history.
