#I’m all for supporting the arts and recognising talent but the Oscars are pointless

[celestialvoid-fanfiction]

Everyone’s talking about Ryan Gosling’s Oscar nomination for ‘I’m Just Ken’ while Margot Robbie, Greta Gerwig, America Ferrera, and Billie Eilish got no nominations or mentions for their contributions, but I lost any and all respect for the Academy in 2017 when they gave the Oscar for Best Makeup and Hairstyling to Suicide Squad for a CGI/digitally rendered anthropomorphised crocodile and a girl with fake tattoos and split-dyed pony tails

over the extensive work that went into the makeup design and styling in Star Trek: Beyond. Hair and Makeup for Star Trek: Beyond did an incredible job creating alien looks and bringing them to life. Many of the alien looks had different stages/versions to show a human becoming alien and one was even mechanised to conceal something on the back of a crew member’s head because they wanted to use as little CGI as possible.

Seven years later, the Academy continues to disappoint.
