Reply to comment by [deleted] in Michelle Yeoh winning the Academy Award for Best Actress would be such a unifying and positive event but I'm scared the Oscars will disappoint on that department. by [deleted]

That is true though to be fair. Career Oscar’s are a well established thing. Pretty much every year at least one of the acting awards doesn’t go to the best performance of the category.

I mostly agree with what you’re saying, and with the bit about Scorsese, but at this point we can look at the nominees and and know what the best performance is.

Yeoh is great in EEAAO, but Blanchett is better in Tár, which I think most people who have seen both would agree with. Yeoh winning this year would very much be a career Oscar and not truly reflective of the best performance.
