The Ugly History of Oscar Smear Campaigns

Описание: With the articles coming out about Josh Safdie after his nomination for Best Director for Marty Supreme, today I'm looking at other cases throughout history of smear campaigns, controversies, narratives building, etc. that impacted various Oscars / Academy Award campaigns, including Karla Sofia Gascon with Emilia Perez, The Brutalist, Mikey Madison with Anora, Maestro with Bradley Cooper, Brendan Fraser with The Whale, Green Book, and more!

Also, during the Green Book segment, I got slightly confused because the movie is about "Tony Lip" Vallelonga, and it was co-written by his son Nick Vallelonga, so when I say "the same guy I guess?", it's cuz I saw the last names and assumed maybe the guy who Viggo plays also co-wrote the movie, but it was actually referring to his son, they are different people. Also also, sorry about the lighting making me and/or the green screen look goofy at points.
