The Oscars 2019 will be remembered for a lot more than just a hostless event that ran smoothly nonetheless. It will also be remembered as the Academy Award that favored diversity with about 7 awards going to African Americans – a good way to commemorate the Black History month. What we witnessed from the event are surprises, winners and losers.
‘Green Book’ Won Best Picture – Biggest Controversy of the Oscars 2019
We see why many do not think ‘Green Book’ deserved the best picture award. The white savior presentation was sort of a cliche and written from the drivers perspective.
But if we look past the weaknesses of the film, it also has a lot of heart. As Peter Farrelly noted during his speech, it is about love. So white savior or not, we appreciate the message of love and the tribute to Don Shirley. Thanks to ‘Green Book’, the genius musician, composer, and pianist is now known to the world.
Black Panther – Should it Have Won Best Picture Instead?
The Marvel superhero movie conquered box offices in 2018. Many people were also hoping for it to win the Best Picture award. They were all disappointed when ‘Green Book’ was announced instead.

He will be teased for this one for a very long time. However, Malek’s speech is one of the best and will not be forgotten anytime soon.
“I am the son of immigrants from Egypt. I am a first generation American, and part of my story is being written right now and I could not be more grateful…”
The Lady Gaga/Bradley Cooper Chemistry
Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper stole the headlines with their intimate performance of the song ‘Shallow’. A lot of people are misreading the chemistry. It is really just ‘Shallow’. They only needed it to light up their performance. They obviously prepared themselves for the performance during rehearsals, and it is all an act.
