If the academy wants to give Beyoncé an award for performing a song, that’s their prerogative. If the academy would actually do something like that, shouldn't we question the integrity of the awards in general? Has anyone truly earned an Oscar solely for their artistic merit?

Fanta 5,019 Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 I'm not sure about calling her desperate, a lot of entertainers seek the Oscar. However, Beyonce is undeserving of the award. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
azul 2,099 Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 I'm sure she will perform it if even she doesn't win. She wants to be in good graces with the Academy for the future, just like Gaga wants to. I guess it must not be easy for Gaga to walk down the red carpet knowing that everybody will say she was supposed to be nominated. Must be frustrating to be the topic of conversation for that particular reason and yet, she is going to the Oscars to secure her future relationship with the Academy. Beyoncé needs to perform on the show. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, NOT their prerogative. The Academy can't "GIVE" anyone an award for performing a song, or a dance, for that matter. Oscar voting ends today, March 22. For one thing, NOBODY knows who wins what until the envelopes are opened. Are we suggesting the Academy is corrupt... and the accountants are complicit? 🤔 If they're that desperate they'd invite ADELE! Her CBS Special beat the Oscars by 1.3 million viewers last year, let's be real. It's unfair to Beyoncé or whoever wins Best Original Song to suggest that they are GIVEN an Oscar just for showing up. It's not the Teen Choice Awards! Like it or not, the Oscars is about the art of filmmaking, which is why Academy members voted for little-seen movies like The Power of the Dog, CODA, and Drive My Car, instead of blockbusters like Spider-Man: No Way Home, Shang-Chi and Black Widow! NOBODY cares about ratings but ABC, which reportedly pays the Academy an annual licensing fee of close to $100 million. Oscar producers are not Academy members. One way to boost ratings is to invite big names like Zoë Kravitz (Batman), Gaga, and Bey as presenters or performers. It's nothing new! 🙂 she/her/hers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thehanyo 4,251 Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Beyonce is squarely in third place in this race, she's not getting it, don't worry. It's between Miranda and the O'Connells. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The academy can do whatever it wants in that regard. It’s not even a secret how people can outright ‘pay’ for awards. 12 hours ago, Sunny21 said: Are we suggesting the Academy is corrupt... Um, yes. Is it not not obvious to you that it is? Celebrities have literally spoken about the terms they were expected to abide by in order to win. 12 hours ago, Sunny21 said: It's unfair to Beyoncé or whoever wins Best Original Song to suggest that they are GIVEN an Oscar just for showing up. This is what the original commenter implied and what I was refuting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

elijahfan 26,296 Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Also, not some of you confusing the Oscars with the Kids Choice Awards... As with anything voted, there's always a level of influence, or corruption if you want to call it that. But whoever runs the Oscars can't just hand out a competitive award like that. I mean, the fact Gaga was snubbed this year is a good indication of that: her not being present isn't good for their ratings. They still found a way to involve her, but her not getting a nod was kinda bad news for them. The fact they infamously got a lot of things wrong across the years goes out to show their producers have little control when it comes to nominations and results.

Dreammonster 178 Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Encanto is going to take the oscar for best original song. If it does i'll be happy because I don't want either Billie or Beyonce to get it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
