Carol was robbed. Obviously mostly at the nominations stage, but whatevers.
I agree that the problem was mostly at the nominations stage, but as for the awards for which it
was nominated:
Personally I was the most upset about it losing adapted screenplay to what somebody on tumblr described as 'the Kidz Bop version of
The Wolf of Wall Street', but one of Carter Burwell's best scores losing to one of Ennio Morricone's least good (and one which was used for an awful movie, and I say that as somebody who generally likes Tarantino a lot) was also bullsh**t. A valid argument can be made that Brie Larson deserved best actress more than Cate Blanchett. I didn't see
The Danish Girl so I can't make any judgment on that one, except that characterizing Rooney Mara's role as 'supporting' was in the first place ridiculous, as the Golden Globes understood (Sarah Paulson, I think, would have been worth considering in that category). Costume design is an understandable loss, cinematography less so (although I won't complain about an Oscar
not going to somebody who co-directed a Larry Clark child-porn-in-all-but-name-fest).
