To me this is very reminiscent of the Chadwick Boseman v Anthony Hopkins race a few years ago, albeit under very different circumstances. Cate Blanchett should win and she will win. But that doesn’t mean Michelle Yeoh didn’t give an amazing performance.
I think your argument for unification being the sole reason she should win would really damage the little integrity the academy and these awards have left. MY deserves to be recognized for her brilliant work in that movie and she deserves to serve as an example of positive representation for a few different underrepresented demographics, but she is also imo a clear runner-up in this years race.
Side note, the academy loves a biopic and while i know Tàr is not, it is essentially the same idea.

Reply to 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]
