Plenty of undeserving crap wins every year. It was just hair and makeup, though, and it was only up against two other films, which seems to be the usual for that category. Still, I find it hard to believe it won. Warner Bros probably pulled out all the stops to blitz the voters. The Academy Awards just aren't what they used to be.

It's not a bad movie by any stretch of the imagination, I mean sure it tried to hard to be Guardians but at least it was more watchable than BVS

Still, I just don't see it as Oscar material at all...

Suicide Squad proves that the Oscars are nothing but political hand pandering.

Not to mention The Nice Guys, Hell or High Water, and Kubo were totally gyped.

I... I need a hug....
*shivers*

I can only assume Suicide Squad won out of sheer iconography (not that I'm at all suggesting the look of the film is "iconic", it's just the closest word I can think of). Star Trek was far far more deserving, but the Suicide Squad aesthetic is something that seems to have permeated pop culture - for better or for worse.

I dunno, it just feels more like a pity award than anything the film actually did to earn it.

Oh god
There's concept art of DCEU Scarecrow floating around apparently
He looks like a fucking goof

I'm just wondering how much money WB's gonna have to lose on these films before they realize the DCEU/Snyderverse is a lost cause.

But that's the problem
The movies still earn the money back

...My entire life is a lie.
