notified about our latest videos for
this list we’re looking at the most
controversial award winners from a wide
variety of fields and awards including
the Oscars Emmys Grammys and even Nobel
Peace Prizes these are awards that many
people see is undeserving either from a
political or artistic standpoint for the
record we’re not arguing either for or
against these controversies we’re just
relaying the facts number 10 shape of
you wins Best Pop solo performance the
60th annual Grammy Awards and the Grammy
goes to shape with you Ed Sheeran
ed Sheeran often seems to be America’s
Sweetheart but he was public enemy
number one after winning the 2018 Grammy
for Best Pop solo performance Sheeran
was nominated alongside Kelly Clarkson
Ke$ha Lady gaga
and pink and many people felt that his
win was undeserved particularly in the
midst of the me2 campaign although song
content shouldn’t be a factor in a
performance category it inevitably was
for some in this instance Sheeran song
about the curves of a woman’s body
simply did not compare to Gaga’s million
reasons or Kesha’s praying which was
inspired by her sexual abuse and
suicidal thoughts the announcement was
booed as many saw the win as unwarranted
and downright insulting and Sheeran
could not be here tonight so we accept
this on his behalf
number 9 Al Gore wins the Nobel Peace
Prize the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize Al Gore
has for a long time with one of the
world’s leading environmentalist
politicians it’s ironic that the Nobel
Peace Prize often causes unrest Barack
Obama’s win in 2009 caused its fair
share of controversy but perhaps no win
has been more contentious than that of
Al Gore Al Gore and the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change won the prestigious award in 2007
for their contributions in spreading
awareness on the threat of global
warming however many people criticize
the win on political grounds with some
pointing out that the recipients did
nothing to actively end a conflict and
promote peace other arguments against
Gore stemmed from his house using much
more electricity than the average home
and the UK High Court finding scientific
errors within an inconvenient truth now
that’s the traditional explanation
here’s a what I think is a better
explanation
number 8 Steely Dan wins album of the
year the 43rd annual Grammy Awards and
the Grammy goes to 2 against nature
Steely Dan
while the Grammy Awards are typically
seen as a popularity contest rather than
a prestigious ceremony the fact that
Steely Dan won Album of the year in 2001
is mystifying to many 2000 was a
fantastic year for music Eminem was
stirring up controversy and topping
charts with the Marshall Mathers LP and
Radiohead was basically redefining music
with their stellar album kitteh either
of those two modern masterpieces were
Xuan’s for album of the year which is
why so many people were left outraged
when Steely Dan took the award for two
against nature it left a lot of music
fans upset and all that ruined the
reputation of the Grammys thank you very
much appreciate it
number 7 Shakespeare in Love Wins Best
Picture the 71st Academy Awards the
Academy gets it wrong sometimes while
Shakespeare in Love is undeniably a
great film many people felt that Saving
Private Ryan was sure to take home the
Best Picture trophy this seemed even
more plausible when Steven Spielberg won
the award for Best Director which is
usually indicative of an impending Best
Picture win so some were upset although
not surprised when the Oscar Beatty
Shakespeare in Love won instead many
felt that the heavy campaigning by
Miramax’s Harvey Weinstein resulted in
its perhaps undeserved win it’s now seen
as one of the biggest Best Picture
upsets in Academy history
I love the writer and gave up the prize
number six McLemore wins best rap album
the 56th Annual Grammy Awards
if Steely Dan’s win was the straw that
broke the Grammys back this upset buried
its reputation in the ground the 56th
Grammys Best Rap Album category was
absolutely stacked it featured some
great albums like Drake’s nothing was
the same hand Kanye West’s yeezus but
the fan favorite was undeniably Kendrick
Lamar’s modern masterpiece good kid maad
city however the award bafflingly went
to radio favorites Macklemore and Ryan
Lewis instead even McLemore knew that
the award was undeserved as he texted
Kendrick saying quote you got robbed I
wanted you to win you should have it’s
weird and it sucks that I robbed you
number five Marisa Tomei wins Best
Supporting Actress the 65th Academy
Awards Chico and hunting a lot of people
love Marissa Tomei but even some fans
think that her Oscar win from my cousin
Vinnie was perhaps undeserved at the
65th Academy Awards ptomaine was up
against many notable actresses including
Judy Davis Vanessa Redgrave and miranda
Richardson many people believe that
Tomei had no chance after all she was up
against acting Titans
and besides my cousin Vinnie was a
comedy azshara largely ignored by the
Academy I never get married people were
left so shocked at toe maids win that a
conspiracy theory was started claiming
that the only reason she won was because
the presenter read the wrong name that
conspiracy theory haunted Tomei for
decades nobody could answer that
question number 4
crash wins Best Picture the 78th Academy
Awards ma’am are you hurt
while the Shakespeare and loves Saving
Private Ryan debacle is infamous it has
nothing on the crash Brokeback Mountain
upset of 2006 many people thought that
Brokeback Mountain was the movie to beat
as it had swept the preceding awards
season even presenter Jack Nicholson was
visibly stunned when crash was announced
as the Best Picture winner so
it was immediately called the biggest
upset in Oscar history and some people
blamed the conservative members of the
Academy for choosing the comparatively
safer option a 2015 poll of a portion of
voters later crowned Brokeback Mountain
the winner the movies writer and
director Paul Haggis has openly admitted
his belief that crash was undeserving of
the wind embarrass you embarrass
yourself number three
Adele wins album of the year the 59th
annual Grammy Awards 25 adele is
practically untouchable but a lot of
people were left upset when she won over
Beyonce at the 2017 Grammy Awards the
album of the Year category contained
Sturgill Simpson Drake Justin Bieber
Adele and fan favorite Beyonce whose
lemonade was one of 2017 s biggest pop
culture releases it was Metacritic
second highest ranking album of the year
and it won a prestigious Peabody Award
in the entertainment category when Adele
won 425 she stated that she couldn’t
accept the award and spent a majority of
her acceptance speech praising Beyonce
and lemonade chalk it up to just another
egregious Grammys upset my artist of my
life is beyond saying this album to me
the lemonade album was just so
monumental Beyonce
number two Casey Affleck wins Best Actor
the 89th Academy Awards are use in a
wide break from tradition this Best
Actor win isn’t controversial because
people think it should have gone to
someone else but because of Affleck’s
past in personal life Casey Affleck won
the prestigious Oscar in 2017 for his
stellar performance in Manchester by the
sea but many people felt it was
undeserved due to allegations by
co-workers of sexual physical and verbal
abuse in 2010 presenter brie Larson even
refused to clap when Affleck won the
award stating that her intentions were
obvious the topic grew even more
controversial following the me2 campaign
and Affleck pulled out of presenting the
best actress award at the 2018 Oscars
due to the fervent backlash Oh before we
unveil our number one pick here are some
honorable or in this case dishonorable
mentions seriously that hell’s wrong

the 75th Academy Awards Polanski won the
award for Best Director in 2003 for his
work on the admittedly fantastic The

however Polanski couldn’t come to the US
to accept the award due to long-standing
charges of unlawful sexual intercourse
with a 13-year old girl in the late 70s

prison so he fled to France and was
protected from extradition however many
figures in Hollywood defended Polanski

Hollywood history and it has been a
major target of the me2 campaign most
