There is almost always some sort of controversy around the Oscar nominations, whether it's a lack of diversity amongst the nominees or fans ranting online because a box office hit was snubbed. But, this year, there's a potential scandal the likes of which the Academy hasn't seen before. Andrea Riseborough was nominated for Best Actress for her role in To Leslie, a small independent film that most people hadn't heard of until A-list actors began posting about it on social media. In the drama, the British actor plays an alcoholic woman, who became ostracized by the rest of her small Texas town after winning the lottery and quickly blowing her winnings.
If Riseborough's nomination is revoked, it will be the first time an acting nomination has been taken back since the very first Oscars. But Academy Award nominations have been rescinded in other categories over the years.
PS - To Leslie was not actually revoked but needed it to make 10 movies - LOL
