From 11 nominations Joker won two Oscars at this year's ceremony. From the moment Joker came out in theaters we knew it was something special. Despite the way SNL laughed about the nominated movies being white male rage, as a not American woman I tell you that this movie just connected with people, all people. We all felt that this is a movie just hit a soft point.
But, no doubt that the best part of the movie was Joaquin Phoenix's performance. He was phenomenal and totally deserved the win. However, the Oscar's recently have a record of hating big movies as of late. I mean Avengers: Endgame is the only movie ever to hold the title of the highest grossing movie of all times and have zero Oscar wins and just one nomination. I didn't think that Joker or Phoenix had a real chance. But I was wrong, after the nominations for Logan and Black Panther the Oscar was ready for Joker. No one can take the accomplishment of 11 nominations from the movie.
But yeah, I was just to mention that the movie took home two awards. It also won for Original Score. Since people were so angry that no woman was nominated for a major award outside of acting, they might want to check that Hildur Guðnadóttir is a woman who won Original Score for the Joker after no woman has won this category for over 20 years and she is only the fourth woman to even win in this category. She also composed the amazing score for Chernobyl, just so you know.
I think the movie should have also won best adapted screenplay, but you take what you can get and this movie got the recognition it deserved. While also saying nothing at all about the DCEU.
It is also hard to ignore that this is the only comic book character that has not one, but two awards as Heath Ledger won an Oscar for best supporting actor for playing the joker in Dark Knight. This just helps the role of the joker become so much more desirable.
