Academy Voter Admits to Voting Without Watching Frankenstein

0:00On this March 6, here's what's making entertainment headlines. Voting for the Academy Awards wrapped up this week, but a big controversy is already brewing. An anonymous voter from the documentary branch confessed they ranked Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein, last among best picture contenders simply, because they had not watched it. This voter admitted to running short on time and checking a box to say they had seen the film anyway, just to back their other favorites. The Academy introduced a strict new rule last year, requiring members to view every nominee in a category before casting final round ballots. Experts say it is tough for the Academy to check every single one of its voters, especially with close raises expected this year. The award ceremony is set for March 15, 2026, and this slip-up could spark more debate if others come forward. Quick thanks to today's sponsor. See the description for more.
