Oscars 2022: 10 Fan Favourite Category Nominees Ranked From Least To Most Likely To Win

10. Minamata

Adapted from American photojournalist Eugene Smith's book, this Johnny Depp film about journalism, government negligence and the devastating impact of mercury poisoning on the Japanese coastal city of Minamata feels like prime Oscarbait. The flick was criticised for telling the story from a White Western perspective, though some reviews praised Depp's performance as a "return to form" and it's his involvement that has seen Minamata appear on the Fan Favorite list.

During the torturous legal proceedings that followed the breakdown of his marriage to Amber Heard, Depp has been supported by his loyal fans whom he calls "warriors" and "soldiers". They've shown their appreciation for the beleaguered actor by nominating him for the Oscar's Fan Favorite category alongside the hashtag #JusticeForJohnnyDepp. However, the tribal nature of Twitter means that Minamata is the least likely film to win.

For his many fans, there are also people on Twitter who believe that Depp should be barred from film work due to domestic abuse allegations.
