13 Most Ridiculous DCEU Controversies (So Far)

10. Suicide Squad Wins An Oscar

The Internet damn-near imploded earlier this year when Suicide Squad won an Oscar for Best Makeup & Hairstyling, beating out fellow nominees A Man Called Ove and Star Trek Beyond for the honour.

While on one hand this led to many wondering how a movie as poorly-received as Suicide Squad could win an Oscar, despite the fact that crafts Oscars have little bearing on a movie's narrative quality, many overzealous DC fans took the opportunity to rub Marvel's nose in it.

You see, not a single MCU movie has yet to win an Oscar, and with DCEU fans mostly being on the losing side of the franchise war so far, some more childish fans couldn't resist but gloat incessantly about the Academy Award win.

Whether or not Suicide Squad deserved the Oscar, both sides came out looking dumb: the film had excellent makeup regardless of how much you might think everything else sucked, and boastful DCEU fans were still 0-3 as far as critical reception was concerned (at the time).
