    So, that's a wrap on the 96th Academy Awards. While the general public seemed pretty happy with the outcome, there's always something that annoys people. Let's take a look at what people are complaining about this year.

    HBO

    First of all, people were NOT happy with Killers of the Flower Moon going home empty handed.

    Killers of the Flower Moon will join the legion of films such as 12 Angry Men, Shawshank Redemption, Seven Samurai, Singin in the Rain, and more that have never won oscars but are a seminal part of cinematic history. Lily you will win an oscar one day as you are one of the best.

    Specifically, it was the decision to not award Lily Gladstone the Best Actress Oscar that seemed to irk people.

    It’s incredible the emotional range Lily Gladstone was able to communicate with just her eyes. She didn’t win an Oscar but her work in Killers of the Flower Moon is one for the history books pic.twitter.com/L0hYhKEsyF

    Some fans saw Killers of the Flower Moon's lack of success as part of a trend against Martin Scorsese, and they were quick to point it out.

    The hatred that the Academy has for Marty Scorsese and his movies is truly something to behold it's actually ridiculous the lengths they go to in disrespecting one of our greatest living filmmakers and his art

    I think a lot of people in the academy straight up don’t fuck with Scorsese

    Viewers were also not happy with the 'In Memoriam' section, with the distracting camera angles and barely readable names at the end.

    The Oscars continuing to find new ways to butcher the In Memoriam section.....no one has ever been more committed to a bit

    the direction of this In Memoriam is shocking. the entire image should be the people who’ve died, not the dancers and the stage. you can barely see most of the names. an astronomical failure in presentation

    Jimmy Kimmel's hosting also split opinion. While his live-reaction to Trump's review seemed to go down a treat, other's weren't pleased with his bits about Robert Downey Jr. and Poor Things.

    Just really gross jokes from Kimmel. Downey even tried riffing past it but Kimmel just doubles down https://t.co/oY4bXZ1NWw
