Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor losing sleep over Oscar 2023, fears for Cate Blanchett's loss

Before the Oscars on March 12, actor Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor expressed concern over the nominations for "best actress" and stated he was "having nightmares" about Cate Blanchett possibly losing to Michelle Yeoh due to a "PR campaign."

The Bhavesh Joshi-fame actor was referencing the performances of Michelle Yeoh in "Everything, Everywhere, All At Once" and Cate Blanchett in ‘Tár,’ both of which are regarded as front-runners for the best actress title at the Oscars 2023.


With Michelle's victory at the just-concluded Screen Actors Guild Awards, many believe she will defeat Cate on March 12. With her victory, Michelle would become the first Asian performer to receive the Best Actress in a Leading Role Oscar.



Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor’s tweet went viral, with a variety of Twitter users responding to it, and many netizens criticise him for favouring one performance over another. Nevertheless, the actor then addressed some of the criticisms of his tweet.

As one user accused him of being biassed against Michelle Yeoh, stating that her performance was deserving of recognition, Kapoor countered by saying that Yeoh was attempting to gain an advantage by using diversity as a reason for her win, rather than the merit of her performance.

This discussion was part of a bigger debate since Yeoh had posted an Instagram post criticising Hollywood's institutional racism and suggesting that Cate Blanchett's nomination was unfair. Even though Yeoh removed her post after receiving negative feedback, many netizens said that she had broken a regulation of the Academy that forbids mentioning certain nominees by name or position in a post.
Meanwhile, Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor has also deleted his tweet.
