Toni Collette Fans Roast The Oscars for Mother's Day Hereditary Tweet

By Kofi Outlaw

Toni Collette fans are going off on The Oscars, over a Mother's Day tweet that was posted by The Academy's official Twitter account. The tweet in question was a set of still images taken from a scene Collette did in Ari Aster's cult-hit horror movie debut Hereditary (2018). However, the scene that was chosen for the image collage is a pretty dark one, in which Collette's character (a mother who's lost her daughter, due to her son's carelessness) finally breaks down and unleashes her grief and rage on her son in a major emotional explosion during dinner.  

The scene is, indeed, a major showcase of Toni Collette's talent and power as an actress – but, according to the flame-war of response The Academy is now getting – it may not have been the most tasteful choice for a Mother's Day post... 

What The Academy Did...

Here's the post by The Academy that set things off.

Oscars Voters Don't Run Twitter

The Academy has several different divisions like any organization. The ones who do the awards voting aren't necessarily the same ones that are out here running the social media accounts. Let's just be clear.

Horror fans aren't buying it. They want to see the gold statues.

This Is Annual

The Academy seems to keep eating off Toni Collette's Hereditary performance – without actually awarding the lady. Rude.
