The Academy Awards meme category encompasses a wide variety of formats, ranging from Leonardo DiCaprio's long-awaited win to the infamous 2022 stage confrontation. Most commonly, these memes use the iconic gold 'Oscar' statue or a red-carpet backdrop to sarcastically reward people for their everyday 'acting' skills, such as pretending to be okay or faking productivity. It is the ultimate template for highlighting over-the-top drama or acknowledging legendary feats—real or imagined—with a touch of cinematic prestige and humor.
