An Oscar may be one of the most coveted achievements in film, but the recipients of the prestigious Academy Awards are hardly ever unanimously agreed upon, by the public or by the voters. Debates over who is most deserving of winning a category, or who was snubbed even from a nomination, are an ever present part of the discussion during award season. However, while it might seem that these contentious conversations have been more prevalent in recent years of the award ceremony, disagreements over the Oscars have been around since its very first inception. At the very first Academy Awards, held at the tail end of the Silent Film era in 1929, the Best Actor was awarded to Emil Jennings— except some people claim that he shouldn't have been the rightful recipient of the award.
