The Oscars new ‘Cheer-worthy moments’ was immediately turned into a meme

The 2022 Oscars debuted the audience voted category of “Cheer-worthy moments,” and the winners were so random that they’ve already become a meme.

This year, the 94th annual Academy Awards included two viewer-voted categories: Cheer-worthy moments and Fan favorite movie of 2021. Viewers voted on these categories on the Oscars website ahead of the event and the winners of Cheer-worthy moments make a solid case against free and open democracy.

The winners were as follows:

1. The Flash enters the speed force, Zack Synder’s Justice League

2. The three spider-men team up, Spider-Man: No Way Home

3. “Avengers, assemble,” Avengers: Endgame

4. “And I am telling you I’m not going,” Dreamgirls

5. Bullet time, The Matrix

The introduction of this category and the winners were met with bewilderment. The reveal of the Flash entering the speed force as the most cheer-worthy movie moment left people a little confused to say the least. To the Academy: This is not how you stay relevant.
