I wonder too. Oscar's are not easy to win. A nomination in itself is a huge success. People like Oprah have never won any. Even great actors like Danny Glover have never been nominated leave alone winning.
There is also lots of politics in it. A guy like Denzel didn't win any till he acted a bad guy in Training Day.
Guys always say Denzel should have won an Oscar much earlier for performances like The Hurricane.
Personally I hated Denzel in Training Day, hence felt he fully deserved the award. However, guys felt the academy felt pressured to award Denzel since it's rare that one wins a Best Actor Oscar for an Action film. Same thing was said about Halle Berry for her perfromance in Monster's Ball - that black actors could only win when portraying socially detestable roles. "Coincidentally" they both won the same year.
Congratulations to Lupita for her Oscar nomination, deserved or not, she's already a winner
