Nominations that you believe were 100% deserved despite the movie being absolute garbage.
For me, Norbit in Best Makeup. I LOVE that that's an Oscar-nominated film, I find it hysterical, but actually the makeup in that film is phenomenal and arguably even better than the makeup in Nutty Professor. Eddie Murphy's transformation into an Asian man is thoroughly convincing despite how unbelievably racist it probably is.

Edward Norton in Primal Fear. oh my god yes. What an awful film that was. Turned the Catholic church pedophile scandal into a silly procedural potboiler  But Norton is outstanding |

A Beautiful Mind is an awful film but Crowe deserves his nod and works hard at cross purposes with his performance which is far more honest vs. Howard's direction and the script.

Given enough posts I expect The Godfather to make an appearance here.  Transformers movies for special effects which really were amazing. |

Fifty Shades of Grey for Best Original Song ('Earned It') way better than the Bond song that won. |

Christian Bale and the makeup in Vice are excellent but I hate that movie.
