Elon Musk has set the entertainment world on fire after releasing what he calls “undeniable proof” that Whoopi Goldberg and Oprah Winfrey used their financial power and connections to manipulate key categories at the 2025 Academy Awards.
In a series of posts that have gone viral, Musk shared documents, private correspondences, and insider testimonies alleging that Goldberg and Winfrey played a direct role in securing nominations for certain films and actors. According to Musk, this backroom deal-making undermines the integrity of the Oscars, turning it into a game of influence rather than merit.
The accusations have sparked a firestorm of debate. Some industry insiders claim that favoritism has always been an open secret in Hollywood, while others are calling for a formal investigation into Musk’s allegations. Social media users are divided, with some praising Musk for exposing corruption and others accusing him of launching an attack on powerful Black women in the industry.
Neither Whoopi Goldberg nor Oprah Winfrey has issued an official response, but sources close to them insist the claims are baseless and an attempt to create unnecessary controversy. Meanwhile, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is under mounting pressure to address the scandal before it further damages the credibility of the awards.
With tensions rising and the Oscars already facing criticism for past controversies, this latest revelation could be a turning point in how Hollywood handles award season politics. Will the Academy take action, or will these accusations be swept under the rug? The world is watching as the drama unfolds.
