A viral tweet has sparked speculation that The Weeknd might be to blame for Selena Gomez’s exclusion from the Oscar nominations, particularly after her film Emilia Perez received several nominations.
The tweet suggests that The Weeknd, who joined the Academy board last year, could have influenced the omission, with some fans suggesting his involvement in the decision.
One tweet humorously dismissed the theory, saying, “Nah, it’s just that Emilia Perez is horrible.” The tweet quickly gained traction, with fans joking about the possibility that The Weeknd’s vote might have played a role in Selena’s snub.
Some users even referenced The Weeknd’s emotional song “Call Out My Name,” humorously alluding to his rumored lingering feelings for Selena.
While the conspiracy theory gained attention, not everyone took it seriously. Many pointed out the absurdity of blaming The Weeknd for the Oscar nominations, with one tweet sarcastically saying, “Yes, because out of all the thousands of voters in the Academy, his vote is the best one.”
Despite the online drama, it seems that both Selena Gomez and The Weeknd have moved on from their brief romance.
While The Weeknd has ventured into acting and is now a member of the Academy, Selena continues to focus on her music and acting career.
The speculation, however, has led to some amusing reactions from fans online, turning the situation into comedic gold.
