Hollywood’s Latest Drama: Meghan Markle’s Oscar Ambitions Spark Controversy

Buckle up, everyone!

We're diving into the latest Hollywood saga that's got tongues wagging and eyebrows raised.

, yes, that Meghan, is reportedly on a mission to snag a supporting actress Oscar.

But this isn't just any ordinary quest; it comes after she faced a double whammy from the fabulous Jennifer Coolidge, who has been cleaning up at award shows left and right.

Jennifer Coolidge, the embodiment of quirky charm, recently took home an Emmy for her unforgettable performance in HBO's hit series, The White Lotus.

She didn't stop there, either.

Coolidge also clinched the same award in 2023 for the show's inaugural season.

Known for her vibrant portrayal of the eccentric Tanya McCoy, she returned for the Sicilian-themed second season, where she accepted her award with her signature humor.

In a memorable moment, she even had to set down the hefty trophy, joking about its weight.

Not to mention, her heartfelt shout-out to director Mark White and producer David Bernard, along with a nod to “all the evil gays,” referencing a now-iconic episode that became a meme sensation.

Now, here's where things take a twist.

A source close to Coolidge's assistant has dropped some jaw-dropping tea.

Apparently, has been attempting to secure herself an outstanding supporting actress award.

Yes, you heard that right!

She reportedly submitted a list of films where she played supporting roles, but let's be honest—her acting chops might not hold up to scrutiny.

Many would argue that her most notable role was in Suits, and since then, her on-screen presence has been rather underwhelming.

When comparing Markle's performances to Coolidge's award-winning roles, it's like pitting a FedEx envelope against a sleek Ferrari.

The disparity is hard to ignore.

After being overlooked by the Emmys, it seems Markle is now setting her sights on the Oscars, and rumors are swirling that she might be trying to bribe Dame Caroline McCall, an ITV director.

With ITV holding the rights to the Oscars, could this be her golden ticket to the big stage?

For those with a short memory, let's rewind to the infamous showdown between Markle and Piers Morgan following her tell-all interview with Oprah.

Markle confronted Morgan, demanding he either apologize or resign—he chose the latter, leaving quite the mark on their public feud.

It's worth noting that Dame Caroline McCall isn't a stranger to navigating tricky waters herself.

However, let's take a step back and assess the situation.

The thought of Meghan Markle making an appearance at the Oscars is almost comical.

What exactly would her role be?

Accepting an Oscar?

Presenting one?

The reality is that Sky News has already opted out of broadcasting the Oscars, which raises the question of how she plans to make her mark.
