Bradley Cooper has lost out on Oscars too many times despite his amazing acting abilities. However, fans are amused at the recognition he gets at the Grammys, winning his third award this year. He won in the category of Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media for his filmMaestro.
Oscars last year was the latest snub for Cooper and he was severely trolled throughout the awards season. Cooper campaigned for his filmMaestro, which took six years to film but failed to make a significant impact at the Oscars. Fans even accused him of being jealous of last year’s Best Actor winner Cillian Murphy.
Fans are amused that Bradley Cooper gets Grammy recognition but not the Oscars
One of the surprises of the Grammys Award 2025 was the win for actor-directorBradley Cooperfor his filmMaestro. He won the award for the soundtrack of the film. It is his third Grammy win, following the wins for his songShallowand the soundtrack ofA Star is Born. This win is extra special for Cooper, who had a disappointing run at the awards circuit last year.

Despite seven Academy Award nominations including three nods for Cooper,Maestrodid not win any awards. He has missed out on the awards twelve times, with a whopping four-time loss in the Best Actor category and five times in the Best Picture category. Interestingly, he wasn’t even nominated for Best Director for eitherA Star Is BornorMaestro.
Fans are amused at how the actor continuously gets overlooked by the Academy but receives surprising awards at the Grammys. One fan jokingly mentioned that the Grammys could be his backup plan. Others joked that he should pivot to music so that he can accidentally win the Oscars. Some of the fan reactions read:
funny how he wants an Oscar so badly and he keeps trying but they keep giving him Grammys insteadhttps://t.co/HlnJWAz2tK
Guess the Grammys are his backup plan
Watch him pivot to music and then accidentally win an oscar
He deserved an Oscar for a star is born
It’s like he’s incorrectly succeeding
It wasn’t just the Oscars that ignored him for his hard work onMaestro. He was nominated for multiple awards at the Golden Globes, Critics Choice Awards, and SAG Awards, but did not win in a single category. Unfortunately, Cooper’s efforts were so big thatthe snubs probably hurt him the worst.
Cooper played legendary conductor Leonard Bernstein in the film. In an attempt to showcase Bernstein’s musical genius of conducting the London Symphony Orchestra in 1976, Cooper decided to film the conducting scene live. He shared with Lin-Manuel Miranda about the scene,“I spent six years learning how to conduct six minutes and 21 seconds of music”(via IndieWire).
