Zendaya at centre of 'category fraud' debate after talk of Oscar nomination


Zendaya has found herself at the centre of a heated debate on social media over suggestions she could be nominated for a Best Actress Oscar for her role in Challengers

The film, which grossed $94.2 million globally, centres on a heated love triangle involving tennis stars Tashi Duncan (played by Zendaya), Art Donaldson (Mike Faist), and Patrick Zweig (Josh O'Connor). Variety has named her as a likely candidate for the 2025 Academy Awards, while a tweet from Film Updates indicated that Zendaya is being considered for Lead Actress, with her co-stars in the Supporting Actor slots.
