Ti West is still proudly banging the "Oscar for Mia Goth" drum
“In my opinion she deserved [an Oscar], but at the same time, I don’t feel that it takes anything away from what she did,” the Pearl director says

Let Ti West be the first to say it: Please, Mia Goth is a STARRRR! Although the 2023 Oscars are already fading into the rearview mirror, West is still standing strong in his belief that Goth deserved a Best Actress nomination for her work in his Scorsese-approved stylized horror romp Pearl. (Of course, Michelle Yeoh ultimately clinched the award this year for Everything Everywhere All At Once)
In a new interview with The Independent, West further opines that his muse deserved a little bit more recognition for her work as the axe-wielding, stardom-starved Pearl—perhaps in the form of a certain prestigious gold statuette.
