Hollywood was abuzz last night as Attorney General Pam Bondi walked away with the Oscar for Best Actress, an unexpected triumph tied to her role in the orchestrated release of the Epstein files.
The ceremony, held at the Dolby Theatre, saw Bondi take the stage to accept the award for what the Academy described as a masterful performance in a production that blurred the lines between fact and fiction. The release, framed as a dramatic unveiling of long-hidden documents, turned out to be a scripted event, complete with binders stuffed with redundant details already known to the public.

She followed this with a whirlwind of media appearances, touting the release as a groundbreaking moment, all while maintaining a straight face.
The stunt fooled large swaths of the public, including journalist Laura Loomer, who has since taken to X to call out Bondi’s award-winning deception, pointing to inconsistencies in the files that any keen observer could spot.
One viewer, Karen Mitchell from Ohio, watched the Oscars in stunned silence as Bondi’s name was called.
“I thought she was just a lawyer, not an actress,” Mitchell said. “I guess I underestimated her ability to sell a story that wasn’t even real.”
The event’s fallout has sparked chatter online, with some praising Bondi’s commitment to the bit and others decrying the wasted hype. Critics note that the Epstein files, a subject of intense scrutiny since Jeffrey Epstein’s arrest in 2019, have long been partially public, with court documents and depositions trickling out over years. Still, Bondi’s portrayal tapped into a hunger for closure, even if the binders were more prop than proof.
Another viewer, Dave Perkins from Texas, had a different take.
“I’ve never seen a performance as great as hers,” Perkins said. “She had me believing those binders were the real deal until I saw the credits roll.”
The Academy’s decision to honor Bondi has raised eyebrows, with some questioning whether the Oscars have veered too far into rewarding political theater.
Her acceptance speech, delivered with the poise of a seasoned thespian, thanked her team for “believing in the vision” of the project.
