Read our privacy policy Viewers were left bemused after seeing which “bizarre” scene from Promising Young Woman the Oscars organisers chose to showcase the film. “Yes NOMADLAND won Best Picture but I can’t stop thinking about them playing the spit scene from Promising Young Woman,” added another person. A third user said: “They had to show the Promising Young Woman spit scene in its entirety.” In a play on the title of the 1978 revenge thriller I Spit on Your Grave, someone else wrote: “PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN, or I SPIT ON YOUR COFFEE: the most daring, envelope-pushing film of 2014.” “Congratulations to Nomadland. But nothing beats the plot twist when they show a scene from Promising Young Woman and the scene was… Wait for it… THE SPIT SCENE.” Watch Apple TV+ free for 7 days New subscribers only.
