Betty Gilpin Demands Full UN Intervention Over Lindsay Lohan’s Lost Parent Trap Oscar
The actress believes the Academy is basically a crime syndicate for denying a ten-year-old double-identity mastermind her gold statue.

Betty Gilpin has finally said what we’ve all been whispering into our pillowcases during late-night Disney+ binges: the Oscars are a total scam. Betty isn't just a fan of The Parent Trap, she’s become the unofficial lobbyist for 1998 Lindsay Lohan, claiming the performance was so good it deserved a literal Academy Award. Honestly, we’re obsessed with this level of historical revisionism.
Betty seems to think that playing both a British girl in a bucket hat and a California girl with a penchant for Oreos was the peak of dramatic range. Forget Meryl Streep or Daniel Day-Lewis; if you aren’t piercing your own ears with a needle and a cork in a summer camp cabin, are you even acting? Gilpin’s passion for the flick is so intense we’re half-expecting her next project to be a gritty reboot where she plays both Hallie Parke and Annie James in a high-stakes corporate merger.
Now that Betty has opened this can of worms, we’re waiting for her to campaign for a Lifetime Achievement Award for Chessy the housekeeper. If the Academy doesn't retroactively hand over a trophy, Betty might just organize a heist of the Kodak Theatre. Grab your peanut butter and your blonde highlights, dolls, because the Gilpin Revolution is televised and it smells like 90s nostalgia.
