Kasatkina's commentary has sparked discussions among her followers, with some agreeing with her views and others expressing differing opinions.

Kasatkina's support for Emma Stone, who won Best Actress for her performance in "Poor Things," was met with enthusiasm.

Kasatkina questioned the film's acclaim, prompting mixed reactions from her followers.

One comment that drew Kasatkina's ire was a suggestion that she should "stick with tennis." She responded by questioning why her interest in other areas should be limited by her profession.

Other members of the tennis community also shared their thoughts on the Oscars. Former doubles world No. 1 Rennae Stubbs and eight-time Grand Slam singles champion Chris Evert debated the Best Actor award, with Evert supporting Bradley Cooper for his performance in "Maestro" and Stubbs praising Cillian Murphy's performance in "Oppenheimer."
