Avengers:Endgame snagged the Best Action Movie trophy at the coveted ceremony, beating out 1917, John Wick 3, Ford v Ferrari and Spider-Man: Far From Home. While the win may have seemed well deserved to some, there is a particular group on Twitter who isn't so thrilled.
Fans of the John Wick franchise took to social media to criticise the choice of winner, with many pointing out that even 1917 would've been a better choice, reported Comicbook.

Some thought that Avengers: Endgame barely even qualified as an action movie.

One person was really surprised that Avengers won in the same year John Wick 3 was released.
Avengers: Endgame winning best Action movie is hilarious when John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum came out the same year.

Some even likened the critics' choice to 'clownery'.
Wait a minute.

John Wick was one of the nominees!? For best action movie!?
And it lost to Endgame, of all movies?!
Clowns clowning everywhere.
To some, it seemed like a simple choice gone wrong.
WHat? Avengers endgame????

Well, what's done is done, and we can only hope John Wick 4 manages to escape the snubs when it comes out next year.
