Well exactly, giving it to the runner up is a bit ... questionable ... because that person is left like "Oh yeah I have an oscar but people didn't
actually think it was the best performance". And giving it to no one essentially is just admitting that Will Smith did win it... so it's a "yeah we thought your performance was best and you won BUT you don't get the little statue!!"
A bit pointless really. The "flattery" is still there, he still knows it was voted as the winning performance, which is what it's all about really. The actual trophy is incidental.
