base talk The Most Shocking/Surprising Acting Oscar Snubs?

[GoodGuyGoneGhetto]

For Danielle Deadwyler to not be nominated was incredibly hurtful and outright embarrassing.

 

 

 

[suburbannature]

Tbh I thought she was a bit inconsistent in that performance but it was a bvery weird snub considering she made every precursor. And the Riseborough "grassroots" campaign was just plain stupid and borderline fraudulent.

 

 

[Just a Gay on ATRL]

Amy Adams not being nominated for Arrival was actually insane. Especially when if she'd been nominated, she should've WON over Emma Stone for La La Land.

 

Honorable recent memory mention is Toni Collette not being nominated for Hereditary.

I came to say Amy Adams for Arrival. Her acting is amazing in it.

[EnigmaticAndroid]

Was gonna say Danielle. Her performance was one for the books and the snub is comically egregious. I will forever maintain that one of the trifecta should've broken away and awarded her. She probably needed at least 1 big during the season to get in and Blanchette didn't need to sweep again.

Obviously biased, but GaGa getting snubbed for 🐖 was such a scream.  The fact that she was looking like the #1 frontrunner going in (only one in category to make every precursor, won a big highbrow prize, led the film to box office success during COVID) and missed for Cruz, who didn't make any precursor, was wild.  Happy for Penelope though. And there's the argument that her getting snubbed might actually be a good thing in the big picture so that's a silver lining. 

[Maroonx]

Saoirse Ronan not winning anything with Brooklyn 

I cried buckets with that movie x

 

 

 

[Into The Void]

JLo in Hustlers

[Hector]

10 off the top of my head:

 

Pam Grier - Jackie Brown

Uma Thurman - Kill Bill

Jake Gyllenhaal - Nightcrawler

Cher - Mask

Paul Giamatti - Sideways

Taron Egerton - Rocketman

Kate Winslet - Revolutionary Road

Jennifer Lopez - Hustlers

Bjork - Dancer In The Dark

Michelle Yeoh - Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

 

And any of the Parasite cast.

[JohnWayneHolland]

Gaga for HoG  

[StonedSoulPicnic]

Donald Sutherland - Ordinary People

 

He was excellent.

The fact that they frauded Timothy into Supporting (which probably knocked him out) is so irritating. I still think Tim would've gotten into Lead

Amy in Arrival  I just dont get it. She got nominated for worse role and then didnt get anything for the best performance of her entire career??? And Arrival is a box office success with like 10 other noms or something, not like it’s a forgotten small indie something or sth

[twink4harry]

M(other)ia Goth in Pearl 😪

[Johnny Jacobs]

Not the gaga comments 

 

The Russian accent was top noch it's true 

 

OT: Scarlett Johansson for Lost in Translation and Girl with the Pearl Earring 

[D/X]

Amy Adams for Arrival, easily. The 2017 Academy should serve 1 year in prison for this trespass.

 

And Andrew Garfield for The Social Network. Where to begin with this one...

[Punky Rooster]

Madonna in Evita comes to mind 

[theblondesalad]

Leonardo DiCaprio in Django Unchained

[Unreachable101]

Gaby not winning for precious

chloe Sevigny not winning for boys don’t Cry

 

rooting for Michelle Williams to win something in the near future.

ATRL were SWEATING that award season. They needed that snub. Even now you are getting down voted despite the fact the snub made more noise than the event IJBOL

At the time she made all the precursors and was the only woman in the BAFTA rar

what was funny is it was kirsten vs. gaga for us and the media and Gaga missed and kirsten got through on the skin of her teeh due to her SAG/BAFTA sn

[Trash]

Courtney Love in The People vs Larry Flynt

[prézli]

JLo

[jonapova]

Pam Grier and Amy Adams not even getting nominated are the biggest snubs of all time imo

She missed every precursor except the Globes and didn't hit a single critics group. It's giving random Globe moment that went nowhere. Aside from the Blockbuster Awards and MTV thingy. Both of which she lost. 

[John Slayne]

Toni Collette in Hereditary

Mia Goth in Pearl 

Lady Gaga in HoG 

 

i know y'all don't like Gaga but she was the only actress to hit every precursor that year so yeah that was definitely a snub, if we're being objective.
