Fitzswiftie Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I can’t speak for anyone else but I absolutely detested how coverage of entertainment was resulted in the term “snub” being to go to phrase for omissions. Why? I genuinely can’t understand this, did it just because the easiest for SEO? Why is the Today asking Michelle about them? Why is Anthony Anderson discussing his own snubs on late night? Actual snubs happen once about every 10 years or, not when something that folks expected* * not even expected, wanted to happen. Why is Iron Claw suddenly snubbed for the Oscar’s despite not being actively campaigned, or nominated at any precursors? We may as well call M3GAN, The Flash and Sound of Freedom amongst the biggest snubbage of the day. Should look into the actual definition - — “intentional rebuff, ignoring, or spurning disdainfully.” An actual snub implies and involves actual malice behind the thinking, or intentional exclusion. And in the past 10 years I have followed awards, only two instances spring to mind. Jennifer Lopez in 2020 for Hustlers, where several academy members (incline 1959 nominee Terry Moore) stated she and her friends aren’t voting for her because she a talentless starlet who would tarnish their organisation’s reputation. Beyoncé at the Grammys, where members have gone on record about how she is talentless hack who can’t compose; uses genre manipulation to win; and relies on other people work instead. And despite themselves claiming she and the best album of the year, she’s already “got enough, we don’t need to see her win and again her ego doesn’t need any more trophies”. And in the case of Barbie, can you even call those director and actress omission “snubs”, Gerwig made a blockbuster which the directors branch (who votes on the awards) hates with a passion unless your going to win Best Picture (Titanic, Return of the King, Oppenheimer). Any one who follows awards for 2 minutes could see that coming a mile away. James Cameron and Joseph Kosinski all received the same precursors as Gerwig last year for their billion dollar films, where was the outrage for their snubs for saving the entertainment industry? Do the Oscar’s overlook the alleged good work in favour of alleged bad or mediocre, yes. But that’s snubbage. Having bad taste, or liking five other potential candidates more, or failing to perceive good work, that is collective mind hive gathering toward the mean, because that’s what happens when you ask 10,000 to vote, a consensus draws towards the middle.

Into The Void Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Its not that serious if we feel they did good work it feels like a snub. Do u have a better term? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Both Sides Now Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I agree with you. It’s somewhat like “industry plant” which has come to mean “label-supported artist” in pop circles. The original meaning has been lost. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devin Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 technology/social media allows the public to be more vocal and aware. in some cases (esp Grammys) snub artists in the most disrespectful ways. i see ur point tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dumbsparce Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Bc social media has given these airheaded snowflakes the false impression that their opinion is the only valid one. Any other opinion that doesn't align with theirs is automatically incorrect and has malicious intents. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miichael Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 It’s definitely become overused, especially as it usually suggests that one of the people nominated should have been snubbed instead. The only ones in recent memory that felt like a real snub was The Weeknd being totally shut out of the Grammy’s after having a huge era and being seen as a favourite to win, and arguably Gaga missing the Oscar nom after hitting every precursor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay07 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 The word snub creates emotion and gets more clicks. Barbie was a dumb comedy that doesn't deserve any awards at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
