2015 Oscar Snubs

by IMDb-Editors created 1 week ago | last updated - 1 week ago

These are the first snubs that came to mind as the 2015 Oscar nominees were announced.

1/9

“ We're trying to recall a situation where an omission from the Best Animated Feature Film category caused a bigger uproar, proving that parents loved The Lego Movie maybe even a bit more than their kids. ”

Titles: The Lego Movie (2014)

2/9

“ Selma earns a Best Picture nomination but director Ava DuVernay doesn't? Extra frustrating is seeing David Oyelowo overlooked for a Best Actor nomination for his portrayal over Martin Luther King, Jr. in the movie. Further confusing the matter for many, and causing people to cry foul in the diversity department, was seeing Bennett Miller nominated for Best Director -- a slot that could have been DuVernay's -- though Miller's Foxcatcher was blanked in the Best Picture category. ”

3/9

“ Some people had Jake Gyllenhaal winning his first Best Actor Oscar this year -- a prediction that was as extreme as Gyllenhaal's weight loss in order to play Lou Bloom in Nightcrawler -- so it was a big surprise to see his name missing from the Best Actor roster. Polite sister Maggie will probably hide her new Golden Globe for a while when her brother visits. ”

Titles: Nightcrawler (2014)

4/9

“ The Academy must really want low TV ratings this year. Though Intersellar earned five nominations, two were in the Sound categories -- the one aspect of the film that created the most public debate -- and the movie was shut out of both the Best Picture and Best Director categories. ”

People: Matthew McConaughey

Titles: Interstellar (2014)

5/9

“ We're ecstatic for Rosamund Pike and her deserved Best Actress nomination, but no other nominations for Gone Girl? More like a shock than a snub. The movie was so good you could almost even root for Tyler Perry in the Best Supporting Actor category. ”

Titles: Gone Girl (2014)

6/9

“ Jennifer Aniston's face might have looked like this as the Best Actress nominations were announced. ”

People: Jennifer Aniston

Titles: Cake (2014)

7/9

“ I mean, Amy Adams won the Golden Globe and everything for Big Eyes, although that win was as big a surprise as this Best Actress Oscar snub. ”

People: Amy Adams

Titles: Big Eyes (2014)

8/9

“ Though it earned three nominations -- including an obvious nod to cinematographer Roger Deakins -- Unbroken's subject matter and box-office success put the movie in serious contention for Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay nominations as well. ”

People: Finn Wittrock, Jack O'Connell, Carla Thexton

Titles: Unbroken (2014)

9/9

“ After initially publishing this list, a look at some of the Facebook feedback reminded us that, of all the indie/foreign/arty movies of the past year, we thought Force Majeure was a lock for a Best Foreign Language nomination. There was no way Under the Skin or even Snowpiercer were going to earn a nomination, but we thought this Swedish wonder was right there alongside Leviathan. ”

Titles: Force Majeure (2014)
