Oscar Snubs that make you pissed? - Blu-ray Forum

Snubs for any catagorys from any film year that make you furious?

Mine is that Cloud Atlas didn't get nominated for makeup.

What do you guys think?

Rebel Wilson for supporting actress in Pitch Perfect. Jacki Weaver stole her nomination.

no Original Screenplay nom for Cabin in the Woods!

nothing specific for this year but the common one in general - sci-fi and horror getting ignored year after year in catagories like acting directing, etc. some do get nominated but it is few and far between. Top 3 grossing movies of 2012 - Avengers, Dark Knight Rises and Hunger Games and how many nominations did they get? Lincoln was #14, Django was #16, Argo #22, Life of Pi #27 - hell, Magic Mike and 21 Jump Street made more money than Life of Pi. High box office doesn't always mean it was a good movie but it is a little crazy when Avengers and Dark Knight make over a $1 Billion and can't get nominated outside of the technical side of things.

The Academy still considers comic book movies kid stuff. I don't care what anyone says The Avengers should have gotten that effects Oscar.

MifuneFan · 02-25-2013, 04:20 PM

Dark knight Rises should have gotten a nom for a sound category, and probably visual effects too.

I agree with sound editing and mixing. Visual effects? eh?

You know how the academy felt they got around this issue- they threw Skyfall a couple of noms as an action film that was something they could stomach. More mature I guess.

The awards are a pretentious pile of garbage. Half the films I never heard of, had limited release in LA or NY, or just came out in like Dec / Jan. In fact, were any of the movies nominated in most of the major categories released before November? Its always about what is freshest in their minds.

Not really, their noms were predictable, in fact they snubbed so many great "smaller" movies that were more deserving: The Master, Once Upon a time in Anatolia, Holy Motors, Rust & Bone, Turin Horse......

Why should box office equal awards? Does that mean Justin Bieber should also win all the Grammys?

And Life if Pi has made almost $600 million worldwide, more than all the other Best Picture nominees.

Obviously Affleck should've been nominated and won for Argo. And TDKR, while pretty much junk, should've been nominated for best score.

I'm actually quite pleased that Cloud Atlas didn't get nominated for makeup, because I thought it looked completely ridiculous. Probably more of a fault with the movie's concept than the work of the makeup artists, but nevertheless...

Personally I felt The Master should've won at least one of its acting nominations. Haven't seen Lincoln so I don't know how good DDL was in that role. Christoph Waltz was fine, but for my money, Philip Seymour Hoffman had a miles more compelling, nuanced performance.

I do agree that Doona Bae as a white woman and Jim Sturgess as an Asian were the only two that were ok. Other than that, LOVED the others.

I do understand and respect your opinion though.

Problem with Philip Seymour Hoffman's nomination was it should have been a best Actor nomination.

Actually I'm also glad that Cloud Atlas didn't get nominated for makeup.
Some of them were so terrible and unconvincing that it took me out of the movie. Instead of focusing and trying to figure out all the complexity in the movie, I was keep thinking how horrible those make-ups were

(also the really hard to understand dialect from the most future part of the movie - it actually reminded me of "Airplane" when they were joking about speaking "jive"

)

I really want to read the book now, because it did seem really interesting. But the movie had me too distracted with the terrible make-up(and the "jive" talking

)

I wish Prometheus was nominated for
Best Set Design
Best Supporting Actor (Micheal Fassbender)

I also wish The Hunger Games was nominated for something.

I agree about Fassbender, really convincing performance in Prometheus. I wasn't surprised by the lack of noms for THG, and while I thought it was great, I'm not sure what I'd nominate it for. Perhaps Best Adapted Screenplay if anything.

Yeah I wasn't surprised it wasn't nominated for anything either. Best Adapted Screenplay would have been nice. I wish award programs didn't discriminate against the action, horror and science fiction genres.

Not sure about furious but I thought Gwyneth Paltrow over Kate Winslet was an eye opener. Circa 1998.

I believe you meant Cate Blanchett for Elizabeth.
