Notable Surprises and Snubs
As with every Oscar nomination announcement, there are both surprises and snubs that capture the attention of film fans and industry experts alike.
Snub: Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie”
One of the notable snubs in the nominations is the absence of Greta Gerwig’s directorial nod for “Barbie.” Gerwig, known for her unique storytelling and direction, was widely expected to secure a nomination for her work on this highly anticipated film.
Snub: Margot Robbie
Another surprise was the lack of an acting nomination for Margot Robbie, who delivered a remarkable performance in “Barbie.” Robbie’s absence from the Best Actress category left many wondering about the reasons behind this decision.
Historic Nomination: Lily Gladstone
On a positive note, Lily Gladstone made history as the first Native American to receive a Best Actress nomination for her role in “Killers of the Flower Moon.” This groundbreaking recognition marks a significant milestone in the film industry’s ongoing efforts to embrace diversity and inclusion.
