A look at the biggest snubs and surprises this awards season ahead of the Oscars
As the Academy Awards draw closer, speculation is mounting about who will take home the coveted statuettes on February 9. But the awards season is never without its fair share of snubs and surprises, so let’s take a look at some of the biggest ones this year.
One of the biggest snubs of this awards season is the absence of Adam Sandler from the list of 2020 Oscar nominees. Despite delivering an acclaimed performance in Uncut Gems, he failed to receive a nomination in the Best Actor category. This led to a wave of criticism on social media, with many arguing that Sandler had been overlooked due to his history of comedic roles.
The 2020 Oscars will also feature its fair share of surprises. One of the most unexpected nominees is Quvenzhané Wallis, the nine-year-old star of the biopic Beasts of the Southern Wild. She is the youngest actress ever to be nominated for an Academy Award, and her nomination serves as a reminder of the power of young talent.
The Best Picture category is also full of surprises. While some of the expected contenders like 1917, Joker, and Little Women have made it onto the list, others such as The Irishman and Marriage Story have been snubbed. This has led to some outcry among film fans, who believed that these critically acclaimed movies deserved a nod from the Academy.
The 2020 awards season has been full of snubs and surprises that have kept viewers on the edge of their seats. As the Oscars approach, we can expect some more unexpected twists and turns. With this in mind, it’s safe to say that the 2020 Academy Awards are sure to be an exciting night.
