Thanks for watching!! Someone brought up Willem Dafoe (The Lighthouse) in the comments... Shame on me for leaving that out. My brain just thought he was nominated cause he was so good lol
Hey Austin could you please react to a few stuff from Quibi. Been seeing ads for it literally everywhere and apparently first 3 months are free but I am not sure if it's worth it or not
Two more great performances that should've been Oscar nominated: Armie Hammer in ''Call Me by Your Name'' and Logan Lerman in ''Perks of Being a Wallflower'' ...
“Tangled” is most *definitely* better than “Frozen”! Dude, it’s almost criminal how that and “The Princess and the Frog” went under-appreciated by so many.
T.P.A.T.F. *was* nominated. Also TANGLED and FROZEN came out in different years, so one being better than the other isn't really relevant for this topic.
I name one big snub for each category. Of course there’s more, but for the sake of time I’ll just name one for each. Picture: Blade Runner 2049 Director: Christopher Nolan - Inception Actor: Jake Gyllenhaal - Nightcrawler Actress: Amy Adams - Arrival Supporting Actor: Willem Dafoe - The Lighthouse Supporting Actress: Alicia Vikander - Ex Machina Original Screenplay: The Master Adapted Screenplay: Gone Girl Animated Feature: The Lego Movie Documentary Feature: Won’t You Be My Neighbor Film Editing: Inception Cinematography: Interstellar Costume Design: Dolemite is My Name Production Design: Snowpiercer Visual Effects: Edge of Tomorrow Sound: Mission: Impossible - Fallout Original Score: First Man Original Song: Sing Street Makeup: Suspiria
You can’t really count vikander as a snub cause she was nominated and won that year for a different movie. Oscars have a rule that an actor can’t be nominated twice in the same category
Vits Vicente Torres I personally would have nominated the 2015 oscars more similarly to the BAFTA’s. ie nominating Gyllenhaal for night crawler over Bradley Cooper for American sniper or Steve carrell for foxcatcher. I mean jake got nominated for the sag, gg and critics choice also for night crawler, pretty much everything but the oscar
Tony Colette killed it in Hereditary totally snubbed. I agree Austin she should have won best performance by far, maybe I’m biased because I love Hereditary but I think I like it because of her!
Amy adams in arrival and nocturnal animals (2016) Toni collette and Alex Wolff in hereditary (2018) William Dafoe or Robert Pattinson in the lighthouse (2019) James McCavoy and anya Taylor joy in split (2017) Joaquin Phoenix in her (2013) Tom Hardy in locke (2013) And I thought portrait of a lady on fire was snubbed for acting categories and best picture for Oscar this year~~~
Great picks - Amy Adams for Arrival really hurts me, it was a beautiful performance and a stunning film and she carried a science fiction film with grace and complexity. I think she should have won. Alex Wolff in Hereditary is underappreciated, that was a unique and impactful performance worthy of a nomination along with Toni Colette's obvious win that should have happened :)
Crip Log not of that movie. It’s a bit better than a typical superhero movie script but it’s not like the dialogue is particularly sharp or memorable. That movie is great for its performance, style and ambience
@@screenplaybyjamesgarcia6299 I very much enjoyed Black Panther, but no way was it Best Picture marerial. That was entirely political, and it's super cringey. I don't give a rip how "important" the media insists a film is. Is it a great film. Yes or no. It was pretty good in my opinion (though I liked Black Panther as a character before the movie, so I may be biased), and it deserved a lot of the general audience love it got, but come on. Best Picture?
2011:Tangled for Animated, Owls Of Gahoole for Visual Effects. Scott Pilgrim for Editing 2012: Daniel Craig for Dragon Tattoo,Tintín for Animated Feature. 2013: Tarantino for Director, Dark Knight Rises for Cinematography, The Master for Original Screenplay. 2014: Hugh Jackman for Prisoners,Daniel Bruhl for Rush, Joaquin Phoenix for Her 2015: Jake Gylenhaal for Nightcrawler,Lego Movie for Animated and Ben Affleck and Adapted Screenplay for Gone Girl. 2016: Michael B Jordan for Creed. 2017: Finding Dory for Animated feature and Amy Adams for Arrival 2018: Blade Runner 2049 for Director and Picture. James Franco for Disaster Artist. Logan for Makeup. 2019: Toni Collete for Hereditary, First Man for score,production,cinematography and Claire Foy. 2020: They’re acting and directing. Daniel Craig,Taron Egerton, Zhao Shuzen, Christian Bale,De Niro,Mangold,Rian Johnson, Eddie Murphy,Awkwafina,Ana De Armas. Endgame for Score as well
My personal list of snubs: "Wind River" - best original screenplay, best actor in a leading role (Jeremy Renner), best actor in a supporting role (Gil Birmingham) "Molly's Game" - best actress in a leading role (Jessica Chastain) "The Farewell" - best original screenplay, best supporting actress (Zhao Shuzhen) "Ready Player One" - best original score (Alan Silvestri), I still listen to it to this day "Ford v Ferrari" - best actor in a leading role (Christian Bale)
Alan Silvestri is constantly overlooked. I mean, I don’t expect the Avengers necessarily to be nominated. But after everything he’s done! He was nominated for score with Forrest Gump, and song for The Polar Express. He has been killing it since the eighties! Back to the Future (Parts 1-3), Forrest Gump, Cast Away, The Polar Express, Captain America: The First Avenger, The Avengers, Ready Player One, Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame. And so many more that I’m haven’t seen, and some that maybe I have. I just wish Silvestri would have gotten something at some point recently.
Christian Bale wasn't a snub. Literally every performance that was nominated was stronger than his in Ford v Ferrari. He wasn't even the 6th best performance, nor the 7th, those were Robert De Niro and Taron Egerton. I love Bale and he gave an amazing performance, but he definitely did not deserve to be nominated.
Toni Collette in Hereditary was a major snub I also thought that Lupita Nyong'o in Us was a big snub The Academy doesn't appreciate horrors, it's a shame.
2010 - The Social Network - Andrew Garfield (Best Supporting Actor) Inception - Christopher Nolan (Best Director) 2011 - Drive (Best Picture) Warrior (Best Picture) 2013 - Prisoners (Best Picture) Prisoners - Jake Gyllenhaal & Hugh Jackman (Best Actor) 2014 - Nightcrawler - Jake Gyllenhaal (Best Actor - Should Have Won!)

Uncut Gems - Adam Sandler (Best Actor)
MANY great film scores have been snubbed of nominations, including -Hans Zimmer for BR2049 -Thom Yorke for Suspiria -Cliff Martinez for Drive and The Neon Demon
@@VicenteTorresAliasVits Thanks for asking (thumbs up to you). Working backward, the 2018 score list was strangely missing Suspiria AND First Man, both of which had more of a re-listenable quality and were integral to story-telling when compared with all of the others except for If Beale Street Could Talk (best) and Black Panther (the winner). 2017 was arguably the best year of the decade for this category with the transformative Desplait score for The Shape of Water and Jonny Greenwood still on high rotation on my stereo. BR2049 was stunning, and remains Zimmers much better listen than the important-yet-redundant Dunkirk; Burwell's score was in the background, and most agree that a nom was related to the Academy's love for John Williams (this adds very little new to the previous Star Wars scores). In 2016 La La Land was a great soundtrack (not score), Jackie was mediocre. The Neon Demon's score was absolutely integral to the story telling, but was overlooked due to the low exposure of the film itself. The Drive score is one of the most loved scores of the past 20 years, but came the following year after the first electronic score won in this category (The Social Network). Again, legacy votes for two good scores from John Williams. He's a master, but these scores (and films) have been almost forgotten. In my opinion Cliff Martinez' Drive score is better than any of the noms.
Uncut Gems is so underrated. It's not for everyone, because it really works the senses, but direction, score, script and especially Sandler were amazing! Should have been a best picture nominee and of course lead actor
Rocketman should’ve been nominated for way more. At least Elton got best song, but Taron Egerton should’ve been nominated for best actor. Very underrated performance
Great video man! Love it, agree with all of them, specially Toni Collette and Andrew Garfield for Hereditary and The Social Network. My biggest snubs really are The Dark Knight for Best Picture, Inception for Best Director, Logan and Blade Runner 2049 for Best Picture, and for sure The Lego Movie for Best Animated Feature. Warrior is amazing! Love it so much. However, I always think of Drive whenever 2011 pops up in my mind. Hope Tenet and Dune get Oscar love next. Easily my most anticipated movies of 2020! Keep it up bro, you rock!
What makes the dark knight thing even worse is some of the movies nominated for best picture that year over it are just actually bad. I love fincher but the curious case of Benjamin button is maybe his worst movie and The Reader is utter trash and borderline offensive
Great video as always Austin, I agree with basically everything you mentioned but here are Some of the biggest snubs in my opinion (excluding the ones you mentioned): Ryan Gosling - Best actor, Drive Intouchables - Foreign language film and Best picture Nicolas Winding Refn - Director, Drive Leonardo DiCaprio - Supporting actor, Django Unchained Hugh Jackman - Best actor, Prisoners Tom Hardy - Best actor, Locke Damien Chazelle - Director, Whiplash Robert Pattinson - Best actor, Good Time The Florida Project - Cinematography Ryan Gosling - Best actor, First Man First Man - Cinematography and score Damien Chazelle - Director, First Man Robert Pattinson - Best actor, The Lighthouse Song Kang-ho - Best actor, Parasite Willem Dafoe - Supporting actor, The Lighthouse Awkwafina - Best actress, The Farewell Zhao Shuzen - Supporting actress, The Farewell Robert Eggers - Director, The Lighthouse The Lighthouse - Best picture, production design and score
Midsommar was overlooked for best costume design. The fact that the Academy has the balls to bid for the flower gown yet they don’t even acknowledge the film is just criminal.
Mony Even Florence Pugh for best actress. Her performance in Midsommar was far better than in Little Women, even though she was still great in that. The biggest offense has to be best costume design. The opening musical performance even used costume designs from Midsommar. The fact it wasn’t recognized for that shows how invalidated the Academy has become
Few actors who should've made it (personal opinion and general consenus) Andrew Garfield (The Social Network) - supporting actor Bryce Dallas Howard (The Help) - supporting actress Javier Bardem (Skyfall) - supporting actor Matthew McConaughey (Interstellar) - lead actor Miles Teller (Whiplash, Bleed for This + Thank You for Your Service) - lead actor Jake Gyllenhaal + Rene Russo (Nightcrawler) - lead actor + lead actress Michael Keaton (Spotlight) - lead actor Ryan Gosling (The Big Short) - supporting actor O'Shea Jackson Jr. (Straight Outta Compton) - supporting actor Ashton Sanders (Moonlight) - supporting actor Taraji P. Henson (Hidden Figures) - lead actress Sebastian Stan (I, Tonya) - supporting actor Fionn Whitehead (Dunkirk) - supporting actor Robert Pattinson + Buddy Duress (Good Time) - lead actor + supporting actor Ryan Gosling + Claire Foy (First Man) - lead actor + supporting actress Elsie Fisher (Eighth Grade) - lead actress Taron Egerton (Rocketman) - lead actor Adam Sandler, LaKeith Stanfield + Julia Fox (Uncut Gems) - lead actor, supporting actor + supporting actress Thomasin McKenzie (Jojo Rabbit) - supporting actress Willem Dafoe + Robert Pattinson (The Lighthouse) - supporting actor + lead actor Anne Hathaway (Dark Waters) - supporting actress
The Social Network 100%. My favorite movie of all time. If it hadnt won best screenplay, I would have lost my mind. Should have won directing And Picture as well. And Garfield should have won.
Mads Mikkelsen(The Hunt)for best actor,Toni Collette(Hereditary)for best actress,Willem Defoe(The Lighthouse)for best supporting actor and Zhao Shu-zhen(The Farewell)for best supporting actress were the biggest acting snubs of each acting category in past decade IMHO.
Mikael Brønmo Hansen i’d also like to mention Wolf Children (2012) as well when discussing amazing anime films that deserved to win... not just be nominated. In This Corner of the World is another film I also recommend checking out.
@@VicenteTorresAliasVits You're right. But what I think he's trying to say is that with Us it seemed like by the end of 2019 a lot of people forgot it came out. Yes it became a meme for like a couple of months but when it first came out, it seemed like the impact would have been much bigger than what it ended up being - the odd person here and there dressed up as a Tethered for Halloween and that's about it. But even the Academy didn't give Us enough love. Just to compare, Get Out got 4 nominations and Us got 0 (not even Best Original Score).
Agreed on Franco not getting a nom for The Disaster Artist. He did a great job. Absolutely 100% agree on Toni Collette. She was ridiculously good. Midsommar should’ve gotten a cinematography nom. Logan, yes. Blade Runner, ehh. Agreed on Nolan for Inception. His composition was better than the movie itself. In fact, it shouldn’t have gotten the best film nom.
Warrior got 0 Oscar nominations. It should’ve gotten Best picture Best actor (Joel egerton) Best score (maybe win) Best original screenplay (win) Best director Whiplash- Best score Best picture (win) Best director Social Network- Supporting actor (win) Best director (win)
@@VicenteTorresAliasVits I don't remember the nominees that year but I know it was a category fraud, Daniel was in the category of supporting when he was clearly a co-lead.
Knives Out in General: Best Picture Best Director: Rian Johnson (although his directing in Last Jedi might be better) Best Actor: Daniel Craig Best Actress: Ana de Armas!!! Best Production Design Best Costume Design
Can we just talk about how Portrait of a Lady on Fire was the 2nd best film of 2019 and didn’t get a single nomination in anything? - Best International Feature - Costume Design - Best Set Design - Best Score - Best Hair/Makeup - Best Supporting Actress - Best Lead Actress - Best Screenplay (dont know if its original or adapted) - Best Cinematography - Best Director*... this one deserved to win - Best Picture I love love love love love Parasite. But Portrait and Parasite deserved to share those awards. But fucking france decided to go with an inferior film instead. I will never let that film down. It’s a masterpiece and deserves all of these nominations but got none of them.
Interesting that you say that because, as far as I know, foreign films *can* be nominated in all those categories even if their country doesn't submit them for Best International Feature.
I totally agree with all of your pics. If I had to add anything it would EASILY be THE FAREWELL. Picture Screenplay Actress (Awkwafina) Supporting Actress (Zhao Shuzhen). They really dropped the ball with that one. Also Lupita in Us...
Thanks for this excellent contribution to your always enjoyable entries. I'm particularly glad that you hit some of the less-obvious choices (especially Clare Foy - I agree that her performance in First Man not only should have been nominated, but should have won Best Supporting Actress; and Michael Stuhlberg, stunningg in Call Me by Your Name). I would add the following acting snubs (my opinion, of course): Michael Shannon in Take Shelter, John Hawkes in The Sessions.
I get what you're saying about Hereditary and Toni Collette. I am one of those that just hasn't come around to the movie ( I think it is overrated), but would wholeheartedly agree that her performance deserved not just a nomination, but the win.
My 20 biggest snubs: Rush Nightcrawler Gone Girl The lighthouse A Quiet Place (Blunt won supporting actress at SAG, and she wasn't even nominated) Disaster Artist The big sick (Holly Hunter!!!) Lego movie and Lego Batman (The boss baby is a complete insult) Sing Street Monsters University (Despicable me 2 is horrible) Your name Jacob Tremblay for Room Rocketman First man for score Eighth Grade Nocturnal Animals Every masterful performance from Jake Gyllenhaal In the fade Tangled I Daniel Blake (one the most underrated films of the decade)
If your going to nominate somebody from the social Network its gotta be Aaron Sorkin for adapted screenplay. I mean the snappy dialogue and tight plot is what everyone loves about that movie so much isn't it?
The biggest snub for me from the Oscars is them giving Best Original Song to that weak one at the endo of Toy Story 3 over "Now I See the Light" from Tangled. However, there is no movie better than, and never WILL be a movie better than, Frozen.
Best Animated Feature really needs more anime films in there. Like how the hell films like: - Wolf Children (my #2 favorite film of the entire decade) - Your Name - A Silent Voice - In This Corner of the World - Maquia: When The Promised Flowers Bloom - The Night is Short, Walk on Girl These are 6 films that I just look at and wonder how on earth they never got a nomination let alone win their year. Like oh my god. There are so many incredible animated films each year that nobody watches and deserve oscars but never get the recognition that they deserve.
I just don't think this conversation is worth having without saying who they'd replace. It's not a snub if you can't pick who they'd replace. So if you won't do that, to me there's no point in this.
For me- Essie Davis for babadook Avengers endgame- best picture, I understand why it didn't but I really wanted it Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson in the lighthouse Jake for nightcrawler Nolan for inception
Yes for Amy Adams! She's so good in Arrival! And Nocturnal Animals! No nomination there as well, and also no nomination for Aaron Taylor-Johnson for the latter one. Also: A Monster Calls, Paddington 2, and Your Name are some others that I would've loved to see nominated ...
I agree with Lego Movie! I believe they didn't nominate it as an animated movie because it featured live action moments. But it could've been nominated for Best Picture or even best visual effects (if they can nominate the Lion King this one could've as well)! I mean, it's hard to believe that all of it was cgi and not actually stop motion!
In my opinion the best actor category of last year should have been: Adam Driver Joaquin Phoenix Antonio Banderas Adam Sandler Taron Egerton I love Pryce and DiCaprio tho, wasn't a bad category
Diego Pisfil Taron Egerton over Roman or Bale. I mean he won the golden globe for best actor in a comedy/musical, can’t believe the oscars didn’t nominate
I remember being mad about The social network losing both directing and movie oscars haha And yess Andrew was definitely underrated in the movie but I think he's an underrated actor in general.
The Farewell was my biggest travesty of last year. Awkwafina should be an Oscar winner after last year, and it absolutely deserved original screenplay.
I agree with your picks. The documentary branch is the worst and almost always gets it wrong. A couple others a movie called The Dressmaker should have been nominated for best costumes. They literally had a traveling exhibit on the costumes they were so good. Also I really wanted Glasgow from Wild Rose to be nominated for best song last year. Such a great song and film
Blake Lively in A Simple Favor and Adam Brody in Ready or Not. Not exactly snubs because I can't imagine them actually getting nominated, but still Oscar level performances.
Personal list of snubs: Interstellar - Best Picture Aquaman - Best Visual Effects Dolemite is my name: Best Actor, Best costume design Show Yourself - Best song over into the unknown Divines - Best foreign language film Hustlers - Best supporting actress
Idris Elba - Beasts of No Nation Michael Fassbender - Shame Carey Mulligan - Shame Jason Mitchell - Straight Outta Compton Rachel Weisz - Disobedience Samuel L. Jackson - The Hateful Eight
Aside from The Lighthouse, Uncut Gems, and Rocketman, another Oscar snub from last year would be Alita: Battle Angel for best visual effects. The visuals in that movie looked revolutionary especially the CGI on Alita.
Vits Vicente Torres Hmm, that’s a tough one. Idk. Aside from Endgame amd 1917, I would have been fine with one of the other 3 nominees (The Irishman, The Lion King, and Rise of Skywalker) not getting nominated.
2019 Willem Dafoe-The Lighthouse Taron Egerton-Rocketman 2018 Timothee Chalamet-Beautiful Boy Ethan Hawke-First Reformed Toni Collette-Hereditary 2017 Call Me By Your Name supporting actors (I liked them both)
Leonardo DiCaprio for Supporting Actor in Django Unchained (2012) Lupita Nyong'o for Best Actress in Us (2019) Jennifer Lopez for Supporting Actress in Hustlers (2019) Mila Kunis for Supporting in Black Swan (2010) All egregious exclusions in my mind
4:01 Don't forget Silence, I thought he was even better in that film than in Hacksaw Ridge. Also, he was pretty damn good in 99 Homes with Michael Shannon, very underrated Flick.
me personally, i just can't get over Lupita Nynong'o and J.Lo snub from last year for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress. The fact that cynthia erivo was the only actor of color nominated this year at the oscar and cynthia played a slave (no disrespect to harriet tubman) to me shows that the oscar truly has a specific idea of what performance by an actor of color should be recongized it's obvious it has to do with a performance having racial stereotypes that are ingrained in Hollywood, it is it's barely a time an actor of color was nominated and won an Oscar for a performance that either challenged or broke away stereotypes not to say it never happens becuase, it has but it really is very rare.
Angelina Jolie in Maleficent!!! That performance was incredible! I get it's Disney but Meryl Streep got that Nomination for the 2015 Academy Awards for Into the woods and her performance wasn't at all that great. Angelina Jolie's performance was extremely underrated!!!
Same, I think of 2011, I think Warrior (Tree of Life comes after about 20 seconds). The LEGO Movie should've been nominated (And won) Best Animated Feature. This is a bit of a random one, but 2015's Macbeth should've Won Best Cinematography. Every frame looks absolutely gorgeous. Birdman & Mad Max were great, but nothing compares to the primal beauty of Macbeth for me.
Here are some Best Voice Actor Best Supporting Voice Actor Best Casting Director Best Location Manager Best Stunt Coordination Best CGI Actor Best Dance Direction Best Adapted Score Best Soundtrack Best Animation Effects
I was literally watching the social network and paused it to check if both Jesse Eisenberg and Andrew Garfield we’re nominated for oscars and was surprised to find out that Garfield wasn’t like what ?!!
Blade Runner 2049 is one of my favorite films of all time! It blew me away, and the ending is just heart-wrenching and beautiful at the same time. It's better than the Original for sure, even tho the original has easily one of the most iconic scenes ever put on screen! "All those moments will be lost in time, like.. Tears in the rain" ☔😢🙏. R. I. P Rutger Hauer!
