With the Oscars just days away and with imminent shocks and surprises, here is The Oracle’s list of the most noteworthy Oscar snubs.

Perhaps the most spoken about snub was the lack of female directors in the Best Director category. In a year where there was a plethora of talented female directors to choose from, such as Alma Har’el for “Honey Boy,” Lulu Wang for “the Farewell,” Olivia Wilde for “Booksmart,” Céline Sciamma for “Portrait of Lady on Fire” or Greta Gerwig for “Little Women,” none of them were nominated. Some of these female directors, like Har’el, were certainly long shots, but others like Gerwig and Sciamma had racked up lots of critical acclaim.

Some of the most egregious snubs were found in the Best Actress and Supporting Actress categories. Jennifer Lopez was almost a shoo-in to win the latter, much less have a spot in the category, but was snubbed because ofthe movie she was in (“Hustlers”). Awkafina, who won Best Actress at the Golden Globes, wasn’t even affordeda spot in the category, though Taron Egerton, who won Best Actor at the Golden Globes was also snubbed for his performance as Elton John in “Rocketman.” Lupita Nyong’o, who gave one of the best performances of the year in “Us” was snubbed, despite playing two drastically different characters in one film, a role that displayed her acting prowess to all who watched it. Park So-dam failed to receive a nomination for her work in “Parasite,” despite her strong performance and the movie being called “actor-led” by its director Bong Joon-ho. Cynthia Erivo, however, seemed to fill the one person minority quota that the Oscars had set, receiving a nomination for her role as Harriet Tubman in “Harriet.”
