Angelina Jolie went into awards season with a ton of optimism with her biopic Maria, but she lost out to Demi Moore for a Golden Globe, didn’t even get nominated for a SAG award and was ultimately snubbed at the Academy Awards – leaving her stressed and baffled to say the least,

Despite getting nominated at the Golden Globes and winning the International Star Award at the Palm Springs International Film Festival for “Babygirl,” Kidman was left off the Oscars’ Best Actress list for 2025. Washington, a two-time Oscar winner, didn’t land a nomination this year for his supporting role in “Gladiator II.”

After getting the best actress award at Cannes, which she shared with her co-stars Zoe Saldaña, Gascon, and Adriana Paz, Selena Gomez has been in awards conversation for the vast majority of 2024. She was nominated for two Golden Globes for her acting in the TV show " Only Murders in the Building " and the film "Emilia Perez."

The biggest snub of all (at least for me) was Luca Guadagnino's Challengers, which received zero nods despite Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross taking home the gong for Best Original Score at the Golden Globes. Fans have taken to Twitter to sound off about the snubs, and understandably so.

The incarceration drama “Sing Sing” did get several significant nominations including for Colman Domingo, adapted screenplay and original song. But Clarence “Divine Eye” Maclin, who delivered a revelatory performance based on his own experience, was not among them. He is, however, credited with helping to write the story.

Several stars were snubbed for the forthcoming awards show, which is set to take place on March 2 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.

The 'Last Showgirl,' 'Maria' and 'Emilia Pérez' actors deserved nods more than Oz witches Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo.

The star earned some of the best reviews of her career out of the Venice Film Festival for her portrayal of the opera icon Maria Callas. Director Pablo Larrain previously delivered Oscar nominations to two of his stars playing historical figures — Natalie Portman for “Jackie” in 2017 and Kristen Stewart for “Spencer” in 2022.
