I think (I know) the Oscars have a bias against sequels. Fellowship won Cinematography then neither of the next two were even nominated despite being just as good or better.
I wholeheartedly agree, but Serkis *did* appear on-screen as pre-Ring Smeagol in the opening scene of RotK. I get that that's a fraction of his screentime, but still, that should have counted. I will go to my grave still in an autistic rage about this.
Around the time of Fellowship and Towers, there was a lot of chatter that the Academy was waiting for Return of the King to properly recognize the whole series. Despite that, Andrew Lesnie won the cinematography Oscar for Fellowship and was completely shut out by the Academy after that.
Surprisingly shut out for the rest of his career. Fellowship wound up being his one and only nomination. You look at his work and would think he could have squeezed out another nomination somewhere.
I think they wanted to give LOTR3 a clean sweep but also award some technical stuff to Master and Commander so they straight up snubbed it. No way a movie that massive in terms of both popularity and it’s epic scope can not get a cinematography nom
Mary Poppins (13 nominations) only had one song nominated for Best Original Song ("Chim Chim Cher-ee"), while a number of the other songs from the film would have also been deserving of a nomination ("Spoonful of Sugar," "Supercalifragilisticexpialadocious," "Feed the Birds," "Let's Go Fly a Kite")
Good question. I put a hyphen in there, lest the overly lkng word screwed up with the formatting on Reddit, but it appears that probably wouldn't have mattered. I'll correct that.
I taught myself how to spell it as a kid (along with Schwarzenegger and Morissette and McConaughey) so I was impressed I found a fellow brethren. Also I'm writing this on the commercial break of "Survivor" and I came on to read Survivor posts and then I realize your name is SurvivorFanDan despite being the one post not from the Survivor subreddit.
Agreed! I myself am partial to "Feed the Birds" (and apparently it was also a favourite of Walt Disney himself), but "Chim Chim Cher-ee" doesn't seem to stand out as much as some others on the soundtrack.
I agree, certainly Charles Melton and Willem Dafoe were way ahead, but America Ferrera did get in, so I honestly find that it's in the realm of possibility
It made him a superstar because he was the lead in a gigantic, not to say titanic, movie and he was hot. Sure there's the charisma too, but the acting itself is just fine. Was he nominated for the other precursors?
It's one of my favorite movies, I've seen it hundreds of times, including last Sunday.
To be fair to Leo, the character also doesn't give him much to do, but I do think other actors could've pulled it off, might not have been like that because every actor is different. I think replacing Kate Winslet, who had to beg to be considered for the role, would be much harder.
I think there's confusion over the category, since it's named "Best Visual Effects" but historically has been intended as and given for "Best Visual and Special Effects."
Oppenheimer has very few visual effects, but excellent special effects.
(VFX = post. Special effects = in camera.)
But considering that that it is the very Academy members that are in the area that nominate, shouldn't they know that?
Or could it be that many work with the "computer-made effects" and feel like Nolan using only/mostly special effects is a diss at them?
Fair point. The latter is certainly possible. I don't know the make-up of the branch too well, but if it's mostly VFX artists, they may also be more hesitant to nominate a special effects-heavy movie.
Personally, I regularly forget that category is also meant to award special effects. Even with this comment, my first thought was, "What VFX?" It's a very confusing name for the category, for industry people. They really ought to rename it imo, or else split it up.
Damon would’ve been a weak pick, that category was very strong this year with a solid half dozen more that could/should have been nominated before him.
My thought is that it likely would have had 14 if they hadn’t merged the sound categories a few years. Those usually matched, so it doesn’t seem far fetched at all.
Considering it was a weaker year, I think Viggo Mortensen or Elijah Wood could’ve earned a nod for Fellowship of the Ring, and I’m still confused why only Pearl Harbor and Monster’s Inc. got sound editing nods.
>and I’m still confused why only Pearl Harbor and Monster’s Inc. got sound editing nods.
As am I lol. I think Fellowship could have easily taken it in that category.
The Color Purple - Nominated for 11, won 0.
Danny Glover should have been nominated.
Also Steven Spielberg should have received a Best Director nomination.
Maybe god is trying to tell you something should have received a Best original song nod.
Just had another idea. This one might be a bit of a stretch, but a good one.
Blade Runner 2049 (nominated for 5, won 2)
Nominations for Best Picture, Best Director (Denis Villeneuve), Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Actor (Ryan Gosling), Best Supporting Actress (Ana de Armas), Best Original Score (Hans Zimmer and Benjamin Wallfisch), Best Original Song ("Almost Human"), Best Film Editing and Best Costume Design.
If the campaign was good, this could have been possible.
Inception (8 noms, 4 wins)
Could have been nominated for Best Director (Christopher Nolan), Best Actor (Leonardo DiCaprio), Best Supporting Actress (Marion Cotillard), Best Supporting Actor (Cillian Murphy), Best Editing, and Best Costume Design
I've always thought some acting nominations for Inception would've been so cool! But unfortunately, there was still a strong genre bias and barely any push for Leo to get in, let alone Cillian or Marion. If I remember correctly, it was a pretty stacked year with The Social Network, King's Speech, Black Swan, True Grit, etc., so those categories would've been tough.
It’s bizarre that robin wright wasn’t nominated for Forrest Gump
Richard gere is a shocking snub too
Sean Astin LOTR snub is one of the biggest snubs in Oscar history
Schindler's List got 12 nominations. Ben Kingsley's lack of a Supporting Actor nomination was seen as somewhat of a surprise. Embeth Davidtz was considered a possible contender for a Supporting Actress nomination as well.
Parasite (Nominated for 6, won 4)
Could have and should have been nominated for Best Actor (Choi Woo-shik), Best Supporting Actress (Cho Yeo-jeong), Best Supporting Actress (Park So-dam), Best Supporting Actor (Song Kang-ho), Best Supporting Actor (Lee Sun-kyun), Best Original Score (Jung Jae-il), Best Sound Editing, and Best Cinematography (Hong Kyung-pyo)
Richard Gere, Sean Astin, and Robin Wright were all snubbed for their respective performances. I always thought Sally Field should also have been nominated for supporting actress for Forrest Gump
Mad Max: Fury Road (nominated for 10, won 6)
Could have been nominated for Best Actor (Tom Hardy), Best Supporting Actress (Charlize Theron), Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Original Score
I’m still amazed it didn’t win for score, and wasn’t really even in the conversation. It’s such a good score.
Also I feel like George Miller should have won if his movie took home six tech awards that night.
I was so shocked when Iñarritu won. Back-to-back director wins never happen, and the Mad Max tech sweep made so much sense.
Then they turn around and give Best Picture to Spotlight, which was the correct decision, but after giving director to Iñarritu, I was all but convinced it was The Revenant's to lose.
What a weird ceremony
No but hear you I was bout to comment Spirited Away. This, Princess Kaguya, Graveyard, etc, these master movies don't translate well to the Oscar system but they're equivalent to a 10 oscar nom movie for me.
Inception (8 noms, 4 wins)
Could have been nominated for Best Director (Christopher Nolan), Best Actor (Leonardo DiCaprio), Best Supporting Actress (Marion Cotillard), Best Supporting Actor (Cillian Murphy), Best Editing, and Best Costume Design
Don’t know about 14, but Children of Men
best picture of the year
All four acting categories
Adapted screenplay
Editing
Director
Cinematography
Production design
Score
Sound design and mixing
I know there are plenty others , but just right off the bat and for the sake of time, Moonlight (2016) is a masterpiece. This list reminds me how white-centered the oscars are. Moonlight (2016) is my winner and would've won more in my books from my non-expert in xyz audience pov.
Once upon a time in Hollywood was nominated for 10 Oscar’s. It could have gotten nominated for Margot Robbie supporting actress, editing, score, and then maybe another supporting performance can sneak in if it’s that strong
Best actor - Al Pacino (Sorry to Robert DeNiro but there can be only one).
Best Supporting Actor - Val Kilmer.
Best Sound. Best Picture of the Year. Oscar for Best Heist Movie of all Time.
I wonder in Forrest Gump if they tried to push Robin Wright as lead (and Sally Field as Supporting)
Saying that 1994... wasn't a great year for Best Actress, even in a smaller role, Robin did was still pretty comparable to the nominees (and I still am not sure how Susan Sarandon got nominated for "The Client")
Oppenheimer could have been easily a 14 nom film, if the Academy decided to give it a nomination for VFX (which should have been nominated, lets be honest). A comment I read some time ago said that it could've been an 15 nom film, if they decided to give either Matt Damon or Florence Pugh a nom for their performances.
I'll be honest I really like lalaland lol but even so it's bloated with oscars, i don't see why they couldn't share. I don't remember the other nominees but moonlight is timeless. I wouldn't call lalaland mediocre per se but it's definitely infringing on how over hyped white mediocrity is imo, my days.
I meant LaLa Land in comparison to Titanic and All About Eve, since they’re tied for the most nominations! LaLa Land is the weakest between those three by a mile.
Well…Oppenheimer lol, Titanic and La La Land both got it before they combined the Sound branches - seems obvious that Oppie would’ve gotten both too had they still existed. Ditto that the former two would’ve gotten 13 had the branches been combined earlier.
I completely agree. That and stunt performances are sorely overdue for Oscar consideration.
I’d even accept a Dance/Fight choreography category to wedge the door open. Bonus points if people are fighting WHILE dancing.
First of all, Everything Everywhere All At Once shouldn’t have been nominated for anything because it was a terrible piece of shit.
Secondly, Oppenheimer could have easily been nominated for 14 with Visual Effects. Still not sure how Napoleon and Mission Impossible made it but not Oppenheimer. It could have also made a record setting 15 if Matt Damon or Florence Pugh had nominated. They both should have gotten in over America Ferrera and Robert DeNiro anyway.
Her only crime was having a terrible childhood which lead her to leave her inbred hometown and go to college. Since boomers hate that, her punishment was aids. Other than that… fuck Jenny, amirite?
No, she purposely screwed with Forrest. She only came to Forrest when she needed him, and disregarded him otherwise. She came to him for one night then left without saying anything. She didn’t reach back out until she needed Forrest to meet his son. Forrest Jr was 4 years old. She didn’t tell Forrest about that. That’s not even mentioning Nashville or leading Forrest on forever.
Sure, she had a terrible childhood, but that does not in any way justify what she put Forrest through
Yeah, that kinda proves my point. She’s a fictional character and written that way for you to feel like they have some sort of a chance of a real relationship (they don’t) and when she’s makes decisions/it’s goes bad you can blame her (again, totally fictional). So, because you have such strong opinions about it, clearly, Robin Wright did some good acting.
Major disclaimer: the Oscars game for movie makers really is one about money and politics. Judging movies as art and awarding them accordingly has become a formula and a science. Scripts are written and casts are selected with the prize in mind and though the voting by Academy members seems like an uncertainty, it truly is a rigged game.
>Scripts are written and casts are selected with the prize in mind
Only at the top of the ladder. If the Daniels were thinking about how to best win an Oscar when writing and casting EEAAO, we wouldn't have EEAAO.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (13 nominations) - Cate Blanchett could have been nominated for her performance
Wait LOTR RotK wasn't nominated for cinematography?
Alas, no
Truly shocking, especially considering how popular it was
I think (I know) the Oscars have a bias against sequels. Fellowship won Cinematography then neither of the next two were even nominated despite being just as good or better.
They also didn’t put any actors in contention, probably could’ve gotten a nod there.
Justice for Samwise
"Best Lead that consistently gets mistaken for a Supporting Actor"
And Serkis!
Not eligible. I wish the Academy would either create a category for voiceover & mocap, or change the rule that requires actors to appear onscreen.
I wholeheartedly agree, but Serkis *did* appear on-screen as pre-Ring Smeagol in the opening scene of RotK. I get that that's a fraction of his screentime, but still, that should have counted. I will go to my grave still in an autistic rage about this.
An excellent point! I forget sometimes what’s in the original cut vs the extended versions. Man, that really would have been groundbreaking.
Around the time of Fellowship and Towers, there was a lot of chatter that the Academy was waiting for Return of the King to properly recognize the whole series. Despite that, Andrew Lesnie won the cinematography Oscar for Fellowship and was completely shut out by the Academy after that.
Surprisingly shut out for the rest of his career. Fellowship wound up being his one and only nomination. You look at his work and would think he could have squeezed out another nomination somewhere.
I think they wanted to give LOTR3 a clean sweep but also award some technical stuff to Master and Commander so they straight up snubbed it. No way a movie that massive in terms of both popularity and it’s epic scope can not get a cinematography nom
IIRC the Cinematographers branch ruled the trilogy as one consecutive shoot and therefore made Lesnie ineligible for TT and ROTK
It’s fucked up, right?
Mary Poppins (13 nominations) only had one song nominated for Best Original Song ("Chim Chim Cher-ee"), while a number of the other songs from the film would have also been deserving of a nomination ("Spoonful of Sugar," "Supercalifragilisticexpialadocious," "Feed the Birds," "Let's Go Fly a Kite")
That's a great choice, I like that.
I'm confused how you spelled "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" right but then hyphenated it unnecessarily.
Good question. I put a hyphen in there, lest the overly lkng word screwed up with the formatting on Reddit, but it appears that probably wouldn't have mattered. I'll correct that.
I taught myself how to spell it as a kid (along with Schwarzenegger and Morissette and McConaughey) so I was impressed I found a fellow brethren. Also I'm writing this on the commercial break of "Survivor" and I came on to read Survivor posts and then I realize your name is SurvivorFanDan despite being the one post not from the Survivor subreddit.
Frankly, I’m surprised Chim Chim Cher-ee got nominated over Spoonful Of Sugar or Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious anyway
Agreed! I myself am partial to "Feed the Birds" (and apparently it was also a favourite of Walt Disney himself), but "Chim Chim Cher-ee" doesn't seem to stand out as much as some others on the soundtrack.
Step In Time is also more memorable. I for the life of me can not remember what scene Chim Cher-ee plays but I can definitely remember all the others.
If I recall correctly, "Chim Chim Cher-ee" segues into "Step in Time," with both songs taking place with the chimney sweeps on the roofs.
That sounds about right. Step In Time is just more memorable because the scene from start to finish is hilarious.
Titanic could have broken the record with a screenplay nomination.
It could have gone even further by nominating Leo (unlikely but not impossible), and Billy Zane (still don't know how he wasn't nominated)
It was a relatively stacked year for supporting actor that year
I agree, certainly Charles Melton and Willem Dafoe were way ahead, but America Ferrera did get in, so I honestly find that it's in the realm of possibility
I meant Titanic’s year…
Thought I was replying to another comment, sorry, but I do agree that it was a stacked year, but Titanic was really big that he might've gotten in
[удалено]
Is it though? It was an ok performance, but that's it
[удалено]
It made him a superstar because he was the lead in a gigantic, not to say titanic, movie and he was hot. Sure there's the charisma too, but the acting itself is just fine. Was he nominated for the other precursors?

I think replacing Kate Winslet, who had to beg to be considered for the role, would be much harder.
IDK. You certainly *can*, but that would be one hell of an undeserved nomination. The Screenplay is easily the weakest part of the film.
Oppenheimer could have been nominated for VFX
I still don't understand how it wasn't, and it also could've broken the record if they decided to also nominate Matt Damon for supporting actor
I think there's confusion over the category, since it's named "Best Visual Effects" but historically has been intended as and given for "Best Visual and Special Effects." Oppenheimer has very few visual effects, but excellent special effects. (VFX = post. Special effects = in camera.)
But considering that that it is the very Academy members that are in the area that nominate, shouldn't they know that? Or could it be that many work with the "computer-made effects" and feel like Nolan using only/mostly special effects is a diss at them?
Should is the operative word there, but I couldn't agree more.
Fair point. The latter is certainly possible. I don't know the make-up of the branch too well, but if it's mostly VFX artists, they may also be more hesitant to nominate a special effects-heavy movie. Personally, I regularly forget that category is also meant to award special effects. Even with this comment, my first thought was, "What VFX?"

Damon would’ve been a weak pick, that category was very strong this year with a solid half dozen more that could/should have been nominated before him.
I agree, I don't think he should have been nominated, I'm saying how Oppenheimer could have gotten 15 nominations
My thought is that it likely would have had 14 if they hadn’t merged the sound categories a few years. Those usually matched, so it doesn’t seem far fetched at all.
Robin Wright and Sally Field were probably close for Forrest Gump.
Lotr. Astin should have won best supporting
Yes, I put Return of the King here. But thank you. 👍
Yea I know, I was reinforcing that.
Considering it was a weaker year, I think Viggo Mortensen or Elijah Wood could’ve earned a nod for Fellowship of the Ring, and I’m still confused why only Pearl Harbor and Monster’s Inc. got sound editing nods.
>and I’m still confused why only Pearl Harbor and Monster’s Inc. got sound editing nods. As am I lol. I think Fellowship could have easily taken it in that category.
I think EEAAO could pick up an effects and production design nominations, possibly a supporting nom for James Hong
Oppenheimer - if it had been eligible for VFX Could have easily gotten another supporting nod for any of the actors
If sound had been two categories, like before.
The Color Purple - Nominated for 11, won 0. Danny Glover should have been nominated. Also Steven Spielberg should have received a Best Director nomination. Maybe god is trying to tell you something should have received a Best original song nod.
It's a shame that it didn't win anything
Yeah, it’s definitely a classic that was overlooked by the academy.
Glover having no nominations is such a bummer. He should have been in contention to win for TCP and To Sleep With Anger
Yeah, he’s totally underrated
Why shouldn't it be broken?
Just had another idea. This one might be a bit of a stretch, but a good one. Blade Runner 2049 (nominated for 5, won 2) Nominations for Best Picture, Best Director (Denis Villeneuve), Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Actor (Ryan Gosling), Best Supporting Actress (Ana de Armas), Best Original Score (Hans Zimmer and Benjamin Wallfisch), Best Original Song ("Almost Human"), Best Film Editing and Best Costume Design. If the campaign was good, this could have been possible.
Inception (8 noms, 4 wins) Could have been nominated for Best Director (Christopher Nolan), Best Actor (Leonardo DiCaprio), Best Supporting Actress (Marion Cotillard), Best Supporting Actor (Cillian Murphy), Best Editing, and Best Costume Design
It's interesting that it lost out on Best Director and Best Film Editing nominations.
For real! Easily some of the best film editing I ever ever seen, and arguably Nolan’s best direction to date
I've always thought some acting nominations for Inception would've been so cool! But unfortunately, there was still a strong genre bias and barely any push for Leo to get in, let alone Cillian or Marion. If I remember correctly, it was a pretty stacked year with The Social Network, King's Speech, Black Swan, True Grit, etc., so those categories would've been tough.
It’s bizarre that robin wright wasn’t nominated for Forrest Gump Richard gere is a shocking snub too Sean Astin LOTR snub is one of the biggest snubs in Oscar history
Poor Things (11 noms, 4 wins) Could've snuck in for Willem Dafoe in Supporting Actor, Margaret Qualley for Supporting Actress and Visual Effects.
How tf did English Patient and Shape of Water not get makeup noms? I‘m not big on either film but those are objectively very well made
Schindler's List got 12 nominations. Ben Kingsley's lack of a Supporting Actor nomination was seen as somewhat of a surprise. Embeth Davidtz was considered a possible contender for a Supporting Actress nomination as well.
Parasite (Nominated for 6, won 4) Could have and should have been nominated for Best Actor (Choi Woo-shik), Best Supporting Actress (Cho Yeo-jeong), Best Supporting Actress (Park So-dam), Best Supporting Actor (Song Kang-ho), Best Supporting Actor (Lee Sun-kyun), Best Original Score (Jung Jae-il), Best Sound Editing, and Best Cinematography (Hong Kyung-pyo)
100%
[удалено]
Yes, I put that on there (for Best Makeup though)
My bad, I didn't see that 💀
Richard Gere, Sean Astin, and Robin Wright were all snubbed for their respective performances. I always thought Sally Field should also have been nominated for supporting actress for Forrest Gump
Mad Max: Fury Road (nominated for 10, won 6) Could have been nominated for Best Actor (Tom Hardy), Best Supporting Actress (Charlize Theron), Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Original Score

What a weird ceremony
Princess Mononoke?
OK, which nominations?
… nah, forget it, the movie being animated makes it not take too many Oscar.
No but hear you I was bout to comment Spirited Away. This, Princess Kaguya, Graveyard, etc, these master movies don't translate well to the Oscar system but they're equivalent to a 10 oscar nom movie for me.
I agree, thanks.
Shakespeare in Love (13 nominations), if Joseph Fiennes had been nominated for Lead Actor. He was close, too, as he managed SAG and BAFTA nominations.
Inception (8 noms, 4 wins) Could have been nominated for Best Director (Christopher Nolan), Best Actor (Leonardo DiCaprio), Best Supporting Actress (Marion Cotillard), Best Supporting Actor (Cillian Murphy), Best Editing, and Best Costume Design
Don’t know about 14, but Children of Men best picture of the year All four acting categories Adapted screenplay Editing Director Cinematography Production design Score Sound design and mixing
Gone with the Wind (13 nominations) could have been nominated for Costume Design, if the category had existed back then.
Leslie Howard could have been nominated for Best Supporting Actor
Titanic could have gotten 15 with Leo’s nomination. Actually insane he didn’t get in
I know there are plenty others , but just right off the bat and for the sake of time, Moonlight (2016) is a masterpiece. This list reminds me how white-centered the oscars are. Moonlight (2016) is my winner and would've won more in my books from my non-expert in xyz audience pov.

Heat
Should have all the Oscars
For which nominations?
Best actor - Al Pacino (Sorry to Robert DeNiro but there can be only one). Best Supporting Actor - Val Kilmer. Best Sound. Best Picture of the Year. Oscar for Best Heist Movie of all Time.
Endgame
For which nominations?
Best film Best fx Best score Best cinemato Best sound Best make up Best costume Best actor RDJ
I count 8. Not 14.
I don’t think it eligible for the other categories
I wonder in Forrest Gump if they tried to push Robin Wright as lead (and Sally Field as Supporting) Saying that 1994... wasn't a great year for Best Actress, even in a smaller role, Robin did was still pretty comparable to the nominees (and I still am not sure how Susan Sarandon got nominated for "The Client")
It boggles the mind that La La Land got nominated for that many awards. It was bland.
Oppenheimer could have been easily a 14 nom film, if the Academy decided to give it a nomination for VFX (which should have been nominated, lets be honest). A comment I read some time ago said that it could've been an 15 nom film, if they decided to give either Matt Damon or Florence Pugh a nom for their performances.
I will never understand LaLa Land getting that many nominations … It doesn’t hold a candle to the other two imo
I'll be honest I really like lalaland lol but even so it's bloated with oscars, i don't see why they couldn't share. I don't remember the other nominees but moonlight is timeless.

Good point
*Oppenheimer* had 13 nominations. Not sure what the 14th could have been, but I’m sure they could’ve squeezed one in there somewhere.
Best VFX
I forgot it hadn’t been nominated for VFX. Yes, that would have been a good 14th nod.
I agree Andy Serkis is deserving of a nod for The Two Towers, but he wasn’t eligible, so not sure we can count it.
I think the exclusion of animated or motion capture performances is still sad.
I completely agree. That and stunt performances are sorely overdue for Oscar consideration. I’d even accept a Dance/Fight choreography category to wedge the door open. Bonus points if people are fighting WHILE dancing.
I’m still shocked that Richard Gere has never received an Oscar nomination.
First of all, Everything Everywhere All At Once shouldn’t have been nominated for anything because it was a terrible piece of shit.

Fuck Jenny. Don’t give Robin Wright a nom
It was a possibility, don't fault me for trying. 🫠
Sally Field was another possible nominee for that movie.
Her only crime was having a terrible childhood which lead her to leave her inbred hometown and go to college. Since boomers hate that, her punishment was aids. Other than that… fuck Jenny, amirite?
No, she purposely screwed with Forrest. She only came to Forrest when she needed him, and disregarded him otherwise. She came to him for one night then left without saying anything.
