- If you thought Margot Robbie losing an Oscar nom this year was bad, just wait until you hear about Marlene Dietrich. In this deep dive into the history of award show snubs (aka “Trophy Strife”) resident expert Louis Virtel breaks down six of the most egregious snubs in the history of the “Best Actress” category at the Academy Awards.

![LISA - NEW WOMAN feat. Rosalía (Official Music Video) reaction [NEW LEVEL!]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/BcppQEBJzEA/mqdefault.jpg)
Please let Louis talk for 3 hours like this and release the whole thing.
YES. Louis talks Oscar snubs. One category at a time.
@@piadox 100% undersigned!!
A full series where Louis schools us on Oscar history? YES!! Right now please!
I'd rather go to the AMPAS museum.
It's thrilling to listen to someone just go off on a topic they're this passionate about. Louis, we love you.
Indeed!
Toni Collette not being nominated for Hereditary
Yes 😢
Toni Collette not having an Oscar is a crime against humanity.
INDEED
That movie was a joke and her hysterical overacting didn’t help any !
This needs to be a full 2 hours long
Myrna Loy was never nominated in any category in her career. She deserved nominations for "The Thin Man" and "The Best Years of Our Lives".
YES!!!
But she's got a 1991 Jean Hersholt Oscar.
Finally someone agrees with me that Glenn Close should have won the Oscar for Dangerous Liaisons over Jodie Foster in The Accused.
I think so too.
@@reneescala7526 I really do not rate Fosters performance in that film, it's borderline hammy, whereas Close is as ever a revelation.
She was absolutely robbed of the Oscar for that performance.
Same here 😊
Glenn Close was absolutely great in Dangerous Liasons, I agree!
Fernanda Montenegro losing to Paltron is to this day the most absurd thing that ever happend.
Yeah
Gwyneth Poultry’s acting is a crime against humanity
I only watched the video to see if this schmuck had Fernanda on his list. He didn't and, consequently, is a 'schmuck'.
No Oscar Expert worth their salt could ever leave out THE definitive "Most Shocking Best Actress Snub" of all time: Bette Davis for "Of Human Bondage". The term "Oscar snub" was coined for this most egregious omission.
In 1934, Life magazine called Bette Davis's performance the greatest ever recorded on screen by an actress.
Couldn't agree more! The only question is whether her performance is considered to have been nominated after all. The snub was so egregious and shocking that in response to the outcry, the Academy opened the nominations to write-ins. Back then the order of finish was revealed, Davis only wound up in 3rd, but still ahead of original official nominee Grace Moore for One Night of Love. Then, the next year, as write-ins remained in the rules, the Best Cinematography winner was Hal Mohr for A Midsummer Night's Dream, who was not originally nominated. I think when you come in ahead of official nominee (like Davis) or win (like Mohr), you are nominated after all. Apparently the Academy agrees, as Davis' performance is listed as having been nominated as a write-in on their official website, giving Bette 11 total nominations for Best Actress (and still not enough for the greatest of them all, as Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks and so many others agree).
I think her performance in All About Eve is her best ever
She should have won for Whatever Happened to Baby Jane
Bette Davis, we love you.
I disagree the worst Oscar snub for an actress was Bette Davis for Whatever happened to Baby Jane . One of the all time great performances
Glenn Close in "Dangerous Liaisons" should have won just for the last, wordless scene after she's been humiliated at the opera, taking off her makeup.
Gwyneth winning for Shakespeare in Love over Cate in Elizabeth was the first time I ever felt a sense of injustice over the Oscars.
Yes! Yes! Jelly Belly!!
Agree 100%
Amy Adams in arrival was heart breaking
I love that movie so damn much. It's in my top 10 ever. I'm a research linguist so, yeah, a bit biased 😊
Definitely Cher. My list includes Gloria Swanson in "Sunset Boulevard," Anne Bancroft in "The Graduate," Carrie Snodgress in "Diary of a Mad Housewife" and Leslie Caron in "The L-Shaped Room."
Swanson not winning is the biggest pile of bull malarkey ever in the history of the academy. That performance was EVERYTHING
Lol - that verbal portrait you crafted of Judy’s hospital room being abandoned by the vulture press on Oscar night was quintessential Judy
Judy was indeed robbed.
Completely agree with you on Garland. One of the greatest performances ever put on film.
Witness for the prosecution is one of my favorite movies of all time - so happy Louis mentioned the movie and Marlene Dietrich
I could listen to you talk about Oscar trivia for hours!
Couldn't agree more with your list of snubs. My personal gripe was Annette Bening not being nominated for her touching turn as another Oscar winning actress, Gloria Grahame, in " Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool." And, speaking of snubs, Elvis Costello should have been nominated for his beautiful song " You Shouldn't Look at Me That Way " from the same film. (And I've never been a Costello fan.)
Wait wait wait we are not talking about Fernanda Montenegro not winning for Central do Brasil while that sad little movie Shakespeare in Love led Gwyneth Paltrow to the Oscar for best actress in 98?????????? That was a real mistake
@@beatrizrocha1282 personally, my vote would have also been for Montenegro, with Blanchett my second choice.
The best thing though…Fernanda and Walter Salles have a new film coming out this year called, “I’m Still Here.” At 94 years old, she is the older character and her real life daughter, Fernanda Torres plays the younger version of her character.
It premieres at the Venice Film Festival.
Barbara Stanwyck, snubbed for Double Indemnity
Agreed!
Missed opportunities: Greta Garbo (Camille), Doris Day (should have been nominated for The Man Who Knew Too Much), Irene Dunne (5 nominations), Andrew Scott (not even nominated for All Of Us Strangers).
Jodie Foster doesn't "accidentally" have two Oscars, she earned them
I agree.
Marlene Dietrich saying "you wanna kiss me, ducky" in Witness... is seared into my brain
Love to show this movie to friends and watch them react during the last ten minutes (starting at Marlene's "You had help.").
What's seared into my brain is her meltdown on the witness stand: "Damn you! Damn you!...let me go! Let me get out of here!" And the way she calls Charles Laughton "Sir Wilfwid."
@@topogigio2879 And the way she says "comfortable"- you know Madeline Kahn watched this movie before she did "Blazing Saddles."
More of this PLEASE.
I’m glad Louis mentioned the snub of Annette Bening’s performance in “20th Century Women” but I think she was equally deserving of a nomination for her amazing portrayal of Gloria Grahame in “Film Stars Don’t Die in Liverpool” (2017).
Judy Garland was an actress ahead of her time, compleyely natural and authentic. A true triple threat. She absolutely was robbed!
Hear, hear!
Judy Garland got snubbed by the Academy twice, first for A Star Is Born and again a few years later when she was nominated for Judgement At Nuremberg. She should have won both.
Agreed!
Hell, yes!
Great video! Have to comment on my biggest snub which is Ellen Burstyn in “Requiem for a Dream” losing to Julia Roberts in “Erin Brockovich”. Julia is an amazing actress, but this seems like a popularity contest or political voting because I don’t think anyone can hold those two performances side by side and say Julia exceeded any aspect of performance compared to Burstyn. Both great performances, but one clear winner in my opinion.
Absolutely agree - Burstyn was robbed.
Probably Because Ellien Burstyn Had Already Won 🏆 An Academy Award 🏆 For 'Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore'( 1974 ) Where Julia Roberts Had Not Won 🏆🚫 Anything As Far As An Academy Award 🏆🚫Was Considered.
Plus , Julia Roberts Was Portraying A Real Human Being. ( Non-Fiction )
Where Ellien Burstyn Was Portraying A Fictional Character.
Believe Me , I Would Have Preferred That Ellien Burstyn Would Have Won 🏆🏆 A 2nd Academy Award 🏆🏆😁😎🤓🙂☺️@@irenepowell4343
I will go to my grave saying that Audrey Hepburn was robbed of the Best Actress Oscar in 1959 for her tour de force performance as the tortured nun in "The Nun's Story." She lost to Simone Signoret for "Room at the Top." "The Nun's Story" was a world-wide, box-office hit. Also, Dame Edith Evans, who played Mother Emmanuel, the superior of the order of nuns, was bypassed for a Supporting Actress Oscar. One of the biggest travesties of justice occurred when Gladys Cooper, who played Sister Marie Vouzoux, a nun who did not believe that the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to Saint Bernadette Soubirous in the film, "The Song of Bernadette.". There is one scene between the two nuns where Sister Vouzoux pleads for a sign that the appearance did occur to Bernadette which is one of the most believable and memorable scenes ever recorded on film.
I love how Oscars history intersects showbiz and cinephilia😊😊😊
Janet Leigh, Anthony Perkins and Alfred Hitchcock for Psycho. Joseph Stefano too.
Janet Leigh's nomination for Best Supporting Actress would have "given the game away" as surely as a nomination for Marlene Dietrich would have. People who hadn't seen Psycho yet weren't supposed to KNOW what Leigh's character was Supporting and not Leading.
Janet Leigh WAS nominated for Best Supporting Actress. Marlene Dietrich SHOULD have been nominated for Supporting Actress.
As far as giving the game away, what about Linda Hunt's Best Supporting Actress nomination (and win) for The Year of Living Dangerously and Jaye Davidson's Best Supporting Actor nomination for The Crying Game? Anybody who deserves a nomination should get one regardless of if it gives something away. The people they are trying to spare should have seen the movie sooner.
I will never forgive the academy for overlooking Psycho's across the board richly deserved wins!!!
Marilyn Monroe for Bus Stop. Always overlooked but got several other awards for her performances in other films.
Couldnt thank you enough for these type of videos!!!!
“Cher is better than people” top tier quote
Cate not winning for Elisabeth, the year Gwyneth won :/
Two words: Thelma Ritter
Which perfectly sets up one of these for a Supporting Actress snubs video by Louis. Ritter in "Rear Window" fits right in.
Hear, hear!
Two more: Absolutely right!
Part 2! Part 2! Bette Midler for The Rose 🧑⚖️
I agree!
YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!!!! So good.
More Oscar stuff please , especially old Oscar stuff. I agree with mask as much as I laugh at her moonstruck Oscar. Girl please. Great video. P s. I'll never get over the Judy Garland thing thank God I wasn't alive when it happened
A few come to mind for me, but others may disagree. I love Elizabeth Taylor in “Giant” (1956) and Lee Remick in “Anatomy of a Murder” (1959) and feel they were both worthy of nominations.
Totally agree with you!
I totally agree! Elizabeth Taylor's performance in "Giant" was really her best performance!
@@jimmydaves i loved her character Leslie!
I much prefer Elizabeth Taylor in Cat On a Hot Tin Roof. That's a powerhouse performance. She was robbed at the 1959 Oscars.
Louis talking about Best Actress snubs? YES PLEASE!
The Amy Adams snub is one that I hold onto still. That movie moves me to the core. So much love for that performance, and the source material is just as good as the movie!
One of the worst years based on results was 1999 (for movies made in 1998). You have Shakespeare in Love beating both Saving Private Ryan and The Thin Red Line (both cinematic masterpieces--SiL--was it even one of the top 10 movies that year?), Gwyneth Paltrow (in SiL) beating both Cate Blanchett in Elizabeth and Emily Watson in Hilary and Jackie, Roberto Benigni (in Life is Beautiful) over Ian McKellen in Gods and Monsters and Edward Norton in American History X, James Coburn (in Affliction) over Ed Harris in The Truman Show and Robert Duvall in A Civil Action, Judi Dench in SiL over Lynn Redgrave in Gods and Monsters and Kathy Bates in Primary Colors, and SiL winning Best Screenplay over Saving Private Ryan, The Truman Show, and I think I would have even voted for Bulworth over SiL. So, yeah, that was a bad year. (Also, Pleasantville came out in 1998 and missed in all the main categories--???) Other examples that stick in my craw include Dances With Wolves over Goodfellas in 1991 and Driving Miss Daisy for Best Picture in 1990; I do like it as a movie more than SiL, but was it really better than the movies it beat? There are so many talented actors who haven't won that it would be difficult to list them all, but my shortlist would include Annette Bening, Glenn Close, Joan Allen, Sigourney Weaver, Mary McDonnell, Amy Adams, both Joan and John Cusack, Ed Norton, Jake Gyllenhaal, Donald Sutherland, and I'm probably forgetting a bunch of people. Hitchcock never won Best Director--really?!?!? Terrence Malick? I guess the last one I'll mention is Forrest Gump beating both The Shawshank Redemption and Pulp Fiction in 1995. This situation BTW is not unique to film. In literature, for example, you have such major 20th Century writers who weren't even considered for the Nobel Prize such as James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, Franz Kafka, Marcel Proust, Jorge Borges, J. R. R. Tolkien, Sylvia Plath, Ursula LeGuin, etc., etc. Salman Rushdie is still alive, but is he ever going to get this award? It's looking doubtful.
I'd love an "Oscar History" mini-series Podcast by Louis. It would be good for us because we get to hear Louis speak on this, and it'll be good for him because you know he'll enjoy researching that stuff.
Toni Collette in Hereditary, Gyllenhaal in Nightcrawler. Liotta in Goodfellas. Lindo in Da 5 Bloods.
True
Peter Bogdanovich's best movie is "What's up, Doc"! 👍🏻
Totally Agree!
Yes!
Yeah, but that was before Paper Moon.
You are brilliant. Brilliant.
As far as snubs go, the Academy really needs to get over their phobia of action, horror, and comedy. Uma was perfect in Kill Bill and should have been nominated for either role.
They could've booted Diane in Something's Gotta Give or,. sorry, Annette for Being Julia (even though those are both comedies so I'm contradicting myself).
Ruth Gordon was iconic in Harold and Maude.
The Academy has done an okay job recently of nominating foreign films, they really should have nominated Anne Dorval for Mommy and depending on what year it was, booted either Felicity Jones or Jennifer Lawrence.
Both Jodie Foster in Contact and Pam Grier in Jackie Brown were robbed, they probably could've booted Judi Dench, Kate Winslet, or Julie Christie.
Gena Rowlands in Opening Night gives one of my favorite performances ever and she was totally robbed, Marsha Mason really didn't need that nom (when does Marsha ever really need that nom?)
Kathleen Turner was robbed a few times, in 1984 for Romancing the Stone (they could've booted most of those noms, probably Sissy for The River), War of the Roses in 1989 (Jessica Lange in Music Box could be booted), and 1994 for Serial Mom (again, they coud've booted several of them, I'd say Susan for The Client).
I know they always say this when they win, but 1995 really was a great year for women, and several were snubbed including Sigourney for Copycat, Kathy Bates for Delores Claiborne, Nicole Kidman in To Die For, Marina Zudina in Mute Witness, and Elizabeth Berkley in Showgirls (okay, the last two are wishful thinking, but they're still great).
And even though I know they had no chance, Elisabeth Shue in Adventures in Babysitting, Rebecca De Mornay in The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, and Christina Applegate in Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead made my personal Oscars.
I have never forgotten when Gwyneth Paltrow won best actress for the Shakespeare movie over the incredible Cate Blanchett performance in the movie Elizabeth, Cate can act circles around Gwyneth. I also think Glenn Close and Cate Blanchett were incredible in Paradise Road, as well as some of the other women in that movie.
Cher is such an amazing actress. She’s so great in Mermaids too, another role and movie time seems to be forgetting, tragically.
I think mine would be Joan Fontaine not winning for Rebecca
Yes and Ginger Rogers winning for an almost unwatchable movie. In my opinion she was the weakest of the five nominees that year. I love Ginger but not that role.
Toni Collette Toni Collette Toni Collete and Toni Collete for Hereditary (and Lupita Nyong'o for Us)
Yes
At the 100th Oscar’s I hope you get a segment live on the show! Recapping all the times they fucked up over the years 😂
So, you mention Whoopi Goldberg and Geraldine Page, but you don’t include it as a legendary snub. While I do think that Geraldine Page fully deserved the Academy Award, so did Whoopi Goldberg, whose performance in The Color Purple was arguably one of the greatest premier performances of all time. To me, it’s a rare instance that was a legitimate snub, even though the actual winner fully deserved it. I thought it should have been a Hepburn/Streisand-like tie.
It's just his opinion. Not relevant to us. A lot of a❤❤e lic👅👅rs here.
2016 had the most snubbed performances at the Oscars:
-Taraji for Hidden figures
-Amy for Arrival
-Jessica for Ms Sloane
-Hailee Steinfeld for Edge of seventeen
-Alicia Vikander for Light between the oceans
I love Meryl but it was a joke she did get in for Florence....
I cannot bring myself to rewatch Til again. That off-screen lynching scene where all you see is the house at night haunts my dreams!
"The Barbra version is… very long." 🤣 Also, I need a bigger sample size for Grace Kelly movies. I've only seen Rear Window and Mogambo, and in the latter was so horrid, especially with Ava Gardner being so awesome right next to her.
Gene Tierney was originally cast and pulled out due to illness. I believe she would have been a better choice and was a much more experienced actress at that time.
Try Dial M For Murder, maybe?
Grace Kelly didn't make very many movies. Her best-known ones are High Noon, High Society, Rear Window, Dial M for Murder, To Catch a Thief. I'd say, of all these, Rear Window is the best. Her last film was The Swan in 1956, a filmed play, which was kinda slow and not really interesting.
I will never ever understand why people believe that 'Working Girl' was worthy of Oscar consideration other than for Best Song. It was literally a run of the mill comedy that ripped-off of 'The Secret of My Success' which came out the year before.
Just found your channel. Hallelujah. Although I don’t know if you talked about it, I’m still mad Toni Collette did not get a best actress nod for HEREDITARY. Can’t wait to dive into the channel more😊
Can’t believe you went all the length not to talk about how Michelle Yeoh won over Blanchett’s masterclass performance in Tar
Cate Blanchett was robbed! Several times actually - She was robbed for "Elizabeth" and "Notes on a Scandal" and "Tar"
Tar is real, and lives near all of us!
Merch!
Tar is complete 💩
Heavy slow boring too long. Infact not a single oscar won.
it's funny that they didn't nominate Marlene because of the spoiler yet they nominated Jaye Davidson for Best Supporting Actor.
Toni Collette, Hereditary
Reese Witherspoon, Election
Florence Pugh, Lady Macbeth & Midsommer
Joan Crawford, Whatever Happened to Baby Jane
Myrna Loy, The Thin Man
Marilyn Monroe, Some Like It Hot
Great segment. I did not like Out Of Africa for years but 15 years later, realized both film and Meryl Streeps performance were outstanding. I would have to disagree with you on that it being anything but. It took very long to realize that.
I read Dinesen's book, and the film was highly fictionalized and formulaic. But any Streep performance is a winner.
Yeah, this is everything to me. More, please!
Mia Farrow has never been nominated-not even for Rosemary's Baby!
I agree she should have been nominated for Rosemary’s Baby. I am also shocked that she had several BAFTA nominations, yet not one Oscar nomination.
Do a segment on actors who won, but as appeasement for previous, snubbed performances. Ex.: Jennifer Connelly won for A Beautiful Mind, but it was really for Requiem for a Dream.
Same with Whoopi Goldberg’s win for Ghost as an appeasement for losing for the role she should have won for - Celie in The Color Purple.
Whoopi was excellent in the Color Purple!
This would be a long list, beginning with Al Pacino and Julianne Moore winning for performances that don't rank with their greatest work (Note: I actually love Pacino in Scent of a Woman and think Moore is excellent in Still Alice, but, come on, we all know they don't compare to Godfather 1 and 2, Serpico, Dog Day Afternoon, or Boogie Nights, Far From Heaven, The Hours, The End of the Affair, etc. etc. etc.)
I'd love for Louis to do a show on what all was wrong with the tragedy that is Barbra's version of "A Star is Born" starting with whether it needed to be made.
The snub that I will go to the grave for is Toni Colette not getting nominated for best actress for Hereditary (2018).
💯 %
I loved "Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean" and I agree with you completely, Cher made that movie special.
Asian cinema represent!!
Maggie Cheung (In the Mood for Love)
Gong Li (Farewell My Concubine)
Tang Wei (Decision to Leave)
Hilda Koronel (Insiang)
Jaclyn Jose (Ma’Rosa)
Sakura Ando (Shoplifters)
Jo Min-su (Pieta)
And so much more…
Cher's performance in Mask was way better than in Moonstruck. Annette Bening was robbed in 1999/2000, she should've won for American Beauty
I can’t believe Felicity Huffman lost to Reese Witherspoon
That was incredible 😮 😖🤦🏻♂️
Sorry, I have to disagree with you about Jessica Lange's performance in "Sweet Dreams." I think she was sensational. And the film itself is quite good.
Love this, using your power for good.
What about zac efron & the entirety of iron claw being snubbed.
He only uses his powers for actresses.
Absolutely great commentary. Definitely correct with garland for a star is born and Cher in mask. I actually stopped watching academy award when Cher didn't get that nomination!
Greer Garson not getting a nomination for Random Harvest is tragic, but since she was nominated and won that same year for the wartime morale booster Mrs. Miniver, I’ll give the Academy a pass.
Judi Dench LOST to Helen Hunt!? !? How f-ed up was that!?!?
Sandra Bullock winning?
Great picks, especially Close. My favorite nominated but non-winning performances are
Wendy Hiller. Pygmalion
Bette Davis. All About Eve
Kim Stanley. Séance on a Wet Afternoon
Jessica Lange. Frances
Cate Blanchett. TÁR
Favorite non-nominated performances
Isabelle Adjani. Possession
Naomi Watts. Mulholland Dr.
Nicole Kidman. Birth
Sandra Hüller. Toni Erdmann
Lupita Nyong’o. Us
I favourite things said about the year Ghandi won best picture was during a Biography of Meryl Streep and someone from the crew of Sophie’s choice and “we knew Ghandi was gonna win best Picture when it won best costume for a sheet”.
Sissy Spacek not winning for "Carrie" gives me pain.
Great video. Followup might be actors with multiple nominations but no wins (excluding honorary before they die) like Richard Burton, Deborah Kerr, Thelma Ritter & Peter O'Toole.
P.S. Love your Viertel It Like It Is spots on Jimmy Kimmel.
Dame Deborah Kerr and Sir Peter O'Toole won their Honorary Oscars between 1994 and 2003. But Sir Richard Burton and
Dame Thelma Ritter didn't get theirs at all.
Louis saying “At what point does a hobby become a condition” is fabulous.
That was so wonderful! Thank you! More please!
Good discussion, and great topic of conversation. But I came into this channel to find out who the good looking guy was in the thumbnail, and was pleasantly surprised to find it was Louis Virtel..!!
"Cher is better than people, do you understand?"...God, I miss having gay friends...I REALLY took those Oscar parties I hosted in college for granted...those were the days...
Firstly, let me say I love your videos! So much fun and very informative too. The Judy Garland snub for "A Star Is Born" is the most heinous IMO. Many have said it was because of the bad editing job done (not by George Cukor) that cost her the Oscar, but even without many of the additional scenes that propel the story Garland gave the best performance of her career and certainly the best of that year. I believe Annette Bening was robbed for "Being Julia". She lost the Oscar to Hilary Swank for "Boys Don't Cry" the first time they were nominated against each other- and I think Hilary was deserving of that Oscar. But Annette"s performance in
Being Julia" was IMO the standout performance to Hilary"s "Million Dollar Baby". Annette, like Judy, has not won a competitive Oscar. That's a crime!
Gena Rowlands should have at least five oscar nominations and one absolute win for A Woman Under The Influence. Her other nominations should have been for:
1. Best Supporting Actress in Faces (1968)
2. Best Actress for Minnie And Moskowitz (1971)
3. Best Actress for A Woman Under The Influence (1974) (win)
4. Best Actress for Opening Night (1977) (win)
5. Best Actress for Love Streams (1984)
6. Best Actress for Another Woman (1988)
7. Best Supporting Actress for The Notebook (2004)
Finally, she won a Honorary Oscar.
Definitely Toni Collette in Hereditary. Yeah it’s a horror flick which the Academy never bonds with for whatever reason. But damn!… Toni was captivating and phenomenal in that role. Not to mention Ari’s cinematography and direction is top notch and beautifully shot. Total snub all around
More of this!
Grace Kelly did win Best Actress for COUNTRY GIRL from the NEW YORK FILM CRITICS, NATIONAL BOARD OF REVIEW and GOLDEN GLOBE - Drama (Garland received it for Musical Actress). So her performance did have merit, recognition. Garland's performance was wonderful, but I think she was seen, at the time, more as the sentimental choice, having come back from a rough period in her life and career.
All valid points made, and Yes Judy Garland was cheated out of her deserving Oscar for A Star is Born, she gave everything she had to an industry that just pushed her aside in so many shady ways, God bless Judy... :-)
Annette Bening and Glenn Close have been snubbed so many times it's criminal.
#1 Bette Davis nominated but LOSING in 1950 for All About Eve. Seriously: W... T... F... ???
#2 Bette Davis getting snubbed for Of Human Bondage is probably a close second.
#3 Audrey Hepburn NOT nominated for My Fair Lady.
#4 Madonna NOT nominated for Evita.
1997: Judi Dench loses Best Actress to Helen Hunt. Hunt did the best she could with what she was given, but I'm sorry, her character in As Good As It Gets was just not interesting enough for her performance to win out over Dench's turn as the fascinating, complicated Queen Victoria in Mrs. Brown.
Actually, ANY of the nominees that year, even Kate Winslet in Titanic, would have been more deserving than Hunt. But the Academy just haaaad to give the award to the American.
omg so funny, you have really cheered me up
Arrival is just one of my top 10 films ever. Amy Adams really should have got that one.
2001, Ellen Burstyns loss in Requiem for a Dream to Julia Robert’s Erin Brokovich. Burstyns performance was unparalleled, but she already had an Oscar for Alice doesn’t live here anymore. Julia Robert’s performance was fine, and she had yet to win an Oscar - until then.
