Oscars 2019: Snubs and Nominations

2019 may go down as one of the most controversial Oscars list in recent memory.

The 2019 Oscars nominee list is one of the most surprising in the award ceremonies controversial past. In recent years the Oscars have been criticised for ‘whitewashed’ nominations and avoidance of popular films however it seems they have made a bold move against these claims this year. Their latest nominee line-up contains an apparent attempt to acknowledge minority stories and popular films, such as Black Panther and BlacKkKlansman.

While this acknowledgement of bias is encouraging to see, many on Twitter are outraged by some significant snubs. Below is a list of some of the most tweeted oversights this year:

Toni Collette was not nominated for Best Actress — Hereditary

Ethan Hawke was not nominated for Best Actor — First Reformed

‘A Quiet Place’ (mostly silent film) was nominated for best sound design.

First Man was not nominated for best sound design.

Eighth Grade was not nominated for Best Screen Play

Black Panther, BlackKkKlansman, Green Book & Bohemian Rhapsody nominated for Best Picture

Bradley Cooper was not nominated for Best Director
