SNUBBED! at the Oscars

I'm just livid. They couldn't give it even a single nomination? I've really lost faith in the Oscars.

Should have gotten a cinematography nomination.

Off topic but Oppenheimer getting a hair and makeup nomination when Barbie didn't feels absurd

Saltburn got five BAFTA nominations, same as Barbie. Honestly, the way the system works just makes no sense. :/

I guess Barbie directed itself too. Weird.

There are 10 best picture noms and only 5 for director. I would have liked to see Greta get one as a big fan of hers, but the 5 that did were very deserving

Of course. But 8 nominations across all those categories likely only happens because of a brilliant achievement in directing IMHO.

Ive been seeing this complaint lodged against the academy but the truth is please look at thefive that did get the nominations and tell me which one of them Gerwig is replacing? I’m sure it was close…but they all earned their spot

Not to mention Gerwig DOES have a nom for best adapted screenplay so if Barbie takes that then so Gerwig (and baumbach) go home with an Oscar that night

Eh. It's got some genuinely incredible old-age makeup, so not unjustified.
