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.

Classism is huge in America. By the way, Oliver’s family based on his lies was working class, but when found out, they appeared quite comfortably middle class.

I'm from the same city as Oliver and I was quite confused as middle classism in that area of the city is a rarity in my experience

He's from Prescot, there's streets there with Million pound houses..His parents must have been really wealthy for the area generally though..To me they are lower middle class, not far removed from working class really but with a few quid..Newish entrants to the middle class basically, obviously done well for themselves..His parents came across as barrat house types culturally working to lower middle class..Don't mean that insultingly..
