This morning's Oscars2023 nominations were packed with plenty of surprises and some massive snubs.
This morning, we saw the nominations announced for this year's Academy Awards, and while many of the nominees were what was to be expected, with Everything Everywhere All At Once, The Banshees of Inisherin, The Fabelmans, Elvis, and more doing extremely well, there were also a number of huge surprises and major snubs. As we look back and celebrate the best in film from last year, let's take a look at some of the biggest shocks and disappointing absences from this year's awards.
Marvel Gets Its First Acting Nomination Marvel has always done fairly decent in technical awards, but up until this year's nominations, Marvel had never received an Oscar nomination in an acting category—not even nominating Chadwick Boseman for Black Panther. As DC has been nominated and won several acting awards before, Marvel received their first through Angela Bassett's performance as Queen Ramonda in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
Major Absences in Best International Feature When the Academy announced the shortlist for the Best International Feature category, it became very clear that some major nominees were going to be left out of the category this year. While films like All Quiet on the Western Front and EO, which seemed like obvious picks, did get nominations, plenty of greats missed out.
What Is Going on in Best Actress?? Best Actress this year is about half expected nominees, and half "what the hell just happened?" This category has always been about Cate Blanchett versus Michelle Yeoh, and it's no surprise that Michelle Williams made it in the nominees, despite her performance maybe being a bit more on the supporting side. But Best Actress came with back-to-back shockers: Ana de Armas in Blonde and Andrea Riseborough in To Leslie.
James Cameron Out, Ruben Östlund In Beyond no female nominees in Best Director, this category seemed like it would obviously give nominations to Martin McDonagh, the Daniels, Steven Spielberg, and Todd Field, but that fifth spot seemed like it could be anyone's game. James Cameron seemed like a likely possibility, given the awe-inspiring nature of Avatar: The Way of Water, or even Baz Luhrmann for the gaudy insanity that was Elvis.
