The 2023 Oscar Nominations Have Arrived… WERE THERE ANY SNUBS & SURPRISES?
It’s that time of the year again. The 2023 Oscar nominations were announced early Tuesday (Jan 24) morning. You can find a complete list of nominations at the bottom of this page, but before you do that… let’s look at if there were any snubs or surprises.
WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE?
Tom Cruise: No Best Actor nomination for his role in Top Gun: Maverick. The film did get nominated for Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay, so there’s that.
The Woman King: The film, which was a hit with both critics and the general audience at the box office, received zero nominations. Viola Davis didn’t even get a nomination for her brilliant performance. She did get nominations at the BAFTAs and from SAG… but still, what’s up Oscars?
Paul Dano: No love for Paul Dano from the Academy. He put on a great performance in The Fabelmans. I honestly think it was a role made for his acting style, but he failed to get a nomination. It’s really surprising because the film got a lot of nominations, and his co-stars even got a few as well, but for some reason, the Academy didn’t want to recognize him.
Margot Robbie: She should have received a Best Actress nom for her work in Babylon. I know not a lot of people saw the movie, but she put a lot of work into her performance.
Brian Tyree Henry: Not many people expected the ‘Atlanta‘ actor to get a nomination for his role in ‘Causeway‘ but the voters surprised everyone by placing him firmly in the Best Supporting Actor category.
Everything Everywhere All at Once: It’s everywhere in the list of nominations.
