The Oscar nominations were announced this morning, and as is the case every year, there were notable snubs. Here are but a few:

Christian Bale
Balancing out the sweet racing footage in “Ford v Ferrari” was a memorable, nuanced performance from “method AF” Christian Bale.

Adam Sandler
Tell your friends in Lubbock-a, Sandler got the “snub-bocka.” Sandler’s work in “Uncut Gems” was a major leap forward in his career, one that earned him tons of critical praise. Looks like the Academy still thinks of him as “The Waterboy.”

Midsommar
Cinematography? Best Actress (Florence Pugh)? Anyone?

Female directors
Marielle Heller (A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood), Kasi Lemmons (Harriet) and Lorene Scafaria (Hustlers) are just three of the higher-profile snubs.
