21 Times the Oscars Got It Hilariously Wrong
Another year, another Oscars has gone by. Once again, a seemingly arbitrary segment of Hollywood gathered to pat themselves on the back, exchange uncomfortable glances during the documentary winners’ speeches when they remember other kinds of people exist and love-bomb the movie that does the best job of pretending to care about other kinds of people. In fact, sometimes, the Academy seems so concerned with appearing to have the correct opinions that they completely whiff it.
For example, “Samuel L. Jackson has only been nominated once for playing Jules in Pulp Fiction, which was well deserved, but I feel like he had gotten a whole lot better as his career progressed following that role,” Redditor phantom_avenger told r/Movies. “His performance in the other Quentin Tarantino films, Jackie Brown and Django Unchained, should’ve at least earned him a nomination. He was sharing a lot of scenes with Robert De Niro in Jackie Brown, and he completely outshined him.”
They then asked, “What is the biggest Oscar snub in film history?” and their fellow Redditors snubbed away.
