Best films snubbed by Oscar

Add a list or tag with showdown:snubbed

Ahead of the 94th Academy Awards (to be held on Sunday March 27, 2022) this is your chance to list the greatest Oscar snubs in Academy history. We’re not talking about those that were nominated and robbed (we’ve been there). These are the films that were never nominated, in any category. Maybe their campaign didn’t go hard enough, or their timing was off, or too many small-brained Academy members overlooked their chance to recognize greatness. So, before sunrise, list the ten films that left you breathless, but that the Academy failed to turn up the heat on. Let us know in the notes which categories you’d have nominated each film for!
