The Handmaiden (2016) 
Should have been nominated for:

• Best Foreign Language Film*
• Best Picture
• Best Director, Park Chan-wook
• Best Adapted Screenplay, Park Chan-wook and Chung Seo-kyung
• Best Actress, Kim Min-hee
• Best Cinematography
• Best Costume Design
• Best Original Score
• Best Production Design

Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019) 
Should have been nominated for:

•  Best International Feature Film*
• Best Picture
• Best Director, Céline Sciamma
• Best Original Screenplay, Céline Sciamma
• Best Actress, Adèle Haenel (and considering last year’s lineup, I would also give Noémie Merlant a nomination)
• Best Cinematography
• Best Costume Design
• Best Production Design

*Both of them would have likely been nominees in the Foreign Film category if their countries had decided to submit them.
