While we did see a number of previous Oscar nominees/winners get nominated for this first time in over a decade this past year like Kathy Bates, Tom Hanks, Anthony Hopkins, Elton John, Sam Mendes, Al Pacino, Joe Pesci, Charlize Theron, and Renée Zellweger, there’s another number of people who still haven’t been nominated in a while. So what are some past Oscar snubs that you felt suggested that Academy members were thinking “We’ve already acknowledged this person/kind of movie, we’re moving on”?

The industry and the actors’ branch has their favorites. Most are just lucky to be considered just the once. The really criminal thing are those never chosen at all yet have the credits and credibility with the public and the critics.

She won for Terms of Endearment and then three years in a row she was considered a possibility but none of them happened. Madame Sousatzka (won the Globe in that tie), Steel Magnolias and Postcards from the Edge.
Postcards From the Edge is, IMO, her absolute best work.

Haven’t seen Madame yet but she was outstanding in Postcards & would’ve been a fantastic nominee (and winner tbh)

She’s been in contention with Stepmom & Igby Goes Down and she herself thought she was Oscar worthy in 2016’s The Meddler (and I agree)

Three in a row and then left out for Master and Commander.
And for Cinderella Man; he was definitely nomination worthy.

Tarantino and Sorkin both missing out on screenplay nominations in 2015 after winning in 2012/2010 respectively
Nicholson missing for The Departed
Lupita mising for Us
Lots of actors who won on their first nomination and never got nominated afterwards (Jennifer Connelly, Michael Douglas, Jeremy Irons, Kevin Kline, Tim Robbins, Tilda Swinton)
As far as “we’re done with this type of movie” goes…
Rocketman after Bohemian Rhapsody
Singin’ in the Rain after An American in Paris
Jackie Brown after Pulp Fiction
Lord of the Rings sequels not getting any acting nominations after McKellen in Fellowship
Also, just as a general trend – WOC winning Best Actress after Halle Berry, women winning Best Director after Kathryn Bigelow, and (I fear) foreign-language movies winning Best Picture after Parasite
