When the Oscars nominated the wrong person for the right film

In light of Judi Dench being nominated over Caitriona Balfe despite the former not getting any major precursor nods and the latter getting all of the major precursor nods, I’d like to post a thread discussing occasions like this.

Have this ever happened before? Where someone gets most if not all major precursor nods, only to be snubbed in their category for a different performance in the same film?

Aaron Taylor Johnson won the golden globe and got into BAFTA for Nocturnal Animals; while Michael Shannon made the Oscar’s

Balfe’s snub is disgusting. Absolutely trash

To an extent,
Scarlett Johansson for Jojo Rabbit. A lot of people preferred Thomasin McKenzie

There was nothing wrong with Scarlett’s performance in Jojo Rabbit.  I did she did a good job.

Although I loved Michael Shannon in Nocturnal Animals, Aaron Taylor-Johnson should’ve gotten an Oscar nomination as well.

Aaron Taylor Johnson/Michael Shannon is probably the biggest and most recent example.

Mark Whalberg instead of Nicholson (Globe/Bafta/Critics Choice nominee) and DiCaprio (SAG nominee) for The Departed.

Absolutely. I preferred Johansson to McKenzie. I’m just saying that a lot of people wanted McKenzie over Johansson.

Good example! Although I really liked Mark’s performance, Nicholson should’ve gotten a nomination too.

Although I love Emma Stone in Birdman, I think Naomi Watts would’ve been the better choice.
