What are some of the worst Oscar snubs of the last 3 decades?

For me, the one I’m mad about at the moment is Pleasantville being almost completely ignored by AMPAS, despite being fuckin amazing. Joan Allen and Jeff Daniels at least deserved nods.

Ethan Hawke, First Reformed
Sally Hawkins, Happy-Go-Lucky (though personally I loath her performance and the film she did win all three major film critics awards as well as a Golden Globe and she should have been nominated)
Paul Giamanti, Sideways
Liam Neeson, Kinsey
Naomi Watts, Mulholland Drive
Bill Murray, Rushmore
Amy Adams, Arrival

Jim Carrey should’ve won an Oscar for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Terrific performance.

Jake Gyllenhaal – Nightcrawler
John Malkovich – Being John Malkovich
Sally Hawkins and Eddie Marsan – Happy Go Lucky
Sam Jackson – Django
Hong Chau – Downsizing
James Franco – The Disaster Artist
Jim Carrey – Truman Show and Man on the Moon
Toni Collette – Hereditary
Emily Blunt – A Quiet Place

The disaster that was The Departed’s acting campaign made worse with Leo and Blood Diamond. He should’ve been up for Departed with both Nicholson and Wahlberg in supporting.
