It would appear that the Academy Awards were to acknowledge the best of the best in 2015. Even though last year was stuffed with a series of great films, there were some odd developments regarding the nominees. While some nominations were to be expected (such as The Revenant and its astounding 12 noms), there were some surprising snubs, like Straight Outta Compton's small presence in the nominee circle and Ridley Scott missing out for The Martian for Best Director. Seeing so much talent get unrecognized has come as a surprise to the film community.
With the information obtained from USA Today, and Cinema Insiders, let's go over some of the major categories and discuss who and what has been snubbed.
The nominees for Best Picture are The Big Short, Bridge of Spies, Brooklyn, Mad Max: Fury Road, The Martian, The Revenant, Room and Spotlight. The surprising snubs in this category go to Carol, Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Straight Outta Compton. It would appear that a record-breaking sci-fi film would at least reach the nominee status of Best Picture, but it can't be denied that Mad Max was a visually stunning production.
