Oscars 2022 Snubs - So Many Amazing Performances Were Shockingly Not Recognized!

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film CriticLet’s start with something most of us can agree on: Jimmy Kimmel, who I’m a fan of, is probably not the ideal messenger for how to fix the Oscars, if indeed they need fixing. Kimmel hosted the Academy Awards in 2017, and did a lively enough job of it that he was asked back to host again the following year.

record-breaking Oscar nominee Kenneth Branagh, “Belfast” is a semi-autographical film about a young boy named Buddy who lives in Belfast, Ireland in the late 1960s. His childhood is uprooted when civil war hits, forcing his tight-knit, working-class family to choose whether they should leave their longtime home.

No Spide-Man? No Peace! At least according to director Kevin Smith, who has xpressed his vehement displeasure about the Oscar snub of Spider-Man: No Way Home from the Best Picture Oscar nominees.

Seth Rogen has a theory about why the Oscars ratings haven’t been stellar in the past years.

earlier this week. “They got 10 slots. They can’t give one to the biggest f—ing movie of like the last three years?”Smith was referring to a change in the nomination process this year ahead of the March 27 Oscars ceremony.

Zack Sharf Kevin Smith isn’t happy with the Academy for snubbing “Spider-Man: No Way Home” in the best picture race. Despite earning critical acclaim and being one of the highest-grossing films ever made with over $750 million in the U.S. and over $1.7 billion globally, the latest “Spider-Man” film earned just a single Oscar nomination.

Even as it celebrates its 27 Oscar nominations this week, Netflix unveiled its mega-slate of 86 titles for 2022. That’s far more than any traditional studio this year.

Yet some suspect such measures are merely a case of deckchair rearrangement. “I don’t believe the host ever has an impact on ratings,” says Anne Thomson, editor-at-large at IndieWire. Indeed previous efforts to woo the under 30s with hosts such as Seth Macfarlane, James Franco and Anne Hathaway have been spectacular flops.

“It’s so great for representation and it’s also grounded in normalization,” says Naomi star Kaci Walfall of the barrier breaking CW superhero series from Ava DuVernay and Jill Blankenship. “So it’s a story that is just about a 16-year old girl whose Black, who happens to be a superhero and I think that is supercool ‘cause it’s not something we see, it’s not something we see,” Walfall added.

Feeling the love — from the Academy and each other! When the 2022 Oscar nominations were announced in February, two couples earned nods for their performances throughout the year.

The show will go on — “100 percent.” After Adele tearfully confirmed her Las Vegas residency had been postponed, the Grammy winner is opening up about having to rearrange her plans.

Zack Sharf Josh Brolin has a bone to pick with the Academy after it nominated “Dune” for 10 Oscars but shut out filmmaker Denis Villeneuve from the director category. “Dune” landed in the best picture race and earned nominations in every individual crafts category, which made Villeneuve’s omission one of the biggest nomination snubs of the year.

Hollywood’s elite and the North American working class didn’t have much in common before COVID-19, but their differences are becoming more evident two years into the pandemic.

When it comes to low Academy Awards TV ratings, Seth Rogen doesn’t see the big deal.

Zack Sharf Seth Rogen is baffled by Hollywood’s need to have people care about the Academy Awards. Rogen, speaking to Insider to promote his new Super Bowl commercial with Paul Rudd, came to the conclusion that “maybe people just don’t care” about the Oscars anymore, and Hollywood should stop making it a priority to ensure they do.“I don’t get why movie people care so much if other people care what awards we give ourselves,” Rogen said. “To me, maybe people just don’t care.

Thanks to his 2022 Oscar nomination for his work on the Disney movie "Encanto," Lin-Manuel Miranda could become the 17th person ever to earn an EGOT.  "EGOT" stands for Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony, the four major awards in show business.
