Yesterday was Oscar nomination day, which means that ever since, everyone has been boo-hooing on behalf of the people who seemed like shoe-ins for noms but didn’t make the final list. Over the past 24 hours, it seems pretty agreed that these were the most offensive snubs of 2011:
- Really—Michelle WIlliams got the nod for “Blue Valentine,” but Ryan Gosling didn’t? They were both awesome.
- And no Justin Timberlake or Andrew Garfield for Best Supporting Actor in “The Social Network”?
- How could Christopher Nolan not get nominated for Best Director after making the insanely creative “Inception”?
- Cold diss. Everyone and their mom (Christian Bale, Amy Adams, and Melissa Leo) got nominated for their acting in “The Fighter,” with the exception of Mark Wahlberg, the movie’s lead.
- And what about Mila Kunis for Best Supporting Actress in “Black Swan“?
But after the jump, let’s go back in time and look at the snubs of yesteryear we still can’t believe.
