Top Ten Biggest Oscar Snubs – Nominations #10
Clip posted by AnwarNieninqe
It’s that time of the year…
Note: Those aren’t my personal top-ten snubs, e.g., I couldn’t care less if, say, Dreamgirls got nominated or not, and I certainly don’t think Bruce Beresford deserved a best director nod for the coy Driving Miss Daisy. But lots of people did think that Dreamgirls and Beresford deserved Oscar recognition — and that’s what this list is all about.
So, here they are, in installments — the list got to be much too long — from #10 to #1:
10
- Michael Nyman for The Piano (1993), The End of the Affair (1999)
- Gordon Willis for The Godfather (1972), The Godfather Part II (1974), All the President’s Men (1976), Annie Hall (1977), Manhattan (1979), etc.
- Caleb Deschanel for The Black Stallion (1979, above in a youtube montage), Being There (1979)
People nominated — or not nominated — in the "technical" categories tend to be ignored by most of the media and Oscarwatchers in general.
So, it’s not like there was widespread outrage over the fact that Michael Nyman’s haunting scores, and Caleb Deschanel’s and Gordon Willis‘ masterful camerawork failed to receive Academy Award nominations. Even so, many were outraged, and I felt that Nyman, Deschanel, and Willis should be included in this top-ten list to point out that major Oscar snubs do occur in the lesser-publicized categories as well.
