Oscar Nomination Snub #7
 Dreamgirls (2006) and The Dark Knight (2008)

Biggest Oscar Snubs #8c: Catherine O&#8217;Hara
Both Bill Condon&#8217;s Dreamgirls and Christopher Nolan&#8217;s  mega box-office hit The Dark Knight  received nominations from the Producers Guild and   the Directors Guild. Additionally, the Dreamgirls cast was shortlisted by the Screen Actors Guild, while The Dark Knight got a nod from  the Writers Guild. 
Both films went on to garner a total of 8 Oscar nominations &#8212; but not in the Best Picture, Best Director, or Best Screenwriting categories.

As per the Academy&#8217;s press release, &#34;because four  producers were listed on the credits form submitted for Oscar  consideration and Academy rules allow for only three producers – except  in &#8216;a rare and extraordinary circumstance&#8217; – to be nominated and  potentially receive Oscar statuettes, a meeting of the executive  committee was necessary.

Kate Winslet, Leonardio DiCaprio in Revolutionary Road (top); Winslet, David Kross in The Reader (bottom)

There were few surprises among the 2009 Golden Globe winners.
The biggest one was Kate Winslet&#8217;s best actress, drama, win for Revolutionary Road. Pundits everywhere &#8212; including those in this blog &#8212; were predicting either Anne Hathaway or Meryl Streep.
Sally Hawkins&#8216; best actress, comedy or musical, win may have caught some by surprise &#8212; those who were expecting Meryl Streep for the box-office hit Mamma Mia!. But considering that Hawkins has been a critical favorite (New York, Los Angeles, National Society of Film Critics) and that she&#8217;s a likely Oscar contender, Golden Globe prognosticators shouldn&#8217;t have been too shocked, even though Happy-Go-Lucky is hardly what one would [...]]]></description>
