The Oscars investigation into Andrea Riseborough's To Leslie nomination prompts fans to think of their own wild snubs and Academy Awards surprises.
Following the Oscars announcing that it is conducting a review of campaign procedures, movie fans have made a hilarious meme examining other nomination snubs and surprises. In recent days, one 2023 Oscar nomination has stood out among a list of largely expected decisions. That nomination went to Andrea Riseborough, who earned it in the Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role category. Riseborough stars in the film To Leslie, which Michael Morris directed.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY The 2023 Oscars investigation has prompted fans to think of their own personal wild snubs and surprises. Movie fans have taken to Twitter to share their funny and sometimes legitimate Oscars snubs, including Shrek 2's Best Picture snub, Andrew Garfield's Best Supporting Actor snub for The Social Network, and Amy Adam's Best Actress snub for Arrival.
The reason was that To Leslie was totally off the radar in the lead-up to the Oscar nominations. The film made just $27,000 during its admittedly limited theatrical run, which made its nomination a shocking revelation for many critics and audiences alike. The funding of the film's awards season campaign has been brought into question.
The Academy Awards Has A Long History Of Controversies This is far from the first Academy Awards controversy. For a number of different reasons, nine nominations have been rescinded throughout the 95 years of the Academy holding its awards ceremony. That includes Charlie Chaplin's for his film The Circus at the first ceremony in 1929 to the most recent occurrence of Greg Russell, who was removed for Best Sound Mixing for 13 Hours in 2016.
