Mia Goth, Anya Taylor-Joy and Toni and Lupita gave PHENOMENAL horror movie performances but were snubbed.

I’m still amazed how Paul Dano has never been nominated for an Academy Award. You’d think he would have one nomination by now, but nope.

I'm absolutely thrilled that you listed Mia Goth as #1. THAT was my favorite performance of last year.

I definitely think, 'The Batman' should've been nominated for Best Cinematography, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay & Best Costume Design. They definitely need to respect horror & comic films more.

I'm happy that Dolly de Leon is getting her flowers! She's a lead actress in an upcoming movie and I'm so excited for her!

Rooney Mara, Claire Foy, and Jessie Buckley from Women Talking were completely snubbed at the acting categories, i'm so devastated for that. One of the best movies of 2022 featuring some of the most stand out acting of that year yet the Academy overlooked it. Atleast Sarah Polley took home the Best Adapted Screenplay win so i can sleep peacefully for that but still i'm sad for the actresses 😢

Removing JLC isnt controversial. I stick to my opinion almost a year later. That nomination should have never happened

My top 10 snubs 1. Danielle Deadwyler - Till 2. Felix Kammerer - All Quiet on the Western Front 3. Dolly de Leon - Triangle of Sadness 4. Emma Thompson - Good Luck to You, Leo Grande 5. Mia Goth - Pearl 6. Tang Wei - Decision to Leave 7. Lashana Lynch - The Woman King 8. Woody Harrelson - Triangle of Sadness 9. Zlatko Buric - Triangle of Sadness 10. Nicholas Hoult - The Menu

As someone who didn’t like Triangle of Sadness, I personally think it was a crime that Dolly De Leon didn’t get nominated. That was one of my favorite performances of the year. A lot of people didn’t like the third act of the movie but that was my favorite part of the movie simply because I loved De Leon so much. I hope she gets cast in more things because she blew me away. I’d love to see Rian Johnson cast her in the next Knives Out movie. Also, are we really gonna say that Pearl was Goth’s once in a lifetime performance? Have you seen Infinity Pool? That girl is always on top of her game and she’ll 100% win an Oscar one day.

Yesssss I was waiting for Mia Goth and seeing her at #1 got me pumped! The horror needs its recognition and it's atrocious how Goth didn't get at least the nomination.

I don’t use the word “snub” lightly. To me, for it to be a snub it has to have been a contender to actually win. Performances who we consider deserving 4th or 5th picks are not snubs and just natural results of competition. With that said, there were two snubs last year imo: Danielle Deadwyler and Top Gun Maverick for cinematography (I could also argue Mia Goth, but we all knew that wasn’t happening).

Mine would be: 1.Margot Robbie- Babylon (She should have won for this fight me) 2.Danielle Deadwyler- Till 3.Jessie Buckley- Women Talking 4.Diego Calva- Babylon 5.Pierfrancesco Favino- Nostalgia 6.Ralph Fiennes- The Menu 7.Dolly de Leon- Triangle of Sadness 8.Keke Palmer- Nope 9.Paul Dano- The Fabelmans 10.Nina Hoss- Tár

Danielle Deadwyler and Tang Wei were Oscar-worthy and on par with Yeoh and Blanchett. It would have been the most epic lineup, but alas... We have entire lineup of Supporting Actresses who were better than Jamie Lee Curtis whose Oscar aged like milk, only months after it happened. Whether we talk about Dolly De Leon, Keke Palmer, Jessie Buckley, or Nina Hoss, each of these snubbed women would be a better winner than JLC. As for Viola... Well, what happened? Frances Fisher happened. She made people believe Davis and Deadwyler were safe, something we all knew was not true, Blanchett and Yeoh being the only one safe.

The last long shot while credits are rolling in Pearl deserves an Oscar alone. Her facial expressions are just out of this world

My Top Ten Acting Oscar Snubs of 2022 1. Danielle Deadwyler (Till) 2. Viola Davis (The Woman King) 3. Paul Dano (The Fabelmans) 4. Dolly de Leon (Triangle of Sadness) 5. Tom Cruise (Top Gun: Maverick) 6. Jessie Buckley (Women Talking) 7. Nina Hoss (TAR) 8. Olivia Colman (Empire of Light) 9. Eddie Redmayne (The Good Nurse) 10. Emma Thompson (Good Luck to You, Leo Grande)

I was completely awestruck by Mia Goth’s soliloquy at the close of Pearl. Couldn’t agree more, although the movie itself was a bit thin I believe.

Throughout awards season last year, I was really hoping Paul Dano would finally receive his first Oscar nomination for The Fabelmans. As much as Judd Hirsch was great in his limited screen time. If I were to nominate a Supporting performance in Fabelmans, I would’ve given it to Dano.

I think Andrea Risborough gave the performance of the year in To Leslie. She deserved that nomination and I actually think she should have won.

Paul Dano deserved a nod for Prisoners too

Kerry Condon was magnificent in Te Banshees of Inisherin. One of the best performances of the year in all categories

1 Margot robbie in Babylon it was a great performer from her 2 Diego Calva in Babylon it so dumb that Academy did not nominations 3 Owen Teague in to Leslie his performance is so underrated 4 Claire Foy In Woman Talking it was a powerful performance 5 Paul Dano in the fabelmans, he is not crazy in this movie 6 Hugh Jackman in The Son I know that movie wasn't great, but his performance was heartbreaking 7 Brad Pitt in Babylon a great it was good

6 months later and I still don't understand all the anti Jamie Lee Curtis sentiment. To me she was the strongest supporting performer in the final lineup, and by far the most transformative performance. She also is in a true supporting role, unlike her co-star, Stephanie Hsu, who was in fact the second lead in the movie.

Till is a great movie to me especially for the story, the acting, and what it represents which was so disrespected by the academy.

To me, the biggest acting nomination snub last year was Eden Dambrine in "Close". Although "Close" got nominated for Best International Feature, I don't think this great film got nearly the recognition it deserved. As young as he is, Eden Dambrine surely deserved a Best Actor nomination for this powerful film exploring the effects of homophobic innuendo.

Some of my personal favorites of the year that didn’t get nominated were Rebecca Hall (Resurrection), Thandiwe Newton (God’s Country), Zar Amir Ebrahimi (Holy Spider), Mark Rylance (Bones and All), Ty Simpkins (The Whale), Jeremy Pope & Gabrielle Union (The Inspection), Janelle Monaè (Glass Onion) and Gabriel LaBelle (The Fabelmans)

Love the videos, man. Keep it up!!!

Agreed 1000% with this top 10 2022 snubs. It's one of the reasons why I have very little faith in the Academy because 1: we clearly have very different tastes in movies and acting performances and 2: the fraudulence of campaigning. Now I pay some attention only for the couture.

100% agree with you on Hoss, and Tar generally. And yours is definitely a more compelling Best Actress lineup than what the Academy came up with. Would be interested in a Woman King video--I thoroughly enjoyed the film, and it felt like a good throwback to the historical epics of the 90's (which the Academy loved).

We all know that AMPAS has a bias against performances that are not in English, even though they're the industry awards more open to it. Tang Wei nomination would be more surprising than Riseborough.

Brian, I agree with you about Paul Dano and Danielle. Thanks for another excellent commentary.

100% agreed with your #1 pick. I'm so looking forward to Maxxxine next year.

I was upset that Paul Dano didn’t get the nomination. I hope he gets one soon. As for the rest, Us could have been released during the fall season, Till was overshadowed during the Oscar season, The Woman King had been hit by controversies and Decision To Leave was underlooked.

dolly de leon, YES! ... and not just cause i'm from the philippines. (: thanks for another great video. looking forward to the next one.

Very unexpected #1, but that was such a jawdropping and galvanizing performance of madness (Brian, Did you see Infinity Pool with Alexander Skarsgard earlier this year? I'd say Mia's performance is even more insane and batshit crazy in that movie than even Pearl if we're talking horror) The Danielle Deadwyler, Dolly De Leon, and Viola Davis snubs STILL sting, they were all phenomenal and easily should have replaced 2 in lead and 1 in supporting. I could totally see your reasoning for Nina Hoss, and much like Marina De Tavira in Roma, she would have been a 100% left field nomination that would have been totally deserved. A lot of good inspired choices, I thought Keke Palmer was electric in Nope and would have been a great nomination either in lead or supporting. Tang Wei was also very good in Decision To Leave. Another great video, Brian! I hope we'll get to see this topic around February for this upcoming season, lol.

I'm just not a huge Paul Dano fan, maybe there's a lot of us? I get your Danielle reasoning, so so movie great performance But you knocked out De Armas for the same reasoning, it's subjective on your part, my part and ALLLLL of the Academy's part; one must never forget that. For nominations, that is. For wins, it's a whole other story. My only different What? For I loved him from start to finish was Ralph Fiennes in The Menu, heck, any bit of The Menu. Fiennes, as is often the case, was captivating, odd, he made you understand, if not cheer, but understand what and why he was doing it. SENSATIONAL THANK YOU

Nina Hoss was incredible in Tár and it's insane she wasn't nominated but the two mid supporting actress performances of Everything Everywhere were.

I still don’t get the Nina Hoss in TAR love, she is very good but doesn’t standout imo

Another fantastic video Brian 👏 The Best Actress line up 100% should have included Davis, Deadwyler, and Goth. Those 3 plus Blanchett and Yeoh would have made for an all time line up.

Jamie Lee Curtis won because she was able to combine slapstick with American cosmopolitan behaviour and inclinations. on a film that was a somewhat like a Hong Kong movie comedy gendres And she and Michelle Yeoh had some firecracker chemistry, more so than Cate Blanchett and Nona Hoss. Only Jamie Lee Curtis can undertake this semi-Asiatic role and that speaks a lot for someone with no background on this.

Tang Wei was my number 1 performance of the year im so glad you mentioned her!

The Woman King is phenomenal

Personally, I was not a fan of The Fabelmans. I found nothing groundbreaking, or innovative or daring in that film and was unimpressed by Michelle Williams' rather hammy performance, and I love her in just about everything she's done. I would have much rather seen Danielle Deadwyler get the nod instead.removed from Best Actress it was her, and replaced her with Danielle Deadwyler. And I also think Rachel Sennott was a total scene stealer in Bodies, Bodies, Bodies. I would have been thrilled if she had been nominated.

Aubrey Plaza --Emily the criminal Jessica Chastain---The good nurse Daniel Deadwyler ---Till Nina Hoss--- Tar Emma Thompson---Good luck ,leo Grande Olivia Coleman---Empire of light, Catherine clinch--The quiet girl, Anna Taylor joy---The menu, Seo Rae ---Decision to leave. Noemie Merlant.---Tar. my list for top 10 actress snub category. 2022.

Thanks for sharing 😊🍿🎥✨

Andrea Riseborough should have been considered for Possessor. Not that Leslie movie. As far as MY horror snub last year: Rebecca Hall in Resurrection. She also would have been my pick for The Night House a couple years earlier.

For Me in No Particular Order: Paul Dano - The Batman/The Fabelmans Rooney Mara & Ben Whishaw - Women Talking Sadie Sink - The Whale Janelle Monáe - Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery Aimee Lou Wood - Living Catherine Clinch - The Quiet Girl Frankie Corio - Aftersun Eden Dambrine - Close Ricardo Darín - Argentina, 1985 Robert Pattinson - The Batman & if voice acting was eligible Isabella Rossellini - Macel the Shell with Shoes On & Rosaile Chiang - Turning Red

Paul Dano derserved to be nominated , also Mark Ralyce deserved doble nomination one for best actor for The outfit and another one for Bones and Allí

women talking being snubbed even in a snubs list

Another outstanding performance that was overlooked by a lot of people is Harris Dickson who plays Carl in Triangle of Sadness. Especially in the first act when he’s auditioning and the elevator scene he brings so much energy to the scene which would otherwise bore you. There’s just so many subtle details in his performance that immerse you in his character.

NOPE being snubbed for sound and cinematography was insane, especially with the innovations made for the film

Dano is so good in The Fabelmans his subtlety brings real weight to the role. The scene where he sees the photo of Mitzi and Bennie and takes in just how happy she is but also how this happiness is because she is finally with the man she actually loves. Dano perfectly played the conflict of happiness but also real anguish and loss. It’s honestly my favorite moment in the film and it is all because of Dano.

I think if Till was centered around Emmitt, there’s no way the voters leave out of Best Picture and yes, Danielle absolutely deserved a nomination for Best Actress. Mia Goth’s snub was honestly disrespectful. The Oscars and the erasure of horror/science fiction and CBMs from major awards recognition is just wrong and should be addressed.

dude I so agree, Paul Dano in the Fabelmans was so good. I thought he deserved top 3 in that category

Thank you so much for putting Dolly De Leon for your top 10 acting Oscar snubs of 2022. She was definitely snub of a nomination because the movie, director & best screenplay were nominated for "Triangle Of Sadness". As much as I love Jamie Lee Curtis, I would have replace & take out Jamie Lee Curtis & put Dolly De Leon in her spot for best supporting actress Oscar but I guess she did not do enough campaigning for an Oscar nomination or she's not well known enough in the Academy voting members I suppose. 🌻💋 xo Flo

Nina Hoss was FANTASTIC. She deserved a nod also for Phoenix and Barbara (both German films). Please check them out

I agree 100% with your #1 choice!

I absolutely agree with Danielle Deadwyler in place of Ana DeArmas and Mia Goth in place of Andrea Riseborough. I do disagree about Jamie Lee Curtis, I think she was a great supporting character, and will give you one "bad boy" for suggesting Michelle Williams drop to supporting to possibly win, since you've done video's against that sort of thing happening. It's my top pet peeve about Oscars. When you do a video on the Woman King, can you comment on if you think the controversy about it may have had some influence in it not getting Oscar nominations. I work in a company with many immigrants from Western Africa, Nigeria, Mali and Ghana who were not pleased with this film and the depiction of the Dahomey tribe, which they considered a total lie and were very vocal about it, yet not so much on social media reviewers. I live in Nebraska, so I would think if I was hearing it here, the East and West Coast must have heard about it.

GREAT list, as always Brian , but I really have to throw my support behind your Paul Dano choice ... YES he should have 3 nominations by now, no question, and even one win for Love & Mercy!! Absolutely he should've gotten the nod over Judd Hirsch ... another example that the Academy goes for the showier performances over quiet or profoundly subtle ones. I think very few of us will disagree with you placing Mia Goth as #1 as much as we all hurt for Viola and Danielle!!!!

Claire Foy and Jessie Buckley lead actress in Women Talking Rooney Mara - supporting actress in Women Talking Ben Wishsaw supporting actor in Women Talking Long shots for supporting actress but my honorable mentions Judith Ivey , Shelia McCarthy and Michelle McLeod in Women Talking

My favourite ten performances of last year that were never going to get nominated: • Katia Pascariu-Bad Luck Banging or Looney Porn (Best Actress) • Florence Pugh-The Wonder (Best Actress) • Kíla Lord Cassidy-The Wonder (Best Supporting Actress) • Banks Repeta-Armageddon Time (Best Actor) • Jeremy Strong/Anthony Hopkins-Armageddon Time (Best Supporting Actor) • Daniel Deadwyler-Till (Best Actress) • Kristen Stewart-Crimes of the Future (Best Supporting Actress) • Rebecca Hall-Resurrection (Best Actress) • Rory Kinear-Men (Best Supporting Actor) • Noomi Rapace-You Won't be Alone (Best Supporting Actress) (Honourable Mention: Laura Galán & Carmen Machi-Piggy)

Totally agree with you on Mia Goth, she was magnificent in Pearl, definitely one of the best performances thought the year. Also, I think Albrecht Schuch was extraordinary in All Quiet on the Western Front, he was snubbed for sure

Great list. I'll disagree without controversial decision to remove Curtis. She deserved the nomination and win. I would take out Armas and Williams and add Deadwyler and Davis and keep Riseborough. I'd put Williams into Supporting Actress.

Mia Goth's long one take monolog in Pearl was so good. Reminded me of the mother from Requiem for a Dream.

Can you please rank all the best picture nominated movies of this year?

All the actresses in Women Talking, which I’ve only watched half of so far, but so great!

Personal top 10 list would be: 1. Danielle deadwyler- till 2. The main cast of women talking (Jessie Buckley, Rooney Mara, Clair Foy, Ben whistlaw) 3. Viola Davis - the woman king 4. Dolly DeLeon - triangle of sadness 5. Mia goth- pearl 6. Keke Palmer- nope 7. Nina Horres - tar 8. Taki Wang - decision to leave 9. Paul Dineo - The fabelman 10. Jennifer Lawrence - Causeaway

Mark Rylance was absolutely chilling. I was an extra in the film and was in a scene with him. Between takes he looked me in my eyes and he literally WAS Sully. I will never forget how terrified I was. He was phenomenal. Definitely some big and disappointing misses last year.

I am interested re your deep dive on The Woman King. Still MAD that it received not a single nomination as it was deserving in several categories - including Best Actress (glad you said it).

I haven't seen all of those films, but I completely agree about those that I have - Dolly De Leon, and particularly Mia Goth and Danielle Deadwyler. I would say those two gave the two best performances of the year (even over Yeoh and Blanchett). Goth also had other great performances in X and Infinity Pool it was her year - but all her performances were in horror films... It seems they only get the Academy's attention once or twice in 30 years (Misery and The Silence of the Lambs).

My top 10 snubs 1. Danielle Deadwyler (Till) 2. Mia Goth (Pearl) 3. Margot Robbie (Babylon) 4. Brad Pitt (Babylon) 5. Eddie Redmayne (The Good Nurse) 6. Diego Calva (Babylon) 7. Mark Rylance (Bones and All) 8. Dolly De Leon (Triangle of Sadness) 9. Paul Dano (The Fabelmans) 10. Eden Dambrine (Close Honorable mentions Tom Cruise (Top Gun: Maverick) Viola Davis (The Woman King) Emma Thompson (Good Luck to you, Leo Grande)

Yesss I was pulling so hard for Keke Palmer to get a nomination. The snubbing of Nope In every category was sinful but keke just gives such a compelling and entertaining performance

I would add Alexander Skarsgard and/or Nicole Kidman/Anya Taylor Joy from The Northman but particularly Skarsgard

Honestly, if Best Actress this year had been Cate Blanchett, Michelle Yeoh, Andrea Riseborough,Viola Davis & Danielle Deadwyler. It would've been an all time Best Actress lineup in my opinion. I like Michelle Williams in the Fablemans, but I much prefer Davis & Deadwyler. And for Ana De Armas, her performance isn't worth having to sit through Blonde I'm sorry

This was a tough year, but the one that really breaks my heart is Dolly.

Yes. I agree Viola Davis (Woman King) and Danielle Deadwyler (Till) not being nominated for their respective roles is absurd but not surprising. I'm sure there were and is Hollywood politics at play. Come on... the only Black woman who has given an Oscar-winning performance in a leading role is Halle Berry (Monster Ball) over the course of 90+ years... now that is beyond absurd... still not surprising for this AWARD SHOW.

Aimee Lou Wood in "Living".

The Danielle Deadwyler snub still hurts. She gave my favorite performance of 2022..

Heck yeah! I completely agree with Mia Goth being number 1. Ever since I saw Pearl last year, I have been saying that she should get nominated, but figured she'd get snubbed.

Paul Dano should have been nominated and won for Swiss Army Man- Daniel Radcliffe too.

Yes Brian, I DO want to see a video on The Woman King and what happened!

Viola Davis, while a talented artist, should have won for Doubt. But we’re at the point now if she isn’t nominated and winning for every appearance, somehow it comes off as a racist snub. Paul Dano is grossly underrated and should have been nominated for There will be Blood. Mark rylance is brilliant, however plays a variant of a core character. Margot Robbie is complete Oscar bate, yes bate. I say give it to her for Barbie, and let her live in infamy with Gwyneth Paltrow.

Michelle Williams gave her own unique interpretation of her role in The Fabelmans. Michelle in real life is a very dignified lady and in fact most of her other roles show that she is not a demurred housewife. But in The Fabelmans she tried to act out the role of a housewife filled with genuine fantasies do that even audiences can forgive her unfaithfulness. Her creative spark is more than Pail Dano when in supporting acting categories, they are the ones that give room for a mixed,,(mnnag of creative acts, so Michelle Williams in fact has turned the table around.

“WTH happened with Nope?” Exactly!!! Keke Palmer was 🔥!

Eddie Redmayne - Good Nurse

I personally think ben whishaw shouldve gotten a nomination for women talking. His subtle yet emotionally devastating performance wrecked me. His crying outbursts at the end really got me especially when i read that his character is suicidal. Really hoping he gets a nod this year for passages. Another subtle yet powerful performance of his

To me it was clear when I saw the Woman King that Viola would miss. There was no passion from critics, she was not the clear lead, summer action mainstream film and the fact that she is an actors actor resulted in a predictable SAG nom, Globes had a room they nominated her too, critics choice followed cause with those two noms already they want to predict the Oscars and Bafta likes her although that was the strongest precursor that she got. However all those automatic precursor noms without any passion should not be taken seriously, especially in these days.

If Jamie Lee Curtis was out of the race, I could see Stephanie Hsu jumping up for the Best Supporting Actress win

One snub per category: Actress: Mia Goth for Pearl. Actor: Diego Calva for Babylon. Supporting Actress: Dolly Del Leon for Triangle of Sadness Supporting Actor: Paul Dano for The Fabelmans The leading categories I kind of undestand, because Pearl was too horror, too camp, and Babylon too divisive. It's sad, but it's the way the Oscar has work for a long long time. The supporting categories are a lot weirder to me, because they were the two better performances in two big Oscar contenders, and were the ones getting most of the buzz and the nominations prior to. Dano, at this point, is just so sad, like he personally ofended everyone in the academy or something.

Ok i don't think it's a "snub" But i recently rewatched Bram stoker's dracula and Sadie Frost's performance as Lucy imo has been very underappreciated.

Kiki Palmer Literally acting like CHRIS TUCKER That was insane And only a few people have noticed that….. literally a female Chris Tucker

i was really mad that the batman wasn't nominated for more Oscars including best acting especially Robert Pattinson.

Triangle of Sadness is a masterpiece of cinema

Before you said it.. I said it’s gotta be Mia Goth! And I screamed “hell yes” when you said it!

If that Best Actress lineup had been Cate Blanchett, Michelle Yeoh, Mia Goth, Viola Davis, and Danielle Deadwyler...oh my God. And then supporting...I don't agree with Nina Hoss, she's barely in the film. But you take out JLC, and give her spot to Lashana Lynch? Now, we're talking.

I had hoped Ben Whishaw would make it for Women Talking,now he is underrated.

I don't even like The Fabelmans because I found it so saccharine and artificial, but if there's one award it deserves the most was for Paul Dano's impressively subdued performance, who gives the movie a real and grounded feel. Unlike most of his co-stars.

I'm for the Paul Dano appreciation group

YES, we want that Woman King video. Get to work, king.

One of the reasons The Woman King did not do so well is actually due to optics. The tribe the film is based on historically was deeply involved in the slavery movement in Africa at that time. There were several documentaries that came out around the same time that came out decrying the movie as propping up this tribe that had actually been involved with slavery. Lupita Nyong’o was actually going to be in the film in that same role and she actually turned it down when she found out what the history was. This is at least my understanding of what it happened. So it had nothing to do with Viola Davis‘s performance.

Viola is always 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
