Zac’s performance was astounding, shame on y’all for the snub.

It’s not the oscars fault, it’s A24’s fault for not releasing the movie on schedule. That’s the only reason why the movie wasn’t nominated, due to a schedule eligibility.

I think politics inside the industry. Another assumptions would be: the writers and casting crew of the iron claw didn't listened to Hollywood's diversity bullshit. You know like forcefully casting indian, asian, black, Mexican and every race in a movie to ruin the story.

[@Bene_Gesserit]

In this movie Zac Efron disappeared and flawlessly transformed into Kevin Von Erich in a once in a lifetime role. Zac gracefully showed what a real ascension from a Disney child actor to a dramatic versatile movie star looks like. The snub was beyond questionable and unfathomable. Such a disappointing decision from the academy.

[@owenhuyge]

I liked Cillian Murphy's performance in Oppenheimer as much as the next guy, but Zac would have been my pick to win. These prestigious awards always miss too much to mean anything significant in my mind.

[@marrmart7690]

Zac efron and cast sooo stubid...they release film in awards seasion..must be early

[@vb9677]

100%!!!!! I literally never cared about Zac Efron before this movie, wasn’t interested in the comedies/teen movies. He was stellar in The Iron Claw and cemented himself as a seriously versatile actor. Cannot believe he wasn’t nominated.
