Top 10 Acting Oscar SNUBS of 2022

[@Jared_Wignall]

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.

[@nikitamohan3390]

he deserved that nomination more than Judd hirsh. Academy seems to favor older respected actors than recognizing a younger talent!

[@rocky5000100]

I'm still surprised he never got a nomination for there will be blood.

[@stewartoneill8419]

He's a pretty terrible actor in my eyes. Always seems like he's trying too hard. The Riddler was the worst part of the Batman, pretty much thanks to him. He's only really been good when he's mute (Little Miss Sunshine) or borderline retarded (Prisoners)

[@samuelbarber6177]

I love Javier Bardem in No Country For Old Men, but Dano really deserved at least a nomination for There Will Be Blood.

[@perryjones7771]

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

[@mikenavis2745]

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

[@perryjones7771]

She didn’t play

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!

Totally agree with you with Dolly De Leon!!!!!!!! I love her in “Triangle Of Sadness“ 🌻💋 xo Flo

[@craiganderson5813]

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.

[@paulvoorhies8821]

Matt Reeves for Director? Screenplay? Nah. I won’t fight you on the other two though.

[@Antonio_Ortiz]

Cinematography for sure. I was kind of surprised when it wasn't.

[@haemaincinema6331]

I agree with everything except screenplay. That was the one thing I absolutely disliked about that otherwise great flick.

Great but acting snubs.

[@K0m30ng]

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 😢

[@sigmauster4879]

Yeah. Ben Wishaw was my favorite performance in Women Talking (which I absolutely love btw). He would've been my number 2 pick to win best supporting actor but sadly he wasn't even nominated anywhere

[@K0m30ng]

[@poett8875]

I think a nomination was fair. But her winning was pretty weird to me.

[@jorgeamaya6407]

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.

[@Sharpe1502]

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.

Thank you for putting Dolly De Leon in your top 10 acting Oscar snub lists!!!! 🌻💋 xo Flo

[@thrawncaedusl717]

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).

[@timgriffin3368]

Totally agreed and detest the overused 'snub' word. Agree with your two only, not Viola, not Paul, not any other Except Best Screenplay for The Menu.

[@mv21295]

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.

[@FloSatineXavier]

Totally agree with you about Dolly De Leon on being a better winner than Jamie Lee Curtis for the best supporting actress Oscar!!! 💋🌻 xo Flo

[@paulvoorhies8821]

Thank you for the JLC comment. Honey, that milk was waaaay past its expiration date well before Oscar night. P-U that smelled.

[@marrmart7690]

[@55555gino]

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

[@mcalcock2241]

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).

[@patrarus6097]

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

[@jackbennersmoviereviews]

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.

[@markwildfeuer6778]

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.

[@collinwoodresident]

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.

[@jonathanvelazquezph.d.2719]

I wouldn't replace her nomination either

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

[@smurfyboy92]

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

[@Chinoiserie9839]

Agree...people disliking Riseborough's performance are absolutely blind to the two elephants in the room. Blonde and The Fabelmans. They should have been the two movies that should not be included that category.

[@paulvoorhies8821]

De Armas’s nom was a joke. She was so winsome in Knives Out though, a far superior performance.

[@marrmart7690]

I agree...but meashel williams mus go to supporting actross...and take the anthir everything everywhere actross...becase her acting simple. And must snub viola i dont feel she was good.

[@Chinoiserie9839]

​@@marrmart7690to be fair...it's like she already done that role before.

[@timgriffin3368]

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

[@pophector]

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.

[@professionalspinner9292]

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.

[@subinmdr]

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

[@HoosierCubby73]

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.

[@marcor7044]

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

[@poett8875]

I think Robbie’s performance in Babylon is underrated as hell. She’s pretty much flawless in the film. The “Hello College” scene and the crying on command scene should’ve been way more than enough to secure her a nomination imo.

[@marcor7044]

@@poett8875 EXACTLY, how many actors you know have scenes where they can just flip through emotions like that?

[@DevaNeeramanii]

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.

[@APineappleKnight]

Paul Dano deserved a nod for Prisoners too

[@johnnolan5579]

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.

[@paulvoorhies8821]

Honestly, I didn’t even bother to see it. Sometimes, a trailer tells you everything you need to know about a film. I had zero interest from the get go.

[@paulvoorhies8821]

@@marrmart7690 Well, if you really think about it, a supporting performance nominated in a lead category is a lot less problematic than a lead performance that gets placed in the supporting category. I mean, if a la Anthony Hopkins in Silence, an actor can make an 18 minute performance be so memorable that it wins in the lead category, well then more power to the actor. The short performance that is so impactful that it wins in lead is far more difficult to pull off than the other way around. Louise Fletcher is another great example of this.

The Stephanie Hsu nomination was deserved, imo

[@zentraveler1834]

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.

[@khoohockleong7585]

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.

[@esock2001]

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

[@bethd1480]

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.

[@SS4Luxray]

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.

[@bev9708]

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!!!!

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.

[@decidubirdman1674]

I firmly believe Robert Pattinson, Paul Dano, and Zoë Kravitz should've gotten in for best actor, supporting actor, and supporting actress for The Batman. Those performances were absolutely incredible. Pattinson was perfect as both Batman and Bruce Wayne, something many actors struggle with as they almost always prioritize one or the other. Dano gave the most terrifying and twisted performance of a comic villain since Ledger's Joker. Kravitz brought so much complexity and character to a role that's far too often reduced to a sex symbol/fan service. All three of them were breathtaking in that movie and everyone I know who saw it was shocked when the nominees were announced and none of them got any recognition. All three of them are in my opinion the biggest acting Oscar snubs of 2022

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.

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.

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.

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.

The fabelmans film for diroctor... personal film

[@Clouden3]

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.

[@CarrCab]

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

[@armanimartinez8105]

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

[@cwalter-iz5hl]

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

[@samuelzins5089]

Paul Dano was amazing in the Fablemans. I can't believe he didn't get in

[@brademge6638]

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.

Triangle of Sadness is a masterpiece of cinema

[@DitalianCole]

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

[@Thebalancewitch1134]

Brian, I love love love your videos but one thing working against Viola Davis was the historical revision of the Woman King. The role the Dahomey Amazons played in facilitating the transatlantic slave trade made Viola’s selection very politically dangerous. I think there was an understanding among the Academy that recognizing Davis’s turn would open them up to a conversation about why we chose to celebrate a group of people who enslaved and sold Africans to the Europeans. Along with the producers and writers being white women, it created a situation that was best avoided in the interest of protecting the Academy from scandal.

[@Thebalancewitch1134]

I don’t think it’s fair but I think it was the strongest reason, maybe.

[@arontamas5639]

It just makes no sense if Ana could make it for a movie which received terrible reviews why Mia did not with a high acclaimed one?

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

[@laurajones1773]

He should’ve been nominated over Judd Hirsch imo.

[@emillion4470]

I feel very strongly that supporting categories should not be limited to 5 each. There've been many years when there is a legitimate struggle to fill nominations for best lead(s) but celebrated films frequently have an embarrassment of riches in an ensemble worthy of supporting nominations. Hundreds of magnificent performances battling it out for just 5 spots each seems particularly unfair. Expanding maybe to 8-10 per supporting category should rectify this.

[@DOUGLANDER]

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

[@leightonbate7516]

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

[@laurajones1773]

He should have been nominated over Judd Hirsch imo.

[@chrisperkins3561]

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.
