How is an “Oscar snub” different from a movie just not making the cut for nomination? Who decides if it was a snub or not? Is it subjective?
In: Culture
It’s totally subjective, elaborate, and expensive. Jockeying for Oscar position can begin years before a movie is even released. Notable studios, producers, directors, writers, or actors can create “Oscar buzz” by mere rumor or suggestion, and fans and critics are ever-vigilant. But … such treatment only applies to a select few of all movies released, so failing to nominate a “non-buzzy” movie isn’t a snub; on the flip side, there’s always room for one or two “dark horse” contenders to slip in to the mix … but not much room.
