While many in the film industry celebrated their nominations for 85th Academy Awards on Thursday, some Twitter users felt that others had been robbed.
The biggest snub appears to be Ben Affleck's absence from the nominees for Best Director. Many users, including Piers Morgan, felt that Argo made Affleck a worthy contender. Kathryn Bigelow and Quentin Tarentino were also hot topics among missing Best Picture nominees.
What do you think of this year's Oscar nominations? Who got snubbed in your opinion?
Which snub was the biggest among Oscar nominees?
No Oscar nomination for @channingtatum in Magic Mike?! He has my vote!— Erin Wendel (@ErinWendel) January 10, 2013
Ben Affleck snubbed for Best Director instantly renders this year's Oscars a farce. Well done, Academy. #Aaaaagggghhhgo— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) January 10, 2013
Sad Wes Anderson didn't get a nom for the Oscars… Lincolns good, but not THAT good… all rather predictable (obviously!)— James Lewis (@jlewisdesign) January 10, 2013
Hobbit didn't get a best picture nom or anything like that I think was because of these stupid critics and their feud with 3D technology.— Zachary The Green (@wheresgreen) January 10, 2013
"Hey Josh. It's War. So NO horses from Django or Lincoln got nominated? Makes you wonder what could've been." - War Horse calls his agent— John Moe (@johnmoe) January 10, 2013
Once again, no women nominated for Best Director. Only 1 woman, Kathryn Bigelow, has ever won. #wmnhist #oscarnoms— ShelbyKnox (@ShelbyKnox) January 10, 2013
Say it ain't so, Quentin Tarantino didn't get nominated for Best Director? Wow, the Academy needs to get their heads examined.— Elan (@elanmegaritz) January 10, 2013
The fact that @loopermovie didn't get a nom for Original Screenplay proves that the Academy doesn't know the definition of "Original"...— Christine Marie (@KittyCupcakes13) January 10, 2013
You know Ben Affleck invited Kathryn Bigelow to cry and make out on the yacht from the "Jenny From the Block" video.— Louis Virtel (@louisvirtel) January 10, 2013
Really surprised Matthew McConaughey didn't get a Supporting Actor nom for MAGIC MIKE. He owned every scene he was in. #OscarNoms— FilmFather (@FilmFather) January 10, 2013
