Comment on Idk how they did it
Maven@lemmy.zip 1 week agoYeah but they weren’t snubbed for EVERY category.
Snubbing requires the merits of being included and yet not being included. How many of those 569 movies were documentaries, short films, and had screenplays adapted from stuff while being both live action AND animated?? 1… Borderlands… The best movie to ever exist.

Most are snubbed in every category. That’s why it’s considered an honor just to be nominated. Browsing Amazon Prime movies is proof of the thousands of garbage movies that never got a nomination in any category.
Off the top of my head I know The Room wasn’t nominated in any category. More seriously, Clerks, which has received many honors in later years including being added to the national film registry, received no Oscar nominations in any category.
Maybe Borderlands is misunderstood and in 20 years will be considered a masterpiece. :)

(the bit is that it isn’t eligible for most categories… It doesn’t have an original song… It’s not a short film… It isn’t an original screenplay…)
