The 97th Oscars Nominations Announcement has just concluded and we now know which movies will go head-to-head with each other during the year's most prestigious awards ceremony.

There are the usual surprise snubs, with Dune: Part Two and Wicked picking up over a dozen nominations between them but receiving nothing in the Best Director category for filmmakers Denis Villeneuve and Jon M. Chu.

Demi Moore, meanwhile, has received a Best Actress nod, only for her The Substance co-star Margaret Qualley to be frozen out. On the plus side, Thunderbolts* star Sebastian Stan did manage to land a Best Actor nomination for his role in The Apprentice as Donald Trump.

In what was a mostly dismal year for comic book adaptations in 2024, the superhero genre has been completely locked out. While these movies rarely make it into the big categories, there's nothing for Deadpool & Wolverine in the technical ones despite Disney and Ryan Reynolds mounting a robust FYC campaign.

I don't know that "Snubbed" is the right word to use here. Did anyone really expect DP&W to pick up a lot of noms? MAYBE for visual effects, but I don't know that it rose above the field of nominees (though I admittedly have only seen Dune 2.)

TheVisionary25 - 1/23/2025, 9:22 AM

@Clintthahamster - agreed

Outside of VFX , it was gonna be a long shot fir anything else

AC1 - 1/23/2025, 9:36 AM

@Clintthahamster - it definitely should've been nominated for VFX, I watched a breakdown for how a lot of the movie was made and some of the stuff they did was legit kinda mind blowing - like Paradox's face in the closeup where Cassandra does her weird psychic finger shit is a complete digital recreation of his head (not just the bits where his face distorts when the fingers move around, literally the entire head) which is nuts considering it looks completely photoreal and has no "uncanny valley" issues at all

?si=5MeMTcomnzPrNljY

Corridor Crew breakdown, the specific shot I mention is about 13:00 but the whole segment is really cool

Clintthahamster - 1/23/2025, 10:01 AM

@AC1 - Like I said, I could see it maybe getting a nomination for VFX.

Baf - 1/23/2025, 10:09 AM

@Clintthahamster - Agree, not snubbed. Maybe should have tried for best animated.

Apophis71 - 1/23/2025, 11:14 AM

@Clintthahamster - Even on the FX side I wouldn't say it would be likely to win as on every potential award I could list a few more likely to do so come to mind. I LOVED the film but it was never the sort that was likely to be taken 'seriously' for an Oscar of any kind, some awards sure I could see as some lean more towards what the GA embraced en masse (and some even voted for by such as the MTV ones) and less so the normal quantifiable metrics of quality the industry itself would deem 'worthy'.

DocSpock - 1/23/2025, 9:12 AM

Mostly a bunch of crap from the usual weirdo Hollywood circle jerk crowd.

“DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE Snubbed”

Good. It sucked!

vectorsigma - 1/23/2025, 9:18 AM

Ill light a molotov and throw it at the oscars committee for snubbing d&w.

I mean it made me throw a punch in the air in all joyful glory when Johnny appeared. The special effects of those scenes with him are so believable i really thought he was there with d&w

BraveNewClunge - 1/23/2025, 9:26 AM

@BraveNewClunge - lolz!

Fares - 1/23/2025, 9:20 AM

I don't know if the Oscars have a limit of 5 spots for the best director nominations and I'm yet to see any of the movies in that category, but I'm really surprised to not see Denis Villeneuve on that list.

TheVisionary25 - 1/23/2025, 9:23 AM

@Fares - I still don’t understand how you nominate something for Best Picture but don’t nominate the director…

Fares - 1/23/2025, 9:39 AM

@TheVisionary25 - I can't pretend to have a clear stance on that. How consequential is the direction to the quality of a film? We may agree that a director doesn't deserve a nomination if their movie isn't nominated for best film, but if it is, does that guarantee a best direction nomination for them? I sometimes feel that the writing is just as consequential to the quality of the film as the direction, but we don't really talk about it as much.
All that aside, if we assume that direction and movie quality go so hand in hand, it reads here like the Academy decided that Dune isn't one of the top 5 nominees for best film.

TheVisionary25 - 1/23/2025, 9:49 AM

@Fares - that’s true

It’s a team effort but I view the director as the captain of the ship that steers it into the right direction or the one they want so if a movie comes together we’ll enough to be nominated for an Oscar then I feel they should be nominated

Apophis71 - 1/23/2025, 11:24 AM

@TheVisionary25 - Cos there is twice as many films up for best film as there is for best director? I mean that is kinda why they are able to narrow down most likely few to get best film cos if it isnt also on a best director and best Screenplay type list then...

Apophis71 - 1/23/2025, 11:28 AM

@Fares - The way I see it is they opted a while back to have an extra five slots for worth consideration overall as a package but not top five shortlist material when it comes to best film so they can show more fan favourite type film clips during the show that are less likely to stand much chance of winning the big prizes.

TheVisionary25 - 1/23/2025, 11:59 AM

@Apophis71 - I guess so , that’s a good point

However if you are gonna nominate more movies then maybe they should expand directors list

Apophis71 - 1/23/2025, 1:05 PM

@TheVisionary25 - Think at one point it was only five up for best film too, as I say think they only expanded it to have more of the popular types films to show clips from for TV but yeh, increasing best director or subdividing so more than one best director (such as a musical/comedy seperate to drama/action one like some split things up) would likely be a solid idea.

TheNewYorker - 1/23/2025, 9:21 AM

“Snubbed”?! Hahaha overall.. it was a shit film. Dune on the other hand wasn’t.

TheVisionary25 - 1/23/2025, 9:27 AM

I have yet to see almost all of these movies lol.

I am glad to see Sebastian Stan nominated for the Apprentice though..

However I don’t think he’ll win , that’s gonna be Adrien Brody most likely but still nice regardless!!.

Apophis71 - 1/23/2025, 1:09 PM

@TheVisionary25 - Even if his performance was undeniably the best one going in any movie can't help thinking some would be reluctant to vote for that part so yeh, doubt he will win for the same sort of reason why I likely won't watch the film for at least five years (but am interested to consider it when things are more in the rear view mirror).

BritishMonkey - 1/23/2025, 9:29 AM

Ok.
Now explain why and how Deadpool and Wolverine could've possibly been snubbed. Unless you're just gossiping and making it relative for here.

BeyondtheFuture - 1/23/2025, 9:32 AM

Anora is the best one I’ve seen, sad to see Better Man didn’t get much it’s really very very good.

ObserverIO - 1/23/2025, 11:18 AM

@BeyondtheFuture - Did you mean A Different Man?

IronMan616 - 1/23/2025, 9:37 AM

Emilia Perez should've been leading the Razzie nominations, no wonder the Oscars are a joke.

CharlesLeeRay - 1/23/2025, 9:40 AM

I love D&W and I now the Oscar's are pretty much corrupted; but why in the hell D&W would be in any nomination, anyway?

CapA - 1/23/2025, 12:56 PM

@CharlesLeeRay - Because Hugh Jackman was phenomenal.

@BritishMonkey -

You guys really woke up early just to come on this site and try to feel superior. Obviously Deadpool & Wolverine is not winning all the Oscars, Josh knows this we all know this. You got baited by someone who gets money for your comments. Just take a look at all the negativity you guys brought today, not even on an article about race or politics, but just over the idea that D&W will win awards. Shame.

TheFinestSmack - 1/23/2025, 10:00 AM

@UncleHarm1 - I don't gaf about Deadpool winning anything. I just think the Oscars, and especially this year's nominations, are boring. But please do be careful. I'd hate to see you fall off that high horse of yours.

DocSpock - 1/23/2025, 10:03 AM

@UncleHarm1 -

You must be drunk or delusional. My comment had NOTHING to do with DP+W or politics. I don't think DP+W should win many, if any, Oscars.

I, like MANY people, just see the obvious. The Oscars are mostly given to a bunch of agenda driven crap that almost no one watches.

The Oscars used to be hugely popular, coming in 2nd to Superbowls, as the 2nd most popular worldwide TV spectacle. Now it gets about 1/12 the viewership it got 25 years ago. Oscar viewership parties, again only 2nd to Superbowls, are now so few as to be meaningless.

Comicmoviejunki - 1/23/2025, 10:27 AM

@UncleHarm1 - all I'm going to say is this, you're a complete idiot and I don't have time for the ridiculousness. Thanks anyway.

BritishMonkey - 1/23/2025, 1:14 PM

@UncleHarm1 - Early? It was like 2pm when I read it and when it was posted lol
I could've even care if it did or didn't win awards, just wanna know the justification for it being supposedly snubbed.

TheVisionary25 - 1/23/2025, 9:58 AM

Seemed like a long shot but I wish Denzel was nominated for Gladiator 2…

Some might say he was just Denzel in period clothing and while I can see that , I thought he still did great and was the best part of the movie

TheOtherOn - 1/23/2025, 9:59 AM

Deadpool and Wolverine got "snubbed" from Oscars? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They surely got snubbed from Razzies, for being illogical and plot holes filled movie that made billions because of some nostalgia cameos and lame one-liner jokes that sound even dumber and more stupid when you hear them multiple times.
