10 Movies that were COMPLETELY snubbed by the 2019 Oscars Nominations

Paddington 2 - Best Animated Feature

Giphy

With a 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, Paddington 2 was absolutely snubbed from the 2019 Oscars. It had beautiful animation and plenty of heart to go around.

Hereditary - Best Picture

Giphy

Horror films seldom see the Best Picture category, with Get Out barely squeezing past the dark comedy listing and The Silence of the Lambs' win coming in 1992, but Hereditary is a tense, thrilling, unpredictable film with a non-formulaic plot and many great performances to cap off a great idea for a story. (Not to mention it is SO scary.)

First Reformed (Ethan Hawke) - Best Actor

Giphy

This movie flew under the spectacle radar, but it is fantastic. Ethan Hawke drives the heart, or the lack of one, in this movie. It is modern, profound, and makes Viggo Mortensen in Green Book look unimpressive.

Sorry to Bother You - Best Picture and Best Director

Giphy

Sorry to Bother You is one of the great, pioneering absurdist commentaries to come out in this generation. First-time director Boots Riley deserves acclaim upon acclaim for this film, as it's premise is refreshing and every second of the movie is new and quirky. Yet no nominations.

Eighth Grade- Best Director

Giphy

Bo Burnham created an insanely relatable, absorbable film with Eighth Grade, as he directed every second to be familiar and brought the best out of his actors. Enough said.

A Quiet Place (Emily Blunt) - Best Actress

Giphy

Emily Blunt's performance in A Quiet Place sells the movie. This is a story about family and self-sacrifice. Both her and real life husband/ director John Krasinski would do anything for their children in this movie, but the intimate moments of the film are orchestrated by terrific acting by Blunt.

First Man- Best Cinematography

Giphy

This movie's best quality and the prime design of director Damien Chazelle is its cinematography. Every shot is built with suspense and builds character. Ryan Gosling and Claire Foy shine in this movie as well, but the visuals accompany the sound design in the perfect manner.

Mandy (Nicolas Cage) - Best Actor

Giphy

This movie is absolutely bonkers, and Nicolas Cage is the reason why. Watch it and prove me wrong. Only he could play this role. That's it.

Won't You Be My Neighbor? - Best Documentary Feature

Giphy

This telling of the story of Mr. Rogers was a favorite to not only be nominated but WIN the documentary category. It received no such luxury. Absolutely wrong.

Aquaman - Best Visual Effects

Giphy

The main appeal of Aquaman was its visuals, and it was absolutely full of them. It should've easily beaten Solo: A Star Wars Story for a spot.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
