10 Movies that were COMPLETELY snubbed by the 2019 Oscars Nominations

https://pxhere.com/en/photo/525635

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.

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

693

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

Washington College

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
