Top 10 Biggest Oscar Snubs

The 2026 Academy Awards are just around the corner, set to air on Sunday, March 15 on ABC and Hulu at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT. As we gear up for the big event, let’s take a trip down memory lane and revisit some of the most significant films and stars who have unfortunately been overlooked by the Oscars.

One standout movie that made waves this year is “KPop Demon Hunters,” featuring the talented Arden Cho in the role of Rumi. This animated film has received a nomination for Best Animated Film, marking Arden Cho’s first trip to the Oscars. She shared that she “never imagined” being part of this prestigious event and is looking forward to capturing countless memories with “a million photos.”

On the other side of the coin, there were some surprising omissions from this year’s Oscar nominations. Fan-favorite celebrities like Ariana Grande and Paul Mescal didn’t receive nods despite their outstanding work in the industry. It just goes to show that even the brightest stars can sometimes be left out in the cold when it comes to recognition from the Academy.

In a stunning turn of events, the film “Sinners” has garnered a record-breaking 16 Oscar nominations, solidifying its place in history as the most nominated film of all time. This achievement has certainly turned heads and raised expectations for its performance at the upcoming Academy Awards ceremony.

As we eagerly anticipate the 2026 Oscars, it’s worth reflecting on the past and recognizing the talent and hard work that have gone unacknowledged in the eyes of the Academy. Who will emerge victorious this year? Tune in to ABC and Hulu on March 15 to find out!
