The 12 biggest snubs from the 2022 Oscar nominations

Though "Spider-Man: No Way Home" was the biggest box office hit of 2021 and is nearing the top five all-time best worldwide earners of all time, the movie was shut out of the best picture category.

10 titles were announced in the category on Tuesday morning and the Academy voters, as they often do, played it safe with dramas (with the exception of "Dune").

"Black Panther" is still the only superhero movie ever to get a best picture nomination.

"Now Way Home" earned one Oscar nomination, for best visual effects.

Despite Lady Gaga going full method for months to play the role of Patrizia Reggiani in "House of Gucci," her name was not called when the best actress nominations were announced.

Though her performance was praised by many, there were some who didn't feel it was her best work. Even a dialogue coach on the movie went on record to say that her Italian accent "sounds more Russian."

However, with Gaga winning some of the award season prizes before the Oscar nominations the smart money was on her at least getting a nomination.

Denis Villeneuve was the mastermind for not just getting "Dune" made but it becoming a critical darling and eventually 10 Oscar nominations, including best picture.

Villeneuve will still enjoy Oscar night, he's nominated in the best adapted screenplay category, but it's disappointing to see a movie like this score a best picture nomination and its director not also get named as a nominee for direction.

Ruth Negga wowed audiences in this Netflix drama in which she plays a Black woman in the 1920s who passes for white.

It's the kind of performance that the Academy should champion, but sadly, it was not to be. If you have not seen this movie watch it tonight.

Bradley Cooper found great acclaim playing outlandish hairdresser-turned-Barbra Streisand boyfriend-turned-movie-producer Jon Peters in "Licorice Pizza." Though it led to Cooper gaining Oscar buzz, it didn't lead to a nomination.

The performance is a highlight of the movie, but, honestly, the chance of a nomination was a long shot (but it would have been fun to see him get it).

This is one seemed like a lock to get nominated.

Filmmakers Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin, who made the Oscar-winning "Free Solo," looked to be on their way to at least a nomination for this powerful look at how the breathtaking 2018 Thai cave rescue was pulled off.

Shockingly, the movie didn't get it.

You might chalk this one up to a really competitive best actress field for the Oscars this year, but, sadly, when the smoke cleared, Hudson's riveting performance as Aretha Franklin was left on the outside looking in.

Jared Leto playing the outlandish black sheep of the Gucci family empire, Paolo Gucci, was praised by some and laughed at by others.

Once the nominations were announced, it revealed that despite Leto being a fantastic actor, this performance wasn't right for the Academy voters.

Sadly, "The Last Duel" is still not appreciated. Like the Golden Globes, the Ridley Scott movie was also blanked by the Oscars.

This is one of those movies that might not be fully appreciated until years later.

Netflix's hit movie "Don't Look Up" got four Oscar nominations, including the work by editor Hank Corwin and a best picture nomination, but when it came to the all-star cast no one got any love.

It's most disappointing to see DiCaprio miss out because he is fantastic in the movie. From giving his character side pains to show his anxiety — which director Adam McKay didn't even know he was going to do — to fighting for the "we really did have everything" line in the movie, DiCaprio is a tour-de-force in this.

James Gunn's fantastic take on "The Suicide Squad" was elevated by the special effects and makeup work in the movie.

How the movie was snubbed in both categories is very puzzling.

One of the most touching performances in 2021 was Nicolas Cage's harrowing quest to find out what happened to his beloved pig when it's stolen from him.

It is one of the most grounded roles Cage has done in a while and proved he still can go for the Oscar-worthy parts when he wants them.

But, the Oscar-winner didn't score a nomination. We have a feeling he doesn't get upset over these kinds of things.
