Many other acclaimed movies made the cut, while other worthy films and performances were ignored, and here are five snubs and surprises that we didn’t see coming.
Snub: Angelina Jolie, Maria
The race for the best actress has been pretty competitive this year, but it was still a shocker to see Angelina Jolie miss out on a nomination for Maria. Pamela Anderson (The Last Showgirl), Nicole Kidman (Babygirl), and Marianne Jean-Baptiste (Hard Truths) also failed to make the cut.
Surprise: The Apprentice
Sebastian Stan and Jeremy Strong have both given stellar performances in The Apprentice, and it was a pleasant surprise to see the Academy recognize their outstanding work.
Snub: Selena Gomez, Emilia Pérez
Even though Emilia Pérez received 13 Oscar nods, a supporting actress nomination for Selena Gomez wasn’t one of them. Margaret Qualley (The Substance) and Jamie Lee Curtis (The Last Showgirl)) have also been shut out of this category.
Surprise: The Substance
After ignoring the horror genre time and time again, the Academy has finally given some love to The Substance and awarded it with five nominations, including best picture, director, and actress for Demi Moore.
Snub: Challengers
Challengers has always been a long shot in the main categories, but it was a shocker to see it miss out on nominations for best score and editing.

The book, meant to empower and educate teens, is straightforwardly titled Know Your Rights and Claim Them: A Guide for Youth and was released in September.
“I’m so inspired by young people around the world who are on the front lines of the struggle for human rights,” Jolie stated in her post. “From protecting the environment to fighting inequality and discrimination, they are stepping in to do the work adults should but so far have failed to do. And in refugee camps and conflict areas globally, children are bearing the burden of the consequences of those bad decisions.”
Jolie went on to talk about the change that can occur once teens and children are aware of their rights, writing “When children and young people have the agency, power, and knowledge to speak up, they can change the lives of both young people and adults, helping to achieve a more equal society.”According to Jolie, she consulted young activists around the globe while writing her new book, which is meant “for them, and all the many young people fighting for their rights globally.”

]]>Eternals is one of the most anticipated movies of the year, and its world premiere was worth the wait. Stars in attendance hit the red carpet in some pretty amazing looks, and here are five that ended up stealing the show.
Gemma Chan
The title of the best-dressed star at this premiere goes to Gemma Chan, who truly rocked our world in her white Louis Vuitton gown with a long cape that made her look like a real-life superhero.
Angelina Jolie
Jolie is one of the biggest stars to join the cast of any Marvel movie, and she marked the occasion by walking down the red carpet in a draped Balmain gown.
Zahara Jolie-Pitt
Jolie attended the premiere with her kids, and one look that really caught our eye was Zahara Jolie-Pitt’s silver Elie Saab gown, previously worn by her mom at the 2014 Academy Awards.
Rita Ora
The British singer joined Taika Waititi at the premiere of Marvel’s latest movie and looked pretty glamorous in a white, long-sleeved gown by Stéphane Rolland.
Bella Poarch
Poarch delivered the most over-the-top look of the entire event, but we have to give her props for rocking an outfit that perfectly fits with the theme of the movie.
