10 Most Shocking Snubs In The 2022 Oscar Nominations
10. We Don’t Talk About Bruno - Best Original Song
Full disclosure - this one isn't actually a snub, but that hasn't stopped countless fans of the Disney movie Encanto from being up in arms about this beloved track not getting a look in with the Oscars. To tell the truth, "We Don't Talk About Bruno" was never even considered for an Oscar because Disney didn't submit it.
The excellent Encanto wasn't released until three weeks after the submission deadline for the Oscars had passed, so Disney basically had to guess which song from the film stood the best chance of winning. They guessed wrong, choosing the Spanish-language ballad "Dos Oruguitas". Now there's nothing wrong with "Two Little Caterpillars" as it's known in English, but come on, it's no "Bruno".
"We Don't Talk About Bruno" has become one of Disney's most popular songs ever, topping the charts in both the US and the UK and giving millions of parents around the world headaches on a daily basis. But alas, there will be no Oscar for it.
At least Disney didn't get this one completely wrong as "Dos Oruguitas" was nominated for "Best Original Song". It's still going to lose to Billie Eilish though.
