20 Terrible Oscar Nominations From The Past Ten Years - Corrected

20. Ford V. Ferrari's Nomination For Best Picture

The 2020 Best Picture field is pretty good overall, but there are three major mistakes: Jojo Rabbit, Joker and this.

Ford V. Ferrari's (released as Le Mans 66 in the UK) is a completely inexplicable choice. It's a decent but ultimately unmemorable sports drama with a workmanlike script that never takes any risks, so it's not even one of the top 30 best films of the year, let alone the top nine.

The other three nominations - Best Film Editing, Best Sound Editing and Best Sound Mixing - were deserved, but the Oscar nods should've stopped there.

Corrected:

There are many great 2019 movies that could've taken its place, but perhaps the most painful snub of the 2020 Oscars is James Gray's magnificent science-fiction drama Ad Astra, which blended popcorn thrills and heart-rending drama to dazzling effect.

It's one of the best combos of Art-House and Blockbuster film-making that you'll ever see and the fact that it was only nominated for a single sound award when such a forgettable movie as this was nominated for Best Picture is a real shame.
