10 Amazing 2019 Films That Didn't Get A Single Oscar Nomination

If this had come out later in the year, we'd be seeing Lupita Nyong'o's name in that Best Actress category.

Much like Midsommar, Us was destined to be at a disadvantage thanks to the Academy's cold approach to the horror genre. But in terms of original storytelling, Us boasts some of the most interesting ideas, performances, cinematography and soundtrack choices of the year.

But Jordan Peele is a visionary who the Academy clearly respects. The early release date didn't hurt Get Out two years ago, but it definitely hurt Us here.

Anything Peele makes is a must-watch in terms of modern cinema, and Us is no exception. A critical and financial success, you've probably seen this one already. But if you haven't, seek it out as soon as possible. It's a worthy follow-up to Get Out and asks even more important questions about race relations in modern society, all through a nightmare-fuelled lens.

Jordan Peele is a filmmaker who's here to stay, so keeping up to date on his original horror masterpieces is in your own best interest.
