Oscars 2020 Nominations: 16 Biggest Shocks, Snubs & Surprises
6. Snub: Knives Out & Rocketman Get Only ONE Nomination Each
Though Knives Out and Rocketman weren't completely shut out by the Academy, they did sadly receive just one Oscar a-piece, and they clearly deserve so much more than that.
For starters, Knives Out was certainly more Best Picture-worthy than Ford v Ferrari or Jojo Rabbit, and it probably should've received some love in the crafts categories also (especially Production Design). While its sole nod for Best Original Screenplay is a prestigious one, is that really all the Academy felt like offering it?
But Rocketman's snubs feel more generally egregious: Taron Egerton being ignored for Best Actor really stings, as do the lack of nominations in the Sound Editing and Sound Mixing fields. And if Bohemian Rhapsody can get a Best Picture nomination, why the hell not this?
