Oscars 2020 Nominations: 16 Biggest Shocks, Snubs & Surprises

4. Surprise: Saoirse Ronan (Little Women) - Best Actress

Though Saoirse Ronan absolutely gives a nomination-worthy performance in Little Women, her popularity on the awards circuit this year has oddly cooled in recent weeks, and it really seemed like she was due to lose her Best Actress bid to Awkwafina.

But as it turned out, Ronan did indeed receive her fourth acting nomination, all the more impressive at just 25 years of age, making her the second-youngest four-time nominee behind Jennifer Lawrence, who beats her by just mere months.

Though Ronan sadly hasn't got a chance of "finally" winning the gong, this likely ensures she'll overtake Lawrence's record when she surely ends up with her fifth nomination in the next few years.
