Oscars 2020 Nominations: 16 Biggest Shocks, Snubs & Surprises

2. Snub: Apollo 11 - Best Documentary

Best Documentary Feature is one of those categories that's just governed by bizarre omissions year-in and year-out, with acclaimed films routinely being snubbed for reasons unclear.

This year, the big snub was the mesmerising space documentary Apollo 11, which was one of the best-reviewed docs of the last few years and seemed like an absolute sure-thing lock.

This follows the Academy snubbing Mr. Rogers documentary Won't You Be My Neighbor? last year, which was similarly one of the most acclaimed docs in recent times.

It makes no sense whatsoever, beyond the Documentary voting branch being a little more averse to populist subjects perhaps?
