Live Poll: Biggest Surprise of the 2024 Oscar Nominations

@ElMaruecan82​ Also, while I agree that Gerwig's snub deserves to be mentioned, I disagree with the reason "after helming the most successful film ever from a female director". I mean directing a successful blockbuster has never guaranteed an Oscar nomination and maybe the Academy figured that besides her undeniable skills, there were many factors that contributed to the success of "Barbie" such as marketing, star power (Robbie, Gosling), a powerhouse brand, budget, and a good summer release. These factors have not much to do with directing... ... not that she needs an Oscar nod to prove anything at that point. :)

@ElMaruecan82​ I used that image because it showed Barbie crying so it is meant to show the character as if it was sad at the news. Personally, I agree with you on Greta work being most important than simply helming a blockbuster, I just felt it could be a compelling reason for most voters. Which other reason do you think I could use?

@Pencho15​ I figured the reason why you picked that picture, I'm pretty sure you can find images with similar expressions but without the letterbox format... sorry, I'm a kind of a nitpick when it comes to this, don't pay too much attention to it :) For Gerwig, I would have just said "Greta Gerwig being overlooked despite being a strong contender for the award ever since the release of the film"

@Jessica​ Added, thanks.

@rubyfruit76​ Added. Is there a short list on all those categories? As far as I knew only a handful of categories like Documentary, Song, Make Up and International Film had that system, and the rest is completely open to all eligible films.

@Jessica​ All corrected, thanks.

@dan_dassow​ Thanks

@Pencho15​ Just noticed another typo: After hearing the nominations for The Oscars (2024) what surprised you the most?

@Jessica​ Thanks, corrected, I'll ask for the repush.
