"It's never possible to satisfy everyone with awards or film listings, because tastes are always different, but you at least hope that some of your favorite films are in contention to get at least a little bit of recognition. Unfortunately, more often than not they come up short. This year was the same. To be fair, most of these nominations are really good. Many good films have been released in the last year and a half and it's great to see films like "Minari," "Promising Young Woman" and "Sound of Metal" get recognized and films like "White Tiger" getting its surprise script nomination.
There were also some other films in contention that had buzz, but were somehow totally overlooked by AMPAS. We're going to take a look at 10 of those. Of course, only those that realistically had shots for nominations, which is why several great films are left out of this list."
