47 Brilliant Films That Didn't Receive a Single Oscar Nomination (The Independent) - Page 2

It might sound obvious, but getting nominated for an Oscar doesn't automatically make a film good.
In fact, there have been many deserving movies over the years that were somehow overlooked by the Academy.
While it's easy to assume that certain films don't get nominated because they're not what voters of the Oscars would usually go for, there have been a lot of surprises in the past. For example, pretty much every new superhero film earns a nomination thanks to the technical or makeup categories, while random animated films are acknowledged most likely because of the low number on offer in a certain year.
