Why Wasn't Wonder Woman Nominated For an Oscar?
Wonder Woman Didn't Receive Any Oscar Nominations, and Fans Are Livid
The 2018 Oscar nominations were announced on Tuesday morning, and naturally the list included some surprises — both good and bad. On the bright side, the best director category included a woman (Greta Gerwig for Lady Bird, rejoice!), and Jordan Peele's Get Out finally got its due (best picture, best original screenplay, best director for Peele, and best actor for Daniel Kaluuya). Unfortunately Wonder Woman, in a crushing repeat of the Golden Globes, was shut out of the nominations completely.
Pretty much immediately after the Academy revealed their picks, fans of Patty Jenkins's kickass superhero film starring Gal Gadot — which demolished the box office and empowered audiences the world over — let their grievances be heard on Twitter. From wondering how a critically panned movie like Suicide Squad could get nominated and Wonder Woman isn't, to asking more simple questions ("Did any of those a*sholes see Wonder Woman?"), no one held back.
