Wonder Woman Didn't Receive Any Oscar Nominations, and Fans Are Livid

26/01/2018 - 07:08 AM

The 2018 Oscar nominations [1] 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 [2], rejoice!), and Jordan Peele's Get Out [3] finally got its due [4] (best picture, best original screenplay, best director for Peele, and best actor for Daniel Kaluuya). Unfortunately Wonder Woman [5], in a crushing repeat of the Golden Globes [6], was shut out of the nominations completely.

Pretty much immediately after the Academy revealed their picks, fans of Patty Jenkins's kickass superhero film [7] starring Gal Gadot — which demolished the box office [8] and empowered audiences the world over [9] — 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.
