John Cho and Issa Rae announced the nominees for Oscars 2020 yesterday. While many candidates like Joker, Marriage Story, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood etc got their well-deserved nominations, it missed quite a few great candidates.
While a lot of people were upset about not getting their favourite candidates getting nominated, a lot of them were happy as well. So, here’s what twitter thought of the Oscar Nominees of 2020.
“Congratulations to those men” – Issa Rae telling it like it is on the #OscarNoms

not a single oscar nomination for red velvet’s PSYCHO… just because it “isn’t a film”… disgusting

There is no way that Kathy Bates in Richard Jewell was better than Jennifer Lopez in Hustlers and I will die on that hill! #OscarNoms

Oscars do the usual. I'm so mad. So few Latinx actors have ever been nominated much less win

"i was so annoyed about jlo's oscar snub, i forgot about adam sandler's."
No Greta Gerwig for ‘Little Women,’ no Lulu Wang for ‘The Farewell,’ no Lorene Scafaria for ‘Hustlers,’ no Melina Matsoukas for ‘Queen & Slim’ no Marielle Heller for ‘A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood.’ Once again, the Oscars nominated five men for best director. #OscarNoms

The Oscars are so white this year the leading nominations are for a movie about a white incel who painted his face even whiter.

“Congratulations to those men.” – Issa Rae introducing the Best Director category is a MOOD. #OscarNoms pic.twitter.com/ihxnw0E6VJ

.@TheAcademy just told Jlo “you’re not good enough” to hang with us and picked one crying scene from Kathy Bates instead. This is not good. #OscarNoms

I can’t believe Spider-Verse wasn’t nominated just because it came out and won last year. #OscarNoms

The multiple nominations are totally deserved. #Joker is a modern masterpiece 💯#Oscars pic.twitter.com/yIs0piI6jf

I’m actually upset that Jennifer Lopez didn’t get nominated for Best Supporting Actress for Hustlers. #OscarNoms pic.twitter.com/3X0lARQWnW

Not taking away Brad Pitts and Leonardo DiCaprio performance but I would of rather replaced them with Robert Pattinson and William Dafoe for leading and supporting actors! They went ape shit!! #OscarNoms #Oscars pic.twitter.com/B6XdEVpvaU

Repeat after me : Scarlett Johansson really deserves to win both awards!

Can you name a Directing nominee that had a baby AND wrote/directed a film this year? No? #OscarNoms

I’m sorry … y’all really think Scarlett deserves an Oscar nom over LUPITA ??? Hell no pic.twitter.com/PcBoir2vnO
I love women, women directors, and loved Gerwig’s Little Women. I don’t know what you have to do around Hollywood to get a gal a directing Oscar nom, but it seems having a movie that is better than others nominated doesn’t seem to do the trick. Maybe if she were Greg Gerwig.

#OscarNominations Try harder then, shouldnt be give a nomination for your sex, colour or ethnicity pic.twitter.com/9K02xAQeMn

I’m satisfied with most of the nominations today but the Oscars did this movie dirty and that’s just unacceptable pic.twitter.com/X4BXygYBzG

The Farewell getting blanked is GARBAGE. I have no joke for this, it’s just so embarrassing, they should be embarrassed

There were 104 nomination slots across all categories for narrative features at the #Oscars. 34 different films were nominated. 2/3 of all nominations were multiple nods from a small group of films. In a year this rich with great movies, this is a slew of missed opportunities. pic.twitter.com/cXlBARG3AL

Glad to see American Factory’s Oscar nod for Best Documentary. It’s the kind of story we don’t see often enough and it’s exactly what Michelle and I hope to achieve with Higher Ground. Congrats to the incredible filmmakers and entire team!
