OSCAR SNUBS
So there you have it. The 2020 genre films that received Oscar Nominations in 2020. What were some of your snubs? I personally thought Jennifer Kent’s ‘The Nightingale,’ Ari Aster’s ‘Midsommar’ and ‘Us’ should have received some nominations and specifically Lupita Nyong’o for her fantastically creepy performance.
