Apart from Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig&#039;s &#039;Barbie&#039; snub at the Academy Awards

Is Margot Robbie’s &#8216;Barbie&#8217; Really the Biggest Oscar Snub in History? 5 Actresses Who Lost Deserving Academy Awards in the Past

Over the years, there have been many Oscar-worthy performances that were pushed
aside. Although Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig’s recent snub has taken over the
world; is it truly the biggest Academy Award snub that fans have seen in recent
history? While the nomination snub might have outraged fans, it is not the first
time that something like this has happened to a fan-favorite contender.

Robbie and Gerwig’s Barbie snub might be the hottest debate of the 2024 awards
season. However, other iconic actresses have also missed out on some rather
well-deserving awards in the past.


5 ACTRESSES WHO MISSED OUT ON AN OSCAR LIKE MARGOT ROBBIE

For years, it has been seen that many fan favorites fail to bring out the same
success at the Academy Awards. With Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer likely to
sweep the awards show

and Margot Robbie’s Barbie being shunned, let’s take a look at five other
actresses who have missed out on landing an Oscar even though their fans had
expected them to win it.


FLORENCE PUGH

Florence Pugh was not snubbed by the Academy Awards once, but twice. While her
performances in Little Women (2020) and Olivia Wilde’s Don’t Worry, Darling
(2022) were well deserving of an Oscar, the actress ended up being overlooked.
In fact, it happened once again at this year’s nomination when she failed to
score a nod for a role as Jean Tatlock.



With the actress showcasing her range and depth through the portrayal of various
complex characters, fans have been left confused as to why she has yet to make
the Oscar nomination list. Although it might be time for the 28-year-old to have
her day in the sun, it looks like fans might have to wait till next year to see
if the actress can find a way onto the elite list.

While Pugh’s struggle might be more recent, there have been some stars who have
been eyeing for an Oscar win since the early 90s.


ANGELA BASSET

Most Marvel fans might know Angela Basset as Queen Ramonda, but the actress
behind the character has done a lot more than just playing supporting roles in
superhero films. From romcoms to action films, the 65-year-old has done it all.
The actress has only been nominated for an Oscar twice in her decades-long
career.



The first time was back in 1994 for the Best Actress award for her movie, What’s
Love Got to Do with It. Her second nomination came years later in 2023, when she
was nominated for Best Supporting Actress in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
While it might have been an achievement to be nominated for a Marvel film,
Basset ultimately lost both awards.


GLENN CLOSE

Before the world was taken over by Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt, there was a
whole other set of Hollywood greats that used to grace the silver screens. From
Meryl Streep to Judy Dench, talented actresses could be found all over. With
such stunning stars all around, there was one who was overlooked. It was
acclaimed by actress, Glenn Close. While she had first been nominated for an
Oscar in ’82, at 76 years old, she is still yet to bag an Academy Award.



The actress did come rather close to being recognized for her roles in Dangerous
Liaisons and The Natural. However, she ended up losing out to stars who had
taken their performances to a whole new level. With 8 Academy Award nominations
up her sleeve, Close has become the only celebrity to have that many
nominations, yet zero wins so far.

Although 8 might seem like a huge number, Close is not the only actress who has
racked up a long list of nominations over the years.


AMY ADAMS

Similarly to Glenn Close, Amy Adams has also been snubbed by the Oscars quite a
few times. While the actress has been nominated for Best Supporting Actress five
times, she has not yet bagged an award. From Vice to Junebug and The Fighter and
more, the 49-year-old has proved time and time again that she is more than
deserving of an Academy Award. However, those dreams have not yet come to
fruition.



Apart from losing out to other stars, Adams also faced a similar instance to
Margot Robbie’s Barbie snub. Back in 2017, fans had thought that the actress’
role in Arrival would get her nominated for an Oscar for the 7th time. However,
she was unexpectedly left out of the list.


JUDY GARLAND

Judy Garland might best be known for her role in the 1939 cult classic, Wizard
of Oz. However, the actress was never acknowledged by the Academy Awards for her
role as she was just sixteen when the film came out. Her first nomination came
in 1954 for her film, A Star Is Born. Unfortunately, the actress/singer ended up
losing out to Grace Kelly. After that, it took the actress a little longer to be
noticed by the awards show.



It was not until 1962, that Garland was nominated for an Oscar once again. This
time it was for the courtroom drama, Judgment at Nuremberg. While fans who had
watched it expected the star to take home the prestigious award. That was not
the case. Instead, Rita Moreno ended up bagging the award for West Side Story.
