The 2020 Oscar Nominations have been revealed. While we’re excited to see terrific films like The Irishman and Joker get plenty of love, this year’s nominations are once again as defined by what’s missing as what’s included.There are some major snubs in this year’s lineup, including top-tier performances from the likes of Adam Sandler, Lupiuta Nyong’o and Jennifer Lopez and talented directors like Rian Johnson and Greta Gerwig. Check out the slideshow below or scroll down to see all the movies, actors, directors and songs that were snubbed this year.

Queen & Slim

Like The Farewell, Queen & Slim is a film that attracted plenty of early awards season buzz but couldn’t seem to generate enough momentum to land on the Academy’s radar.
