While a nom is worth a momentary celebration, a snub can turn into weeks, if not years, of outraged commentary. Nominations, and even wins, are often soon forgotten. But a snub can be eternal. For example, die-hard Barbra Streisand fans haven\u2019t forgiven the Academy for denying her directing noms for either 1983\u2019s <em>Yentl<\/em> (for which she won a Golden Globe) or 1991\u2019s <em>The Prince of Tides<\/em> (a best picture nominee) even as it showered gold on male stars like Robert Redford (<em>Ordinary People<\/em>) and Kevin Costner (<em>Dances With Wolves<\/em>) for their directorial debuts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    But not all so-called \u201csnubs\u201d are so obvious. In fact, the very word now suffers from overuse since it implies Academy members somehow get together and secretly decide to vote a collective thumbs-down on individual achievements. Sometimes a failure to score a nomination simply means someone didn\u2019t attract enough votes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    But since we\u2019re stuck with the concept of The Snub as part of the awards season lexicon, consider another possibility. Occasionally, a snub can become a real asset; by attracting so much attention, it can actually boost the chances of a nominee denied a slot in one category grabbing a foothold in another category.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    This year, for instance, a prominent snub in the directing category could assist the cause of <em>Women Talking<\/em> writer-director Sarah Polley in the best adapted screenplay contest. When, despite collecting a best picture nom, Polley was shut out of the all-male directors club, the advocacy organization Women in Film issued a statement: \u201cOnce again, Academy voters have shown that they don\u2019t value women\u2019s voices, shutting us out of the best director nominations. An Academy Award is more than a gold statue, it\u2019s a career accelerator that can lead to continued work and increased compensation. That\u2019s why WIF will continue to advocate for the work of talented women directors like Sarah Polley\u2019s <em>Women Talking<\/em>, Gina Prince-Bythewood\u2019s <em>The Woman King<\/em>, Maria Schrader\u2019s <em>She Said<\/em>, Chinonye Chukwu\u2019s <em>Till<\/em> and Charlotte Wells\u2019 <em>Aftersun<\/em>, to be included.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    That added focus on Polley as a distaff standard-bearer could lead more Academy members to consider her work as a screenwriter, making her a favorite in the adapted screenplay race. In effect, she could benefit for what could be called a Whac-A-Mole Snub, where a snubee, dissed in one category, pops up elsewhere. That phenomenon seemingly helped boost <em>Argo<\/em> to a best picture Oscar victory in 2013; director Ben Affleck collected a DGA nom and win but was denied a directing nom by the Academy \u2014 turning his case into something of a cause c\u00e9l\u00e8bre.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    And then there\u2019s the case of what amounts to a Bank Shot Snub. That h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ens when a performance is so conspicuously overlooked by one of the precursor awards, it contributes to a rebound at the Oscars. The most famous example is that of Marcia Gay Harden, who was snubbed by both the Golden Globes and SAG Awards for playing artist Lee Krasner in 2000\u2019s <em>Pollock<\/em> but then rallied with a supporting actress Oscar nom and win. This year, that trajectory could play out for <em>The Fabelmans<\/em>\u2018 matriarch Michelle Williams, Oscar-nominated for best actress. When this season\u2019s SAG Award nominations were announced, the film\u2019s cast was deemed worthy of a collective nomination and Paul Dano got a supporting actor nom, but Williams was left off the outstanding actress list. That omission got as much ink as any of the names of the actual nominees. And so, though <em>T\u00e1r<\/em>\u2018s Cate Blanchett and <em>Everything Everywhere All at Once<\/em>\u2018s Michelle Yeoh are still considered prohibitive favorites, Williams, with four previous Oscar noms in the acting categories to her credit, can\u2019t be counted out.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Finally, there\u2019s the Long Distance Snub. This one can\u2019t be blamed on the Academy. It happens when a country fails to choose a movie as its submission for international feature honors, but the Academy then remedies the oversight with recognition in another category. In 2003, Pedro Almod\u00f3var won the original screenplay award for <em>Talk to Her <\/em>even though Spain didn\u2019t submit the film; similarly, in 2008, Marion Cotillard won best actress for <em>La Vie en Rose<\/em> though France hadn\u2019t deigned the film as its official submission. This year, the beneficiary of the Long Distance Snub could well be the rousing action movie <em>RRR<\/em>; the Film Federation of India chose instead to submit the lower-profile <em>Last Film Show<\/em>, which ultimately failed to score a nomination. But <em>RRR<\/em>, which has steadily been attracting fans in Hollywood, reasserted itself with a nomination for best song, the energetic dance number \u201cNaatu Naatu\u201d by M.M. Keeravaani and Chandrabose. And in turn, those composers are now in a position to triumph over more famous nominees like Rihanna and Lady Gaga \u2014 they already beat them <em>and<\/em> Taylor Swift at the Globes. And if that happens, it will prove that sometimes an attention-grabbing snub is actually a blessing in disguise.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    <em>This story first appeared in the Feb. 15 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/subscribe.hollywoodreporter.com\/sub\/?p=THR&amp;f=saleb_2&amp;s=IH2205THRS\">Click here to subscribe<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n!function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\nif (f.fbq) return;\nn = f.fbq = function() {n.callMethod ? n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);};\nif (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\nn.push = n;\nn.loaded = !0;\nn.version = '2.0';\nn.queue = [];\nt = b.createElement(e);\nt.async = !0;\nt.src = v;\ns = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\ns.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n}(window, document, 'script', 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '352999048212581');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
