Top 20 Oscar snubs of performers: Margot Robbie, Leonardo DiCaprio, Willem Dafoe …

The 2024 Oscar nominations were announced on Tuesday morning and included some shocking snubs in the acting races. Our overall odds at Gold Derby predicted 85% of the nominees for Best Actress, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress and Best Supporting Actor. While we aced the Best Actor category, we missed one nominee in each of the other races contending for the 96th Academy Awards.

Three SAG Awards nominated performers aren’t in contention at the Oscars: lead Margot Robbie (“Barbie”) and supporting players Penelope Cruz (“Ferrari”) and Willem Dafoe (“Poor Things”).

Benefiting from one of those ruthless snubs was Sandra Huller (“Anatomy of a Fall”), who ranked third in our odds despite being ignored by the guild. According to our odds, it was Annette Bening who was the surprise here for “Nyad.” The veteran was ranked seventh despite Golden Globe and SAG Award nominations earlier this year. America Ferrera (“Barbie”) snuck in over Cruz, while Dafoe’s screen partner Mark Ruffalo (“Poor Things”) edged him out with academy voters.
