介绍： It's Oscars Snubbing Season Again
It's an honor just to be nominated. Alas, one is not always granted the option for such graciousness. When actors are left out of the running for an Academy Award, they have to make do with being the subject of public uproar, of cries for justice. The Oscar snub has become its own conversational domain, a prominent outgrowth of the Oscars themselves.
During snubbing season, there are endless posts, pieces, reels and threads, all arguing about which art and artists should have been recognized by the academy. One could go so far as to suggest that our fixation on Oscar snubs is healthy. In a culture that can't concentrate, that routinely forgets the names of films and actors, we have trained ourselves to notice what isn't there.
For many fans, becoming agitated over the Oscars is a simple way of telegraphing sophistication and memory. It's an extension of fandom to be nonplused that one's favorite actor or film was left off a list. If people take these things personally, it's because a film has done its job.
The moviegoing public will often use the word "overlooked" when discussing snubs. But it's not accurate. No one escaped anyone's attention. Choices were made. Some of them hurt.
We all know what this is like. When you receive approval, your peers are a bunch of geniuses. When you don't, they are out to lunch. What's always been surreal is seeing this emotional parade televised. And yet, we at home continue to crave more of what snubbing season has offered, more moments of humanity, not just humility.
