Oscar snubs: shocks and surprises from the 2015 nominations. This year’s snubs are, at best, medium-outrageous.

(Uproxx‘s Steven Hyden called his Nightcrawler snub the worst of the decade; I know I’ve seen few performances to compete with it). Sorry, it still stings. Some people had Jake Gyllenhaal winning his first Best Actor Oscar this year -- a prediction that was as extreme as Gyllenhaal's weight loss in order to play Lou Bloom in Nightcrawler -- so it was a big surprise to see his name missing from the Best Actor roster. The second hour of.“Night-crawling” is a term for the stringers who work at night and chase down down gory tragedies reported on the police scanner.

As in,I haven’t seen all the nominated performances this year, but I know Ryan Gosling’s part demanded a fraction of the skills of Gyllenhaal’s this year (much as I love the guy), and this is Denzel Washington’s worst performance since,Of course, I could offer the usual bromide–that the best actors are so seldom recognized. Instead, I’m still fixated on the worst Oscar snub of 2015, because it also happens to be the worst snub of the ’10s.

When Louis speaks, he sounds like an alien who learned about people from listening to Tony Robbins audiobooks.But Gyllenhaal has enough empathy for Bloom to make what should be a thoroughly unlikeable character a smidge sympathetic — at heart Louis is a guy who’s been dehumanized by the 21st century’s trickle-down economy. 30 worst Oscar snubs of all time (how many do you agree with?) Let’s start with this video. Nightcrawler was one of the biggest snubs at this year’s Academy Awards. January 15, 2015. I’m tired of the assumption that there must be buzz about a star before he/she can be considered “snubbed” by the Academy. ... and Nightcrawler and Jake Gyllenhaal, erm, weren't. Jake Gyllenhaal's turn as opportunistic videographer Lou Bloom is both bold and bravura, his sociopathic stare masked only by the camera he hides behind.
