Despite winning a Golden Globe, Taron Egerton did not receive an Oscar nomination for his portrayal of Elton John in Rocketman. In fact, the only nomination Rocketman received was for Best Original Song for "(I'm Gonna) Love Me Again."
Not only did Scarlett Johansson get a Leading Actress nomination for Marriage Story, she also got a Best Supoprting Actress nomination for Jojo Rabbit!Â
Kathy Bates got a Supporting Actress nomination for Richard Jewell and Tom Hanks got a Supporting Actor nomination for A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood.
But my favorite nomination comes from the Animated Short category- Kitbull! It's a beautiful story about a pit bull that is raised for dog fighting. He befriends a stray cat after nearly dying and they run off together. I'm a huge pit bull advocate and the short film is a beautiful (and brutally emotional) testament to what pit bulls are unfortunately seen as/used as and the kind of dog they can become with love. It just shows that they are not born aggressive and are just as deserving of your love as any other dog!
