Daniel Craig gave one of his best performances as an American expat in Mexico in the torrid May-December romance in “Queer,” but it hasn’t been resonating with awards voters. The Oscar snub is the final piece in a puzzle that just never came together.

The nominations for the 97th annual Academy Awards were announced on Thursday morning, after being delayed due to the devastating Los Angeles fires. The nominations were announced

Brazilian star Fernanda Torres followed up her Golden Globe-winning role in “I’m Still Here” with an Oscar nomination.

Several stars were snubbed for the forthcoming awards show, which is set to take place on March 2 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.

The star earned some of the best reviews of her career out of the Venice Film Festival for her portrayal of the opera icon Maria Callas. Director Pablo Larrain previously delivered Oscar nominations to two of his stars playing historical figures — Natalie Portman for “Jackie” in 2017 and Kristen Stewart for “Spencer” in 2022.

Oscar nominations surprised fans by excluding big names like Kate Winslet, Nicole Kidman, and Denzel Washington.

Monica Barbaro landed a best supporting actress nomination for her role as Joan Baez in the Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown. Overlooked by major awards like the Golden Globes, Barbaro edged out competitors like Selena Gomez (Emilia Pérez), entering the category as an underdog.

Those who have been in the running for awards, but missed out on nominations, also include Oscar-winner Nicole Kidman for erotic thriller Babygirl, US singer Selena Gomez for Emilia Perez, Gladiator II actor Denzel Washington and Baywatch star Pamela Anderson for The Last Showgirl.
