The Forgetscars ’24: Honoring What The Academy Got Wrong

Well, you knew The Academy would somehow mess this up, right? They do it every year. Margot Robbie was the heart and soul of Barbie and was snubbed. That’s obviously going to make all the headlines this morning, but there were so many films and Oscars left off the list of nominations this morning. Still can’t understand how The Iron Claw didn’t land one nomination or how Still got left off Best Documentary. Also — wouldn’t it be nice if the Best Original Song category loosened up a little bit? Where is Dua Lipa? No one wants to see Diane Warren lose again for a movie no one saw. But, I digress. Lucky for all the people who got left off the ballot today, I’m here spreading fake awards. Here’s The Forgotscars, the awards for the Oscars forgotten. No actual awards — just honoring those left in the cold. Here’s the multi-verse nominees…
