Making matters worse, old social media posts from itsBest Actress-nominated star later leaked online, worsening the film’s chances at awards.
As always, audiences have been quick to point outOscar snubs, an issue only exacerbated by theEmilia Pérezcontroversy. In the Best Actress category, people were upset not to see Angelina Jolie forMariaorTimeWomen of the Year honoree Nicole Kidman forBabygirl. People were also shocked not to see movies likeA Real PainandSing Sing, which were nominated for other awards, left out of the Best Picture race.

Our Take On September 5’s Streaming Success
This Great Movie Deserves Recognition
I’m in agreement with those who say thatSeptember 5was snubbed; this movie is great and deserves any bit of recognition it can get. While the story itself (part of which was previously covered in the Steven Spielberg filmMunich) is gripping,September 5has strong ensemble work, an enthralling pace, and a tight script that makes its Original ScreenplayOscarnomination come as no surprise. With a $6.7 million gross worldwide,September 5failed to connect in theaters, but it is great to see it have a return appeal to audiences on the streaming market.
