This Year’s Biggest Oscar Snubs

Another year's Academy Awards nominations announcement, another round of films and artists who didn't make the cut.

While this year's crop of nominees managed to avoid another embarrassing #OscarsSoWhite scenario of oversights and omissions, there were nevertheless some very notable snubs and exclusions. Here are some of the biggest ones:.

Guillermo del Toro's romantic fantasy film The Shape of Water led the Oscar race with 13 nominations, including Best Picture, but Academy members apparently only allowed themselves to take that one genre movie seriously this year. Blade Runner 2049 received critical raves, but outside of some regional critics groups the film itself has failed to win any major awards. It received five below-the-line nominations (we'll see if cinematographer Roger Deakins finally wins an Oscar thanks to his work on Blade Runner 2049).

Twisted Metal Creator’s Latest Project Canceled, Major Layoffs Affect Studio

David Jaffe's Bartlet Jones Supernatural Detective Agency game studio suffered a huge blow today following the cancellation of one of its major projects.

The news was broken by studio head David Jaffe on his personal Twitter. Jaffe said "the vast majority" of the studio's game division are being let go following the cancellation. Jaffe promised more news is forthcoming.

Bartlet Jones was responsible for Drawn to Death, the free-to-play arena shooter that took its visual inspiration from the frenzied doodles of a high school student's notebook. While the game was visually and conceptually interesting, and Jaffe is no stranger to competitive games, it failed to excite critics or gamers.
