Over the last decade, Marvel’s uninterrupted run of Visual Effects category nominations at the Oscars was brought to an end by the snubbing of both Deadpool and Wolverine. Instead, the movies that made it to the nomination list for this year’s award are: Wicked, Dune: Part Two, Better Man, The Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, and Alien: Romulus.
After the announcement, numerous enthusiasts voiced their displeasure online about the movie not receiving a nomination.
A spectator expressed regret that although Jeremy Strong and Kieran Culkin from the show Succession received Oscar nominations for Best Supporting Actor, Matthew Macfadyen was not included in those nominations.

A different user responded to a post by @bluerayangel, agreeing that Hugh Jackman’s portrayal of both Wolverine and Deadpool deserved an Oscar. They expressed their frustration by saying, “Hugh Jackman’s performances were absolutely snubbed! 100% SNUBBED!
1,000,000,000…000,000,000,000,000% snubbed! Hugh Jackman’s portrayal of Deadpool and Wolverine was flawless; truly Oscar-worthy!

A different user voiced disapproval towards the Academy, arguing they missed out on nominating Hugh Jackman. They emphasized how deeply he immersed himself into portraying Wolverine, and further highlighted the significant impact of Jackman’s “carside monologue” in the movie across various screenings.
In my opinion, Hugh Jackman was unfairly overlooked for an Oscar nomination. The depth and intensity he brought to the role of Wolverine was truly extraordinary, and his car monologue was simply captivating. Every time I watched it in the theater, the audience fell completely silent – a testament to Jackman’s exceptional acting ability.

A different user pointed out the groundbreaking achievement of Deadpool and Wolverine in breaking box office records as R-rated films. Furthermore, they suggested that the movies’ omission from the Oscar race cast a shadow over the entire awards season.
It’s quite amusing that Deadpool and Wolverine, who together hold the record for the highest-grossing R-rated films, haven’t been nominated for an Oscar yet. This certainly highlights the absurdity of awards season!
Or, more casually:
It’s funny how these action-packed R-rated movies like Deadpool and Wolverine have raked in the big bucks but haven’t gotten any Oscar love yet. Award season can be pretty silly sometimes, huh?
