Internet Is Spiraling After Ana de Armas’ Oscar Nomination

Ana de Armas scored a 2023 Academy Award nomination, but the news is being met with scrutiny.

On Monday, Jan. 23, the official roster of Oscar nominees was released by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and the internet is up in arms—less about who made the list, and more so, specifically, about who didn’t.

While some are celebrating the actress’ achievement for her portrayal of Marilyn Monroe in Blonde, as well as being the only Latina in the group, others have much to say about expected candidates who were excluded from this year’s list.

Among the most-mentioned notable overlooks were performances from Viola Davis in The Woman King, Mia Goth in Pearl, and Danielle Deadwyler in Till.

The strong opinions regarding the snubs rolled in, with several Twitter users questioning how the aforementioned talents could have possibly been skipped.

“Soooo ana de armas nominated for oscar BUT not viola davis!!! and mia Goth?! Speechless,” one irate tweeter noticed, as another followed up with, “so Ana de Armas gets a nomination but not Mia Goth…? this is just awful,” and a third echoed: “the academy really chose ana de armas over viola davis”
