Avengers: Infinity War didn’t get the Best Picture nomination at the 2019 Oscars that Black Panther did, but it did get an Academy Award nomination for Best Achievement in Visual Effects – and Marvel fans all that film was a lock for it.

…But they were very wrong.
Ryan Gosling’s Neil Armstrong moon mission telling managed to snag the Best Achievement in Visual Effects Oscar – one of biggest upsets of the night, by far. Needless to say, the fact that Avengers: Infinity War didn’t get an Oscar now has Marvel fans feeling some kind of way!
YOU HAVE FAILED CINEMA!
Avengers Infinity War.. which did not get anything is a fucking shame to Cinema!! #Oscars #Oscar2019 #Oscars2019

Crime In Progress
To say that I’m shocked that Avengers: Infinity War didn’t win the Award for Best Visual Effects is an understatement. I feel like they down right got robbed. ??#Oscars

A lot of fans want law enforcement to step in do something about this robbery in progress.ย
W.T.F.
When another historical space movie that has been done before wins an Oscar for best visual effects when itโs against Avengers Infinity War or Ready player one #TheOscars #What #WTFMoment pic.twitter.com/LpaDiOypnk

How could Infinity War not get the Best Visual from #Oscars ??

Have they not seen Avengers Infinity War???
Maybe they’ve started choosing Oscars without actually watching the films?ย ?โโ๏ธ
Poor Paul Rudd
Oh man, Paul Rudd looked so disappointed when he looked at that card and saw First Man instead of Avengers: Infinity War, won the #Oscars award for best visual affects.

Why? Why send the most affable actor in the MCUย up there to die on the hill of one of its greatest disappointments?ย
Thanos Was Right
The ‘First Man’ won Best Visual Effects over the ‘Avenger: Infinity War’.

This is why Thanos wants to eliminate half the existence in the universe.#Oscars pic.twitter.com/zxZO6A0Ad2
This snub has Marvel fans feeling like Thanosย might’veย been on to something.ย
Marvel-on-Marvel Hate
Iโm sorry but Avengers: Infinity War was better than Black Panther. The fact that it canโt win an Oscar is just silly. Itโs got incredible acting performances, incredible effects and Iโm sorry there isnโt one movie I would have rather watched last year. #oscars2019

Watch out for these so-called Marvel fans, for they are out there.ย
Who is THIS Guy?
While I think Avengers Infinity War should have won for best VFX, I can’t muster any argument against First Man#Oscars

The one guy who seems to accept this fate.ย
Our Hearts Beat Again
the pain I felt for Avengers: Infinity War being snubbed got taken away by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper #Oscars

The pain was deep for a moment there, but (wait for it…) we’re in the shallows now.ย
