Disney Fans Shocked Frozen 2 Was Snubbed by Oscars

Not long ago, the world found out which movies would move forward in the race to earn an Oscar this year. The 92nd Academy Awards will go down this year, and the event will honor some of the industry’s best projects. Of course, many movie goers had their own hopes for the event’s nominees, but it turns out some major predictions fell short. And in the world of animation, some Disney fans are feeling outraged about a certain snub.

For those who do not know, Best Animated Picture is a coveted category for many studios, and Disney is a big fan in particular. The studio has taken home the award time and again, so many expected The Academy Awards to nominate both Toy Story 4 and Frozen 2. But as it turns out, the latter film did not make the cut.

Yes, that is right. Frozen 2 did not get nominated for Best Animation Picture, and fans have lots to say about it.

As you can see below, the reactions to Frozen 2 and its snub are coming to social media by the minute. The sequel made nearly $1.4 billion this year upon its release, but its massive box office haul couldn’t buy out an Oscar. Instead, the event populated its animation category with Toy Story 4, How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World, and a couple of Netflix underdogs.

In fact, the streaming service surprised fans with both of its big nominations. Netflix’s Klaus and I Lost My Body made big waves with their nominations. Missing Link has also been nominated, and its recent wind at the Golden Globe Awards might serve it well at the Oscars this year. Clearly, a shift is occurring in The Academy that values substance over cash. But in the case of Frozen 2, fans who gravitated towards its story of self-rescuing heroines cannot help but feel unfairly snubbed.

Oh No

I know people are already making a fuss about the all-male directing category so I’m gonna throw this in to the ring: no “Frozen 2” either. Which was also written and co-directed by a woman. https://t.co/0MfiAniWnN

Message Received

Wow, Frozen 2 snubbed for an Oscar nomination and losing to The Missing Link at the Globes? It seems that Hollywood is very much sending a message of disapproval towards Disney’s monopoly on the industry that I don’t mind (even if I thought Frozen 2 was the best film of the year)
