"Schulman: I adored Emma Stone in "Bugonia"-a sly and unflinching performance that keeps you guessing-and worried that she'd be left off the Best Actress list, since she's won twice before. Neil: And were there any glaring snubs in the nominations? Brody: There were many-including "Hedda," "The Mastermind," and "The Phoenician Scheme" (Hollywood takes Wes Anderson for granted). Also, I was dismayed that Denzel Washington wasn't recognized for "Highest 2 Lowest.""
"Chang: I hesitate to classify omissions as "snubs," which implies a deliberate or even malicious slight, when the result is invariably the outcome of voters simply having preferred other options more. That said, Oliver Laxe's desert-rave survival thriller "Sirāt" was the movie of the year for me, and although its nominations for Best International Feature and Best Sound were wholly deserved, it should also be up for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Score,"
Several participants noted recent film nominations and debated notable inclusions and omissions. Ethan Hawke and Robert Kaplow received nominations for Blue Moon, while Andrew Scott was considered a missing Best Supporting Actor nominee. Emma Stone earned praise for Bugonia but faced concern about Best Actress oversight. Multiple films—Hedda, The Mastermind, The Phoenician Scheme, No Other Choice, and The Testament of Ann Lee—were cited as overlooked. Wicked: For Good received no nominations. Denzel Washington was not recognized for Highest 2 Lowest. Oliver Laxe's Sirāt received international feature and sound nods but was argued to deserve major-category consideration, including Best Picture and Best Director.
