2025 Oscars Snub Notable Actresses, Including Jolie, Kidman, Washington

The 2025 Oscar nominations have sparked controversy and disappointment, particularly due to the notable snubs of high-profile actresses. Angelina Jolie, who earned critical acclaim for her role in the biopic 'Maria,' was notably absent from the Best Actress nominations despite prior accolades, including Golden Globe and Critics' Choice nominations. Nicole Kidman also faced a similar fate for her performance in 'Babygirl,' which had garnered significant buzz and awards recognition, raising questions about the Academy's choices. Denzel Washington, a two-time Oscar winner, was overlooked for his supporting role in 'Gladiator II,' although the film received a nomination for Best Costume Design. Fans expressed their outrage on social media, with many labeling these omissions as egregious errors by the Academy. Other notable snubs included Pamela Anderson for 'The Last Showgirl' and Zendaya for 'Challengers,' which failed to receive any nominations despite earlier acclaim.
