Oscar Snubs: 'Hidden Figures', 'Lion' & More Films Go Home Empty-Handed [VIDEO]
Not every Oscar nominated film walked away a winner Sunday night - in fact, many films with multiple nominations went home empty-handed.
It was a good night for many movies, including Moonlight, La La Land, Manchester by the Sea and Hacksaw Ridge, but several movies did not take home any prizes. Lion was nominated for six Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor (Dev Patel) and Best Supporting Actress (Nicole Kidman) but took home nothing.
Hell or High Water received four nominations including Best Picture and Best Supporting Actor (Jeff Bridges) but did not win anything either. The same goes for Best Picture nominee Hidden Figures and other multi-nominees Jackie, A Man Called Ove, Deepwater Horizon, Florence Foster Jenkins, Kubo and the Two Strings, Moana, Passengers and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
Other Best Picture nominees Arrival and Fences won one award each, for Sound Editing and Best Supporting Actress (Viola Davis), respectively.
Moonlight won the Oscar for Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor for Mahershala Ali and Best Adapted Screenplay for Barry Jenkins and Tarell Alvin McCraney. La La Land won Oscars for Best Director for Damien Chazelle, Best Actress for Emma Stone, Best Production Design, Best Cinematography, Best Original Score and Best Original Song for "City of Stars". It received a record-tying 14 nominations and had been widely predicted to win Best Picture.
Hacksaw Ridge won Best Editing and Best Sound Mixing, while Manchester by the Sea won Best Actor for Casey Affleck and Best Original Screenplay for Kenneth Lonergan.
Films that took home single awards included Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them for Best Costume Design, Suicide Squad for Best Makeup & Hairstyling, The Jungle Book for Best Visual Effects, Zootopia for Best Animated Feature Film, The Salesman for Best Foreign Language Film, O.J.: Made in America for Best Documentary Feature, Piper for Best Animated Short Film, The White Helmets for Best Documentary Short Subject and Sing for Best Live Action Short.
