Awards season is almost at its end, and that only means one thing: looking at who the awards forgot and saying “hey, you forgot these guys”. We’ve done this for three years, and we’re doing it again.
The rules are very simple, you cannot be nominated for a film that you already have been at the Oscars, all other awards don’t count, and we pick who we think really deserves a nomination.
So, shake your head at the silly awards as we remind you of some other (better) performances that have missed out this year.
