The annual Academy Awards honor the best in world cinema, and movie fans always eagerly await when their favorite actors, directors, and artists receive recognition for their work. However, at every awards ceremony, some do not make it onto the list of nominees. Regardless of how strong the performance was, every year several names end up being overlooked. This time, viewers were shocked that some famous actors were not nominated for an Oscar.
Below are the names of those who also did not receive nominations for the 2026 Academy Awards.
Adam Sandler was a favorite among audiences and critics for his role in the film «Jay Kelly». He was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor and won the Astra Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy or Musical. Therefore, his fans were completely bewildered by his absence from the list of nominees.
According to a statement from the Academy (@TheAcademy) on January 22, 2026, Ariana Grande, nominated for a Golden Globe for her role as Glinda in the films «Wicked» and «Wicked: For Good», - also raised questions with her absence from the Oscar nominee list.
Jennifer Lawrence has long been a contender for an Oscar for numerous films. As an Academy Award winner, she starred in the film «Die, My Love», - for which she received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in a Drama.
Paul Mescal garnered much discussion around his Oscar candidacy for his role as William Shakespeare in the film «Hamnet», - even receiving a Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actor. Ultimately, the Academy did not nominate him.
Chase Infinity’s performance in the film «One Battle After Another» received widespread acclaim. She was nominated for the Actor Awards, Critics Choice Awards, and a Golden Globe, but did not make it to the Oscars.
Amanda Seyfried may have predicted her misfortune at the 2026 Oscars in an interview prior to the announcement of nominations in January 2026.
«Do you remember who has won in the last ten years? It’s not about winning; it’s about getting nominated», - Amanda explained in an interview with The New Yorker earlier this month. «It really helps to move forward. That’s a fact. Now, do I need that in a week or two? No, of course not. Would it be great? Of course, it would, for all the reasons. But it’s not essential. The longevity of an actor’s career is the plan».
