10 Biggest Oscar Snubs of 2020

It happens every year... there's only so many nominee slots to fill. Certain filmmakers and cast members are bound to be left disappointed. But this year felt particularly snubby. Here are what I consider the most surprising Oscar snubs of 2020!

10. Dolemite is My Name for Best Actor and Best Costume

Eddie Murphy made a wonderful comeback with Dolemite is My Name, about the blaxploitation legend Rudy Ray Moore. His performance as the eccentric comedian-turned-cult figure brought him some awards buzz, but unfortunately wasn't enough to land on the nominee list. Same goes for costume designer Ruth E. Carter, who won the category last year for Black Panther.

Top 20 Most Anticipated Movies for 2020!

Sometimes the build-up is better than the end product, but here are the top 20 films allegedly coming out next year that I am most hyped about! 

20. Macbeth
Director: Joel Coen (Fargo, True Grit, Burn After Reading)
Starring: Denzel Washington, Frances McDormand, Brendan Gleeson, Corey Hawkins

There have been a ridiculous amount of Macbeth adaptations over the years. Orson Welles has taken a shot at it, Roman Polanski, Akira Kurosawa took the play to feudal Japan with his Throne of Blood, and just five years ago Michael Fassbender starred in an adaptation. But despite this abundance of dramas featuring the famed King of Scotland, it's impossible not to get excited at the prospect of DENZEL himself playing the leading role, and Frances McDormand playing Lady Macbeth, following up on her Oscar-winning performance in Three Billboards. Joel Coen is a hit-or-miss director for me, but I'm looking forward to his take on this material, especially as an English teacher!

Release Date: TBA (currently in pre-production)
