Weirdest Oscar Nominations Ever
Every year the Academy Awards arrive and every year there are new controversies, new debates, and new films that - arguably - didn't deserve to be nominated. But as weird as it is that films like 102 Dalmatians and Click are officially in the record books as Oscar nominees, their nominations weren't necessarily "weird." They just had impressive achievements hidden under all of their more obvious badness.
No, if you want to explore the WEIRDEST Oscar nominations in history, you're going to have to dig deeper than Norbit. You have to explore forgotten controversies, bizarre jokes that got taken too seriously, and strange one-time occurrences that forced the Academy to ultimately change their rules, just so they'll never look foolish again. So get ready folks, we're about to take a pretty deep dive. These are the weirdest Oscar nominations in history...

All-New Wolverine: X-23 Becomes Old Woman Laura
The original Old Man Logan storyline introduced readers to a post-apocalyptic Marvel Universe where an aged Wolverine was among the last heroes standing. Now All-New Wolverine readers will get to see how that premise plays out with Laura Kinney in the lead role, thanks to a new arc called "Old Woman Laura."

This Year’s Biggest Oscar Snubs
Another year's Academy Awards nominations announcement, another round of films and artists who didn't make the cut.
While this year's crop of nominees managed to avoid another embarrassing #OscarsSoWhite scenario of oversights and omissions, there were nevertheless some very notable snubs and exclusions. Here are some of the biggest ones:.
Guillermo del Toro's romantic fantasy film The Shape of Water led the Oscar race with 13 nominations, including Best Picture, but Academy members apparently only allowed themselves to take that one genre movie seriously this year. Blade Runner 2049 received critical raves, but outside of some regional critics groups the film itself has failed to win any major awards. It received five below-the-line nominations (we'll see if cinematographer Roger Deakins finally wins an Oscar thanks to his work on Blade Runner 2049).
