Oscars 2017: 10 Biggest Snubs and Surprises

Surprise: Michael Shannon

There was an uproar over the Best Supporting Actor categories at this year’s Golden Globes. Everyone thought that Mahershala Ali had it in the bag, but it ended up going to Aaron Taylor Johnson for Nocturnal Animals. However, Aaron Taylor Johnson’s name wasn’t called for the Academy Awards; instead, his co-star, Michael Shannon, got the nomination. Shannon has been an indie darling for years but has recently come into the spotlight. He’s beyond talented and deserves an award, but 2016 should be Ali’s year.
