Surprises & Snubs: 92nd Annual Oscar Nominations

 I found two pleasant surprises and three unpleasant snubs in the Oscar nominations list this morning. Below is my poem of explanation.

There are nine Best Pictures on the list

but Gerwig as Director missed.

It’s five men’s names all we can see.

So how did this snub come to be?

But KLAUS gets recognized at last

for animation. It’s a blast!

And Johansson earns two nods here.

That’s a reason for fans to cheer.

Why is Lupita without one?

In US her work was so well done.

And THE FAREWELL must say goodbye

No Oscar nod. They sure did try.

Just another awards event.

2020 – it came and went.

For statuettes we must await.

February Ninth -- don’t be late.
