Oscar voters snubbed big names including Jennifer Lopez, Eddie Murphy and Robert De Niro, while issuing a surprise first Academy Award nomination to actor Antonio Banderas for Spanish film ‘Pain and Glory’
- Hollywood’s Oscar voters passed over big names including Jennifer Lopez, Eddie Murphy and Robert De Niro on Monday, while issuing a surprise first Academy Award nomination to actor Antonio Banderas for Spanish film “Pain and Glory.”
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the roughly 8,000-member group that hands out the Oscars, also continued Hollywood’s streak of giving a cold shoulder to Robert De Niro’s performance in “The Irishman.” “It’s an amazing movie, a truly great performance that shows that Adam Sandler really had a kind of greatness in him,” Gleiberman said.

Cynthia Erivo was nominated for her lead role as anti-slavery activist Harriet Tubman in “Harriet.”Slideshow
