Why Do the Oscars Reject Horror? Mia Goth Says It’s ‘Very Political’ and ‘A Change Is Necessary’ After Pearl Shut Out
that earned some of the best reviews of 2022, and yet the Academy’s resistance to the horror genre meant Goth was never a serious contender.when asked about her “Pearl” Oscar snub and the Academy’s continual rejection of horror. “It’s not entirely based on the quality of a project per se. There’s a lot going on there and a lot of cooks in the kitchen when it comes to nominations. Maybe I shouldn’t say that, but I think that’s true. I think a lot of people know that.
“A change is necessary,” Goth added. “A shift should take place if they wanted to engage with the wider public. I think it would be of benefit, really, [to nominate horror movies].” The Academy has recognized horror projects in the past. “The Silence of the Lambs” won best picture, while Peele won best original screenplay for “Get Out.” That film also picked up nominations for best director and best picture, as did “The Sixth Sense.” But a horror film being recognized by the Academy still feels like an exception to the rule.came forward with a glowing review
of the West-directed horror melodrama. The director shared: “‘Pearl’ makes for a wild, mesmerizing, deeply — and I mean deeply — disturbing 102 minutes. West and his muse and creative partner Mia Goth really know how to toy with their audience… before they plunge the knife into our chests and start twisting. I was enthralled, then disturbed, then so unsettled that I had trouble getting to sleep. But I couldn’t stop watching.
“I knew it was an important moment in the script,” Goth said. “I didn’t necessarily know how big it was going to be. I don’t really like to think through the scenes in too much detail, to be honest. I do all of my prep, but I honestly think that my body always has far better ideas than my head does.”I spoke with Mia Goth about not getting a Best Actress Oscar nomination for PEARL — and why the Academy doesn’t take the horror genre seriously enough.
