The Complete History of Horror Movies at the Oscars

Horror has often been underrepresented at the Academy Awards, with scary movies loved by fans and critics alike often failing to receive nominations. Although the genre has not been completely absent from the Oscars, it is often restricted to the technical categories. However, six horror movies have broken through and received a Best Picture nomination. These acclaimed films made a huge impact, with all of them receiving multiple nominations and most of them getting at least one win. There have been several other horror movies that have picked up nominations throughout the almost 100-year history of the Oscars. However, in recent years, there have been unignorable snubs towards the horror genre, particularly when it comes to performances. Unfortunately, recent horror movies have failed to gain much representation at all. Despite this, there is still a long, colorful, and interesting history shared between horror and the Oscars. With the 96th ceremony fast approaching, now is a perfect opportunity to look back at all the times the Academy rightfully acknowledged horror movies.
