The Barbenheimer box office showdown may be behind us, but the friendly competition between the two mega hits continues to rage as the awards season approaches. With Barbie and Oppenheimer each nabbing multiple Golden Globe nominations, it's a safe assumption that they'll be among the most nominated films at this year's Oscars. With Hollywood's biggest night on the horizon, the respective shortlists for various categories are narrowing. Recently, according to Variety, the shortlist for Best Visual Effects was cut down to 20 contenders, and curiously missing from the bunch was Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer. Unsurprisingly, its exclusion has raised some eyebrows and begged an inevitable question: how did a film that's lauded for stunning visuals and ingenious practical effects get overlooked for consideration of the industry's highest honor?
