The ‘Past Lives’ Actors’ Oscar Snubbing Is Sad, but Not Surprising

There’s no way for the Academy Awards to recognize everyone from a year of cinema at one ceremony. Inevitably, with only a finite number of slots around, somebody’s going to be left off the nominees list. However, even with this inescapable facet of reality firmly established, it was still disappointing that Celine Song’s masterpiece Past Lives didn’t secure more Oscar love. Garnering a nomination for Best Picture, the only other category at the 96th Academy Awards that Past Lives had a presence in was Best Original Screenplay. Two mighty and worthy nods, but how come none of the film’s actors managed to get recognition? Greta Lee, Teo Yoo, and John Magaro were all integral to the feature’s success, yet were snubbed by the Academy.
