Here are the 17 biggest Oscar snubs of 2018 by Carrie Wittmer on Jan 23, 2018, 11:25 AM Advertisement
 The Oscar nominations are finally here. 2017 was a competitive year in film, with a lot of great movies and performances. While some of the nominations were surprising in a good way — like Jordan Peele's directing nomination for "Get Out," and the best original screenplay nomination for "The Big Sick" — there were still some favorites left out. Comedy and action movies are largely ignored by the Academy, and this year was no different. "Wonder Woman," one of the best-reviewed movies of the year and a box-office hit, got zero nominations. The coming-of-age comedy "Lady Bird" secured five nominations and is a frontrunner in categories including best actress, best director, and best picture. But many comedies got much less recognition, including no nominations besides screenplay for "The Big Sick." The Oscars ceremony, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, will air Sunday, March 4, on ABC. So here are all the major Oscar snubs this year, from best picture and best director to best original song. SEE ALSO: Here's the complete list of the 2018 Oscar nominations Best Picture
"Wonder Woman"  "Wonder Woman" was great, and a box-office hit. It was the ninth highest grossing film of 2017. Action movies need more recognition at awards shows, and we were hoping this one would make the cut.
"Thor: Ragnarok"  This was obviously a long shot, but we have to include it in the snubs anyway. The third film in the "Thor" franchise was a tonal departure from the first two, and all the better for it. It was one of the most delightful movies of 2017, and one of the funniest comedies of the year. It deserves a little more respect than it's gotten.
