2019 Oscar Nominees: Snubs and Surprises6 of 12
SURPRISE: Willem Dafoe
As much as we love Willem Dafoe, we were still surprised to see him announced in the Best Actor nominations pool. While his performance as Vincent van Gogh was well received, he missed out on a Screen Actors Guild nomination (usually a pretty good Oscar predictor), and At Eternity's Gate was definitely a low-profile project, earning $2.1 million at the box office. But, after three previous nominations and no wins, we're definitely not sad to see Dafoe get another shot at Oscar glory!
