The Oscar nominations are in…which means so are the Oscar snubs of 2025. After this year’s delightfully unpredictable Golden Globes, Rachel Sennott and Bowen Yang announced this year’s Oscar nominees live from the Academy’s Samuel Goldwyn Theater on January 23. And there were some shocking upsets.
Sure, some of those upsets were far from upsetting—see Monica Barbaro’s well-deserved supporting actress nomination for A Complete Unknown—but many of this year’s buzziest performers and creatives were knocked out of their respective categories before they could even step into the ring. Arguably, the biggest snubs can be traced back to the best actress and supporting actress categories, proving there were just too many stunning performances by women to possibly reward them all. Of course, that doesn’t mean the internet agrees with Academy voters about the women they left out…
Here are some of the biggest Oscar snubs of the 2025 Oscar nominations, and what people had to say about them.

Pamela Anderson, Best Actress—The Last Showgirl
Honestly, the best actress category seemed to be the most competitive of the year, with Demi Moore taking the lead as a likely front-runner (I’m still feeling emotional about her Golden Globes acceptance speech, by the way). While I can’t imagine removing any of the women who made the cut, I can’t help but ache for Pamela Anderson, who shone in The Last Showgirl, a Gia Coppola film about a Las Vegas dancer reckoning with the abrupt end of her show’s 30-year run. And neither can the internet.
