The 2025 Oscar nominations have sparked controversy due to several notable snubs, particularly the exclusion of Pamela Anderson and Angelina Jolie. Anderson, who received acclaim for her role in 'The Last Showgirl' and was previously nominated for a Golden Globe and a SAG Award, did not receive an Oscar nomination, leading to outrage among her fans. Anderson's reaction to the snub was measured, stating, 'Doing the work is the win.' Similarly, Angelina Jolie was overlooked for her role in 'Maria,' while Denzel Washington was also notably absent from the nominations for his performance in 'Gladiator II.' Other prominent figures such as Selena Gomez and Nicole Kidman were also shut out, marking a year with numerous surprises and disappointments in the nominations.
