Despite a remarkable year for horror films in 2024, highlighted by successes like Nosferatu and I Saw the TV Glow, the Oscars largely overlooked the genre, with only The Substance receiving nominations. This snubbing reflects the Academy's continued disconnect with contemporary cinema. As horror adeptly captures modern anxieties related to climate, politics, and technology, this disregard is particularly alarming. Historically, horror films have seldom been recognized, with only seven nominated for Best Picture since 1929, calling for the Academy to acknowledge it as significant cinema deserving of accolades.
When looking at the wide range of horror films released in 2024, including critical successes like Nosferatu and I Saw the TV Glow, their absence from Oscar nominations is shameful.
The Oscars' long-standing snubbing of horror films seems increasingly out of touch, especially given the genre's rise in relevance during these times of societal dread.
