We're so psyched -- and a little bit shocked! -- that Melissa McCarthy received an Oscar nomination Tuesday morning for her hilarious, raunchy role in "Bridesmaids." But other celebs were not so lucky.
Like Leonardo DiCaprio, who was snubbed in the best actor category for his role as an aging, sexually repressed J. Edgar Hoover in "J. Edgar." DiCaprio won praise and a Golden Globe nod for the role, but critics were mixed on the movie (and the makeup).
Bad-ass "Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” heroine Rooney Mara scored a best actress nod, but director David Fincher was ignored (the movie was also left out of the best picture category). And George Clooney praised his, er, "gifts" at the Golden Globes, but Michael Fassbender was left out of the best actor category for his buzzy role as a sex addict. What a "Shame."
From DiCaprio to "Cars 2" to Steven Spielberg, click through our slideshow and let us know: What was the biggest Oscar snub this year?

Ferηαηdσ [Clinton2016] 2012/01/24 16:30:19Leonardo DiCaprio, "J. Edgar"+9DiCaprio is always snubbed. He is underrated in Hollywood and deserves way more recognition than he is given.
I'm also annoyed that Harry Potter was snubbed. It was better reviewed by critics than any of the nominees in the Best Picture category.
Btw, Cars 2 was terrible and should never have been made considering how good the first one was.

I'm sure if J. Edgar were alive today he'd be railing about all these damn Communists who keep passing Republican policies.
Dicaprio is mediocre as an actor.
'Dragon Tattoo' was amazing. I watched the original European version.
We Need To Talk About Kevin - i'm surprised she isn't nominated. She gave one of the best performances of the year.
Who ever voted Cars 2... Why? It was the worst Pixar movie ever, and was the most disappointing film of that year. It was a waste of time and doesn't deserve it's Pixar label, let alone to be nominated for an Oscar.
His day will come.
Five movies, most of them successful.
He brings such character to his rules. He desevered it.
When she was leaving him, his voice just had so much emotion, and he even cried. My mom watched the mini-series of Jane Eyre when she was younger, and that Rochester didn't make you want to cry with him. He is just an amazing actor.
