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.
SODAHEAD SLIDESHOW: See this year's biggest Oscar snubs.
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, let us know: What was the biggest Oscar snub this year?

This not only gives other new actors/resses a chance to win, but it also creates a more fair selection process. I find that if Actor A did a lot better than Actor B over the last year, but B has racked up the last ten Oscars, they would give it to B just for that reason.
I mean, how many awards do you need in order to be convinced you're a good actor/ress? If you've won it almost every year and you're still not convinced, you have SERIOUS self-esteem issues.
