There have been numerous deserving films over the years that were somehow overlooked by the Academy.

Sure, it’s easy to assume that certain films don’t get nominated because they’re not what Oscar voters would usually go for, but there have been some surprises in the past.

This means films like DC’s Suicide Squad may have been mauled by the critics, but still get recognized by the Academy (it went on to win), which is ridiculous when you consider classics such as Don’t Look Now or The King of Comedy didn’t even get recognized.

Below are the 10 most surprising films that didn’t receive an Oscar nomination in any category.
1. American Psycho
2. Before Sunrise
3. The Big Heat
4. The Big Lebowski
5. Blow Out
6. Breathless
7. Bringing Up Baby
8. Don’t Look Now
9. Donnie Darko
10. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
