2019 Oscar Nominees: Snubs and Surprises1 of 12
SNUB: Bradley Cooper
Bradley Cooper's directorial debut was good enough for A Star Is Born to nab eight Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, and Best Actor and Actress nominations for himself and Lady Gaga. But it wasn't enough to give the actor a shot at Best Director. A Star Is Born was Cooper's vision from start to finish (he also received a nom for Best Adapted Screenplay), which is what makes this snub that much more surprising. At least we have the possibility of him and Gaga performing "Shallow" at the awards ceremony to keep us going.
