Here's the definition of snub:
I hear the word "snub" being used for actors, actresses, directors, and writers who do not receive an Oscar nomination. Is that really the right word to use? The word implies that the action was intentional or that the Academy had some axe to grind against person X or movie x. From my standpoint, there are only five spots for 23/24 categories. The only one with more than 5 is Best Picture. Just because somebody didn't get in, doesn't necessarily mean it was a snub. Who knows, maybe the Actor or Director, was #6 or #7 on their list.

* Language - in this way - is my pet issue in life .......the way people say "words no longer mean what they meant" ........this is true but also usually a form of trickery - political trickery actually - .........it is always - always about who controls language , who can and can't use it......- in America the Right preposterously makes up words as code for horrifying language dumbfuckery ........the Regressive Left however seizes existing words and generously tells you what they now mean - words like "inflation" or "recession" ........ummm .........Oh it's true, it's damn true....... I think on one level I agree with you ..........and yet the politicization of language - is so charged and evil really - I am gonna say let actresses, actors, directors and writers use whatever words they like ......I told stephen today that he was misusing the term "inevitable" but that was a playful joke really.............. what I really, really thnk is actually inevitable is that people will just keep using "snub" in the wrong way anyway  .......and that's ok........a little outrage is good..............sometimes a lot of outrage is good too tbh  |

We should use "snrub" instead.

I prefer to say that the person in question simply missed or got left out.

To me, a snub is reserved for cases when you have all the industry support from every other significant body and don't get in at the Oscars. If it's just stuff I like missing out? That's not a snub, that's just dumbassery.

Also, if I feel that a particular actor for a performance was deserving but missed, I may say they were robbed, but like I said, I don't care for the term snubbed.

It’s definitely overused. Not every miss is a “snub.”

Andrew Scott being passed over by the BAFTAs the way he was. Now THAT was truly a SNUB. None of the ones in these Oscar noms are it.

"Robbed" is more egregious as the accolade was never in the actual possession of the subject "victim"to begin with.

Well snub is just a bit easier to say/write than Oscar "didn't get enough votes", Oscar "film wasn't seen enough", Oscar "we like the person, so we didn't mean to ignore them disdainfully we just ignored them".

It is more clickbait material. Adds drama. I usually say "missed" or "failed to make the cut". |
