A Big Surprise: The Oscar Snub That Has Everyone Talking

The 2026 Oscar nominations are out, and they've got everyone buzzing. While the horror genre is finally getting its due, one movie's absence is making waves. Sorry, Baby, directed by Eva Victor, has been a critical darling all year, but the Academy didn't give it a single nod. This is a big deal because the movie has been praised for its honest look at healing after trauma. Sorry, Baby tells the story of Agnes, a woman who survives an attempted sexual assault. The movie doesn't dwell on the tragedy but instead focuses on the everyday setbacks and unexpected comforts Agnes finds on her journey to recovery. Critics have loved it, giving it a 97% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. But despite all the praise, the Oscars didn't recognize it in any category.Eva Victor's work on Sorry, Baby has been especially highlighted. She wrote and directed the film and also stars in it. Her performance has been called passionate and humane. But it's not just her acting that's impressive. The way she structured the story lets the audience see the deeper parts of healing. It's surprising that the Oscars didn't even give it a nod for Best Picture. Sorry, Baby did get some love from the Golden Globes. Eva Victor was nominated for Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical. Julia Roberts even gave the movie a shoutout during the ceremony. She told everyone to watch it if they hadn't already. But the Oscars didn't follow suit, and that's left many people disappointed. This snub is even more surprising because A24, the studio behind Sorry, Baby, has had success before. Last year, their movie Anora won Best Picture. So, why didn't Sorry, Baby get any recognition? It's a question that has everyone talking.
