And the snub goes to …

The , and the snubs are brutal — including Margot Robbie, Leonardo DiCaprio and more. 

Many of the nominations were expected: “Oppenheimer” got a total of 13 nods — including Best Actor for Cillian Murphy, Best Supporting Actor for Robert Downey Jr. and Best Director for Christopher Nolan.

Bradley Cooper got nominated for “Maestro,” Emma Stone scored a nod for “Poor Things,” and Lily Gladstone earned a nomination for “Killers of the Flower Moon,” making history as the first Native American actress from the United States to get this recognition.

But, this year’s selection also had some head-scratching choices — and outlandish exclusions.

The Oscars historically don’t reward comedy performances, so that’s essentially a throwaway nomination to leave the Supporting Actor category a race against his other four competitors.

The movie also got a Best Picture nod, but star Margot Robbie and director Greta Gerwig both got snubbed. 

How can a movie get a Best Picture nomination without recognition for its director? Did “Barbie” direct itself? 

Piers Morgan reacted to the Robbie snub and Gosling nod (formerly Twitter) afterward. “Greta & Margot snubbed.. Ryan nominated.. = The Patriarchy has the last laugh. #Oscars,” he wrote.

Bizarrely, America Ferrera nabbed a nomination for that flick (for Best Supporting Actress). She was fine in that role and delivered what it needed, but it was not Oscar material on any planet. It would be like if Zooey Deschanel had gotten an Oscar nomination for her supporting role the year that “Elf” came out.

Even the animated category wasn’t free from snubs, as it ignored Disney’s “Wish” starring Ariana DeBose and Chris Pine.

In addition to Gosling and Downey Jr., the Best Supporting Actor category gave recognition to Sterling K. Brown (“American Fiction”), Robert De Niro (“Killers of the Flower Moon”), and Mark Ruffalo (“Poor Things”). 

There are two glaring absences from that category: Leonardo DiCaprio’s slimy portrayal of Ernest Burkhart in “Killers of the Flower Moon,” and Charles Melton’s heartbreaking portrayal of grooming survivor Joe in

(a snub that many ).

In fact, the entire movie “May December” got snubbed, save for a Best Screenplay nod — including Julianne Moore, Natalie Portman and director Todd Haynes, despite the fact that Melton, Moore and Portman got Golden Globe nominations.

Emerald Fennell’s starring Jacob Elordi, also got snubbed. Maybe or the was too much for the Academy Awards’ sensibilities. But at the very least, it could have given a nod to Barry Keoghan. Especially when the Oscars had time for him last year, when he (deservedly) got nominated for “The Banshees of Inisherin.”

We can only hope somebody will slap host Jimmy Kimmel to liven up this year’s telecast.

“I was so confused and insecure. Because I thought I was beautiful. So many people told me I was beautiful. Who am I? I feel like a vase shattered across the ground, and left there in the alleyway. A chandelier that was cut from the ceiling, and then all the people left the house. I can’t imagine on this day, what it would feel like to recover. Am I allowed to be this sad? Am I allowed to lay on the ground in a heap and wail? I want to have hands again, and legs. I want to smile. I want to believe that I can. But again, I want to be sad for the rest of time. I want to wear my sadness in long strands. I want to lay on the ocean floor and weep stalactites. For a hundred years. A tree has fallen onto my chest. The sky is spinning, and it won’t slow down. I don’t want to feel any of this.” A excerpt of an untitled essay from NIGHTBIRDE The NIGHTBIRDE book “Poems for the dark” should be available for presale soon. We hope Jane’s words make you all feel less alone in your human experience. Photo by Jacqueline Day #nightbirde #poetry #essay #poem #nightbird #agt #itsOk #inspire #hope #faith #cancerJourney
