1977’s Snubbies were dominated by two sci-fi blockbusters, one which scored a bunch of Oscar nominations, and one which, inexplicably, didn’t. To no one’s surprise, Star Wars was well-represented, winning Carrie Fisher a second Best Snubbed Actress for Princess Leia (she also won for Return of the Jedi), James Earl Jones his second for Darth Vader (he also won for Jedi), not to mention Best Snubbed Supporting Actor Peter Cushing, and Best Cast.

1977’s other sci-fi totem, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, got less love from Oscar, but love for Richard Dreyfuss, who won Best Snubbed Actor, and a Best Snubbed Picture award. Rounding out the year is Best Snubbed Director David Lynch for Eraserhead, Best Snubbed Supporting Actress Madeline Kahn for High Anxiety, and a Best Stuntwork nod for The Spy Who Loved Me. Funny enough, the Bond series has 3 Stuntwork trophies from the Craig era, two (and counting) from Roger Moore, and none from Brosnan or Dalton.

Now, on to 1976, in which one of the strongest Best Picture slates of all time was won by perhaps the unlikeliest nominee, Rocky. But besides those surprised other nominees, there were plenty of snubs. So, as always, feel free to suggest any film or performance, and upvote as many as you feel are deserving. Top five vote-getters in each category will be our Snubby nominees, which we’ll vote on next week. Remember this is only an exhibition, this is not a competition. Please, I implore you, no wagering.
