Lupita Nyong’o Fans Say She Was Snubbed By Oscars
On Monday (Jan. 13), the 2020 Oscar nominations were announced, and fans of the actress Lupita Nyong’o, including author Roxane Gay, think that she was snubbed.
Many fans referenced Nyong’o’s “two masterful” characters that she portrayed in Jordan Peele’s Us.
In the 2020 Oscar category for “Leading Actress,” Cynthia Erivo (Harriet), Scarlett Johansson (Marriage Story), Saoirse Ronan (Little Women), Charlize Theron (Bombshell), and Renee Zellweger (Judy) were nominated.
Check out what some of Nyong’o’s fans had to say on Twitter regarding her Oscar “snub.”

Jennifer fucking Lopez
Lupita fucking Nyong’o
Michael Abels’s score for Us
Any fucking women
Parasite acting anything (seriously, any of them)
But I’m glad Knives Out got a screenplay nomination.
God, these are really boring Oscar nominations
White women who had something to say about Greta Gerwig not being nominated conveniently have nothing to say about Lupita Nyong'o not being nominated.

Lupita can't get a nomination for that performance in Us, but #CynthiaErivo does? That's crazy.

I cannot wrap my head around the fact that @Lupita_Nyongo did not receive a nomination for US are you kidding me?! That performance was so good it gave me goosebumps. @TheAcademy

Lupita’s ungodly, sepulchral, enchanting and electric rasp of Red’s voice in Us was a completely transcendent and unforgettable performance. #snubbed https://t.co/nCleCM0knj
