Why ‘Asteroid City’ by Wes Anderson was snubbed at the Oscars

Wes Anderson’s latest film, ‘Asteroid City’, was a visually stunning and uniquely crafted movie that captured the hearts of audiences. Set in 1955, the film combined science fiction elements with a deep dive into the New York theater scene. With a star-studded cast including Jason Schwartzman and Scarlett Johansson, Anderson’s signature deadpan dialogue shone through. Despite its brilliance, ‘Asteroid City’ failed to secure any nominations at the Academy Awards. While some may argue that Anderson’s style is too niche, the film’s flawless execution and unique storytelling deserved recognition. As we reflect on the 96th Oscars ceremony, it’s evident that ‘Asteroid City’ was a true standout that was unfortunately overlooked.
