Despite immense talent, some performances remain overlooked at the Academy Awards due to factors like limited promotional budgets, niche film genres, and the overwhelming competition from larger, more publicized productions.

Many outstanding performances have been overlooked by major awards, such as Jake Gyllenhaal's intense portrayal in "Nightcrawler" and Toni Collette's haunting role in "Hereditary," both of which captivated audiences but eluded recognition.

While the Academy Awards celebrate cinematic excellence, numerous performances are often overlooked. These under-recognized acts, despite their depth and nuance, reveal the subjective nature of acclaim and the complexities of the voting process.
