The Oscars 2019 nominations were released, with The Favourite and Roma leading the pack in terms of nods.

However, while there were some awkward snubs in the mix – we’re looking at you, Bradley Cooper – there was one film that was left off every single category, Paddington 2.

Yes, seriously.

Everyone’s favourite bear from Peru was downright ignored by the Academy, and fans are quite rightly outraged.


Flocking to Twitter, a fan posted: ‘Paddington 2 not getting a nom is the most egregious Oscar snub of the century.’

Paddington 2 didn't get nominated for a single Oscar and that's the real shame. — Kevin (@caramelmessiah) January 22, 2019

Another unimpressed viewer said: ‘Paddington 2 was NOT nominated for an Oscar but that’s okay bc real art doesn’t need a stamp of approval from an institution.’



While one channelled Ariana Grande in their outrage, tweeting: ‘Paddington 2 was SNUBBED Oscars are cancelled thank u, next!’

We completely agree.

Justice for Hugh Grant, Ben Whishaw, Imelda Staunton and the gang, tbh!

While Paddington was wrongly snubbed, fans might feel a little better about the whole thing with the news that a third film is most definitely on the way.

Producer David Heyman confirmed the news, but hinted Paul King might not be the one in the director’s seat.

‘Paul is involved in it, I wanted him to be involved in it because I think he’s such a significant voice, but I don’t think he’ll direct it,’ he told Collider.

‘He worked on the idea… he comes up with the idea with Simon Farnaby and Mark Burton and then they develop it and come back for more, back and forth, and then it’ll get written and Paul will come in and stir it up a little bit.

‘But he’s an incredible collaborator, Paul. Very positive, very supportive.’

However, Paddington getting left off every single one of the 24 categories for the upcoming Oscars, this wasn’t the only snub to make headlines.

In fact, Bradley Cooper found his name not included on the shortlist for Best Director – for A Star Is Born – with Spike Lee, Pawel Pawlikowski, Yorgos Lanthimos, Alfonso Cuarón and Adam McKay getting nods instead.

A little awkward but whatever…

Brad was still nominated in the Best Actor category, so he still has a chance to take home another trophy on the night.

Paddington, however, will just have to settle for a night in with his marmalade sandwiches.
