Challengers Was Completely Snubbed By The Oscars, And Fans Are Really Unhappy About Its Score Not Getting Love

by

The height of Awards Season has arrived, and today, the Academy Award nominees were unveiled to the public. Movies such as “The Substance” garnered numerous nominations, but unexpectedly, Luca Guadagnino’s “Challengers” (which can be streamed with an Amazon Prime subscription) failed to receive any recognition at all. Although the entire film was deserving of accolades, viewers are particularly disheartened by the snubbing of its score.

In a nutshell, the complicated romantic situation in the film “Challengers” unfolds over many years. The film’s unique time-jumping narrative is enhanced by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross’s captivating music that keeps the energy high throughout. Although it won Best Score at this year’s Golden Globes, it was snubbed by The Academy in their awards. Fans are expressing their discontent on Twitter using various funny comments, tweets, and memes. One example of this can be seen below, where someone shares a clip from the movie showcasing its excellent score.

As a supporter, I believe that although all the nominees for Best Score did commendable work, particularly on musicals like “Wicked” and “Emilia Pérez”, the score for “Challengers” stood out as exceptionally significant to the overall film. In fact, the score garnered such popularity that it saw a surge in streams on various streaming platforms post the movie’s release.

There’s an abundance of amusing reactions online to the Challengers, particularly regarding its score. Fans are expressing their disappointment using well-known memes from various TV shows as a form of expression. For instance, consider this tweet that employs a scene from Breaking Bad.

Alongside the film’s audio, many cinema-goers anticipated that the actors in Challengers, including Emmy-winning actress Zendaya, would receive acting nods. In fact, some are taking to Twitter to express their astonishment at the movie’s overlooked nominations. Here are a few examples:
