‘Wonder Woman’ was Completely Shut Out of This Year’s Oscars

Despite being nominated for both this year’s Critics Choice Awards and Screen Actors Guild Awards, Wonder Woman received exactly zero Oscar nominations on Tuesday. 

Superhero movies definitely aren’t award frontrunners; however, many thought that Wonder Woman would at least receive a nod in the Directing, Visual Effects or Costumes categories. Patty Jenkins was the first ever female director of an American studio superhero movie.

The film didn’t do too bad, either — it was just the highest-grossing superhero origin movie of all time, bringing in more than $800 million. NO BIG DEAL.

Twitter, as always, responded accordingly. 

I demand justice for Wonder Woman!
