Among the many talented people who were snubbed by the Academy during yesterday?s nominations announcement was Mary J. Blige, whose theme song ?The Living Proof? for The Help didn?t make it unto the short list of nominees for Best Original Song. Ms. Blige did not take the snub well and took to Twitter to express her grief. Find out what her reaction was.
Shortly after the nominations were announced the singer Tweeted her thoughts over the Academy snub.
?I?m so thankful for true fans like you all. It saddens me & feels like the Academy is being mean. 2 only nominate 2 of the 5 slots is??
The Academy usually nominates up to five songs, but this year they decided to cut down to two (even though they had space for five). The two lucky songs are ?Real in Rio? from Rio and ?Man or Muppet? from The Muppets.
But MJB wasn?t the only singer who got snubbed. Madonna and Elton John also got left out of the Oscar running.
Fortunately, The Help did manage to nab a bunch of other nominations including Best Picture, Best Leading Actress, and two noms for Best Supporting Actress.
MJB should know that�Tate Taylor, the man who helmed The Help was completely snubbed by The Globes and The Oscars. At least, she got a nomination from the foreign press.
Do you think MJB deserved to get a nomination?
