9. Don't Look Up

With stars like Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence, and Meryl Streep, Don’t Look Up screamed Oscar bait. The movie had a hefty budget of $75 million and combined satire, climate change themes, and an A-list cast to aim for award season glory. Directed by Adam McKay in 2021, the film did snag a few Oscar nominations but went home empty-handed. While it won some smaller awards, critics felt its humour was too on-the-nose, making it more divisive than impactful.
