2017 Oscar Nominees: Snubs and Surprises8 of 14
Surprise: Passengers
Sci-fi adventure Passengers, starring Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt, delivered decent box office but generated an average critical response. So it was something of a surprise to see it secure two Oscar nominations.
It is less surprising, however, when you consider those nominations came for the film's notable production design — from Guy Hendrix Dyas, who was up for an Oscar in 2011 for his work on Inception — and the original score from the now 14-time Oscar-nominated composer Thomas Newman.
