Horror performances are usually left in the cold by the Oscars, but the snubbing of Toni Collette in Hereditary is perhaps one of the most egregious examples. The visceral performance by the actress- as a disturbing mother writhing in terror-gained her applause. Her monologues were gut-wrenching, and her breakdowns were visceral enough to have audiences wordless. Her work was said to be Oscar-worthy, but the Academy simply ignored both her and the film.
