The Academy has no love for "Wonder Woman." The 2018 Oscar nominations were announced Tuesday, and the top-grossing superhero film of the 2017 domestic box office was shut out of all 24 categories.
Starring Gal Gadot as the titular superhero, the Patty Jenkins-helmed "Wonder Woman" won over fans and film critics alike. The film went on to gross $413 million domestic and $822 million worldwide during its theatrical run.
Among those to recognize "Wonder Woman" in the lead-up to the academy's announcement were the Producers Guild of America and the Screen Actors Guild. The film was among the nominees for the PGA's Darryl F. Zanuck Award and nabbed a SAG Award win for action performance by a stunt ensemble in a motion picture.
But it seems Diana of Themyscira's box-office clout held no sway over academy voters. In fact, "Wonder Woman" is the highest domestic grossing film of 2017 to receive zero Oscar nominations.
The academy recognized both "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" and "Beauty and the Beast," the only films with higher domestic grosses than "Wonder Woman." "The Last Jedi" earned four nominations (original score, sound editing, sound mixing and visual effects), while "Beauty and the Beast" nabbed 2 nods (costume design, production design).
Even other superhero films fared better than "Wonder Woman." "Logan" picked up an adapted screenplay nomination, while "Guardians of the Galaxy 2" was among the visual effects nominees.
