Gal Gadot’s ‘Wonder Woman’ also cold-shouldered by the Oscars

It’s not just Israel’s nominee for Best Foreign Languge film that got no love from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences this year, it’s also Israel’s breakout film star.

The Associated Press notes that Gal Gadot’s “Wonder Woman” received zero Oscar nominations, even in a year that was surprisingly friendly to big budget hits (like “Logan” and “Star Wars: The Last Jedi”).

Of course, a blockbuster superhero film was not going to clinch any acting or best screenplay nominations, but the “Wonder Woman” team could have reasonably hoped to get some nods in technical categories such as visual effects, editing, makeup etc.

Not this time.
