The movie’s content clearly is impactful and worthy of praise. Fans have showered the movie with love wholeheartedly. However, the opinion of The Academy seems to differ from that of the fans. The Academy has different plans for the 2024 Oscar Awards to be held at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.

Industry Insider Expresses His Enragement OverThe Iron Claw‘s Oscars Snub

On July 17, 2025, when Zazie Beetz and Jack Quaid announced the list of Oscar nominees, it was a surprise thatThe Iron Clawwas not on the list. The main protagonists,Zac Efronand Jeremy Allen White did an exceptional job in the movie and still didn’t get a place in the Oscar nominees’ list. Fans are blaming The Academy for neglecting such fine art.

Here is what industry insider Jeff Sneider posted onXin support of the film:

A Still from The Iron Claw

“Watched THE IRON CLAW again. The Academy — and A24, frankly — did that movie dirty. Shoulda gotten the FOXCATCHER treatment.”

Watched THE IRON CLAW again. The Academy — and A24, frankly — did that movie dirty. Shoulda gotten the FOXCATCHER treatment. Durkin’s best movie by far. Will age better than most of the Best Picture nominees.

People also think that the movie’s failure to get into the list of nominees is also a failure of the associated entertainment company. If only A24 had a better movie promotion, the film could have gotten a chance to be noticed by the voters.

The Academy Didn’t Acknowledge Some of the Best in the Industry

Not just Zac Efron and Jeremy Allen White fromThe Iron Claw, butthere are a few other actors and actresses who got snubbed in the 2024 Oscar Awards. It would not be wrong to start the mentions withLeonardo DiCaprio. DiCaprio did phenomenal work inKillers of the Flower Moon. His co-star got selected for the Best Actress nomination, but DiCaprio couldn’t make it into the list of Best Actor.
