I might be biased since this is probably my favorite movie ever, but I feel like Eternal Sunshine was majorly snubbed, and I don't understand why.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was nominated for two Oscars: Best Original Screenplay and Best Actress for Kate Winslet. It won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay.

I think, reasonably, it could've been nominated for Best Picture, Best Actor (Jim Carrey), Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction (Production Design), Best Film Editing, Best Sound Editing, Best Sound Mixing, Best Original Score, and Best Visual Effects. If it was made today, I think it gets a nom for Best Casting too.

For me it wins Best Film Editing, Cinematography (both over *The Aviator*)*,* and Best Sound Mixing (over *Ray)*. I think it could reasonably win Score (over *Finding Neverland*), Sound Editing (over *The Incredibles*), and Art Direction (over *The Aviator*). Though these are unlikely wins I would vote for Best Picture (over *Million Dollar Baby*), and as such Best Director (over *Million Dollar Baby*).

What I don't understand is how it wasn't even nominated in *any* of these categories. Even if you disagree with my exact picks, I think most of us agree that at least a few of these are crazy. Not even being nominated in Editing is egregious.

Does anybody have any insight? It's not like people were unaware of it, as it won Screenplay. Was it just anti-Jim Carrey bias, or possibly bad timing (came out in March)? Maybe the relatively low box office numbers didn't drive enough people to care about it? Is it just too weird and confusing? 

And if it was made today, would it be more successful at the awards? Pull off something similar to EEAAO? 

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is in a weird place in snub history
