Entertainment/AP  by [Raisa Bruner](https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Jan 23, 2018 5:19 PM UTC Despite the fact that Patty Jenkins’s [_Wonder Woman_](http://time.com/4979257/the-women-behind-wonder-woman/) was the standout blockbuster of 2017, the beloved superhero movie found itself left out from [Oscars consideration](http://time.com/5112407/oscar-nominations-2018/) on Tuesday. When all was said and done at the nomination announcements, fans realized that [Gal Gadot](http://time.com/5100811/gal-gadot-critics-choice/), Jenkins and their team didn’t score nominations in any of the categories — a surprise for many, especially since many had considered it had potential in the Best Director and special effects categories, at the very least. It [wasn’t the only movie](http://time.com/5112354/2018-oscar-nominations-snubs-surprises/) that was seemingly snubbed, of course; actors like Tom Hanks and James Franco also found themselves out of the running. But in a year of women’s voices [rising to the top](http://time.com/money/5107657/times-up-go-fund-me-donations/), its absence felt especially jarring to some. Not to mention its significance: with [over $400 million](http://deadline.com/2017/12/star-wars-the-last-jedi-wonder-woman-box-office-gross-records-2017-1202232818/) in box office sales, _Wonder Woman_ was not only first female-fronted superhero movie of all time, but also the one of the biggest releases of the year.
