What do you think led to Taron Egerton not getting a best actor nomination for Rocketman?

I think that was one of the biggest acting snubs of the last 5 years

Was it Timing/release date? Was it Rami Malek winning the previous year for bohemian Rhapsody?

(Jamie Bell should have also been nominated for supporting actor)

I am mostly upset that Edgerton’s performance wasn’t even recognized with a nomination considering that he actually sang in the movie. Taron crushed that performance. The Malek comparison is just there because he did less than Taron. Malek didn’t sing for his film and in that same year, beat out an actor that did sing (B. Cooper).

Taron Egerton won the Golden Globe for Musical or Comedy, as well as the International Press Academy Satellite for Comedy or Musical.

Both wins came against eventual Oscar nominee that year Leonardo DiCaprio for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and both when DiCaprio's movie won Best Picture for those categories, and Original Screenplay for the Golden Globes.

Egerton was also nominated by the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) and the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA)

His SAG nomination was over eventual Oscar nominees that year Jonathan Pryce for The Two Popes and Antonio Bandreas for Pain and Glory, and his BAFTA nomination over Banderas.

Egerton was both convincingly dramatic and comedic as Elton John and nailed his on and off stage persona and demeanor.

He sang every song in the film, and exceptionally so, and with some, he arguably betters Elton's original recordings.
