Spielberg not only wasn't snubbed; he made history today!

With ''West Side Story,'' his first movie musical, Spielberg has now been nominated 11 times for producing a Best Picture nominee.

Most notably, he might be the only one to have been nominated for Best Director in 6 successive decades:

* ''Close Encounters'' (1977)
* ''Raiders of the Lost Ark'' (1981) and ''E.T.'' (1982)
* ''Schindler's List'' (1993) and Saving Private Ryan'' (1998); these two are his Directing Oscar wins
* ''Munich'' (2005)
* ''Lincoln'' (2012)
* ''West Side Story'' (2021)

Spielberg does have a notable snub, though; ''The Color Purple'' got 11 Oscar nominations, but not one for directing. However, he won the DGA.

Spielberg might know how Denis Villeneuve feels today: ''Dune'' got 10 Oscar nominations, but none for his directing of that sci-fi epic.

My mistake; I was tired and simply had a brain-lapse. (I’d momentarily forgotten that it was Denis Villeneuve and not Spielberg who’d gotten overlooked in the directing category!)
