Denis Villeneuve Disappointed To Find Amy Adams Not Nominated For Oscar

After Amy Adams, the talented Hollywood actress failed to grab a nomination for the Academy Awards 2017, for her much appreciated and critically applauded performance in the sci-fi film Arrival, the director of the movie Denis Villeneuve said he was highly disappointed.

The director said, it is quite hard for him to believe, Amy Adams name didn't show up in the probables for Oscar this year despite her magnificent performance in the movie in the role of a linguist. However, the sci-fi film itself has acquired eight nominations at the Oscar.

"It was so strange. When they announced, at one point we were like, I think, already five nominations or something like that, so we were like popping the champagne..." Said the director in a statement.

"When I saw that she was not nominated, it was such a big disappointment, because she's the soul, she was my muse. I owe her everything for 'Arrival'." Denis Villeneuve added further.

However, the director also said that it was a mixed feeling for him when he found his name shortlisted at the Oscar, but Amy Adam's name was missing.

"So when they announced my name, it was like a strange mix of emotion. A lot of joy and sadness at the same time. Very strange experience," Denis Villeneuve explained.
