A list of sci-fi movies that were overlooked for oscars has been compiled, with some outlets suggesting specific films from the 21st century or 90s that deserved to win. However, the exact criteria and films included on the list appear to vary, with some outlets focusing on successful sci-fi movies at the oscars and others on oscar-winning films in the genre. The lists seem to highlight a range of sci-fi movies, including some that did and did not receive oscar recognition.
