Snubbed

Certain directors, expecting to see Their names on the nominee slate, Might have been shocked, as the rest of us were, ‘Cause omissions are cause for debate. Kathryn and Quentin and Argo’s guy, Ben, Were snubbed or forgotten or worse; Rumors were floating with people to blame And reasons both strange and perverse. Though all of their films got a “Best Picture” nod, Perhaps all the voters believe Directors don’t really contribute that much Or at least less than those three perceive. I know I’d feel slighted if it had been me, But grousing out loud’s not allowed; Still, to Quentin and Kathryn and Ben, I must say I saw all of your films and was wowed!
