I don't think so. I was surprised he got the SAG nomination, but I don't think he will get an Oscar nod. His performance was fine, but not great.

he should have been nominated for uncut gems.

Agreed.

I agree hownos his performance in Uncut Gems was as good or better than anyone whose one an Oscar, outside of a Day Lewis performance.
I also think his performances in Reign Over Me as well as Punch Drunk Love were at the very least, Oscar nomination worthy.

He was good but not that good

Juancho Hernangomez should get the Oscar nomination. He played the second coming of a werewolf Scottie Pippen, when he's really just an NBA bench player (5 points and 3 rebounds per game for his career, around 12 points and 8 rebounds per 36 minutes, if he had a chance to play more).

It's amazing how good even the average players in the NBA are. I've gone to NBA summer league games in Las Vegas, where most of the players are only hoping to make the league, and the basketball skill level is very impressive.
