What may happen as a result of someone getting one too many Award Snubs. Basically, someone in the entertainment industry has gone too long without winning a particular award, despite their work being considered some of the best in their field. Eventually, they do end up winning the award... but for something considered pretty inferior to the rest of their work. Ironically, this ends up continuing the cycle of snubs, since, well, someone better has to lose. |

James Baskett, the lead actor of Song of the South, was given an "Honorary Oscar" at that year's Academy Award because at the time, an African American wasn't going to be nominated for a lead role. | |

Metallica won a Consolation Grammy Award after losing Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance to (shockingly) Jethro Tull the year before, with drummer Lars Ulrich facetiously thanking Jethro Tull for not putting out an album that year during his acceptance speech. The Grammys finally realized how much Metallica had contributed to heavy metal and decided to give the award for their Self-Titled Album, Metallica. Tull's infamous win was itself a likely attempt at this that backfired on the Recording Academy. | |

After not being nominated for a Tony for his role as Gabe in Next to Normal, Aaron Tveit finally got a shot at Tony glory ten years later for Best Leading Actor in a Musical for Moulin Rouge!... by default, as the awards' eligibility period was cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic and none of the other musicals up for Tonys that year (Tina: The Tina Turner Musical and Jagged Little Pill) had a leading actor, so Tveit was the only nominee. He needed 60% of Tony voters to cast an affirmative vote, which he duly received. | |

Hugh Morrus in WCW stands out as one - he was a classic "jobber" for years, making other people look good on the way up, and eventually got a "feel good" US title reign in 2000. | |

While she didn't win the award, Kate Bell was nominated for the Silver Logie for Best New Female Talent in 2010 for a guest role in Home and Away, seemingly because both TV Week and its readers (she had to be shortlisted by the magazine and then nominated by a reader poll) forgot about her regular role in Blue Water High in 2005 and 2008. Considering the name of the award, it overlaps with Award Category Fraud. | |

Steven Richards and Funaki were jobbers for years before they both got their own consolation gimmicks related to the shows they were on, Stevie Night Heat and Smackdown's Number 1 Ring Announcer. They were kept with the company for many years longer than most other jobbers as they were well liked and loyal to the company, but none of the writing team knew what to do with them. | |

Grant Denyer followed this pattern in 2018, winning the Gold Logie shortly after the announcement that his version of Family Feud was cancelled, with a lot of help from self-appointed campaign manager Tom Gleeson. The following year, Tom was nominated for his hosting of Hard Quiz, and he tried the same tactic of not having a show, by claiming that Hard Quiz wasn't coming back even though they were still holding auditions, as was pointed out more than once in his appearances on The Weekly with Charlie Pickering. His explanation was that he was intending to "bring it back" if he won, which he did. | |

Arguably The Godfather was this for Marlon Brando. Pacino was nominated for Best Supporting Actor. It could be argued the nominations should have been reversed as Michael is really the protagonist and has more screen time than Vito who spends a good portion of the movie recovering from multiple gunshots. | |

Rupauls Drag Race has often been accused of this regarding the Miss Congeniality award and the All-Stars seasons: On paper, Miss Congeniality is where the viewers are invited to vote online for the nicest contestant of the season, but some years the award goes to the fan-favorite who didn't make it to the finale, whether they were particularly congenial or not. Season 7 Miss Congeniality Katya even admitted that if the vote were up to the contestants themselves like in beauty contests, Jaidynn Dior Fierce would have won. This changed in Season 10 where a snag in the online voting system led to the results getting scrapped and having the queens vote instead. Monet X. Change won and this was largely accepted by fans, so the practice was kept for future seasons. As for All-Stars, the first All-Stars season was seen by many as an excuse to give Chad Michaels a crown, who was bitter about losing Season 4 to Sharon Needles. Later seasons have basically become "Second Chance for the Crown," as season winners are normally not brought back, hence the controversy over whether or not Season 1 winner Bebe Zahara Benet should have been eligible for All-Stars 3. Beside Chad there was also All Stars 2 winner Alaska and All Stars 5 winner Shea Coulee, who were both finalists in their respective original seasons |

An important trend to remember about Scorsese was that his more critically acclaimed movies that many feel he should have previously won for note Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, The Last Temptation of Christ, GoodFellas were all Vindicated by History. At the time of their releases controversy actually overshadowed the films themselves leading to their snubs year in and out. | |

Despite being one of the most beloved cartoon characters ever, no Bugs Bunny cartoon ever won the Oscar until 1958's "Knighty Knight Bugs". A fine cartoon, but hardly Bugs' finest moment, especially compared to the previous year's "What's Opera, Doc?", which was submitted for nomination but ultimately rejected. (In fact, Bugs wasn't even a nominee for the previous sixteen years.) What's Opera, Doc? would itself get consolation awards by being #1 the list of The 50 Greatest Cartoons, and the very first animated cartoon to be inducted into the National Film Registry. |

At the 2013 ceremony of both the Academy Awards and Golden Globes, Brave was the winner despite getting weaker critical responses than most of the other animated movies that year (namely fellow Best Animated Picture nominees Frankenweenie, ParaNorman, Wreck-It Ralph, and The Pirates! Band of Misfits). There was big controversy surrounding Brave and the fact that their first female director, Brenda Chapman, got fired from the project. The fact that she went on stage to accept the award with the crew made it too coincidental. Others saw the victory as the Academy was kissing Pixar's asses. The next year, Frozen came out and won both the Globe and the Oscar which some consider a consolation award for Wreck-It Ralph. | |

It didn't help matters when people looked at the two movies in question. When you look at The Iron Lady, the reviews frequently said that Meryl was the best part of an otherwise lukewarm film, whereas The Help was both a critical and commercial darling. | |

Its wins for Screenplay and Editing (which some thought might go to ACE award co-winner Babel) also suggest otherwise. Some even expected Babel to win Best Picture and Scorsese to win Best Director, which would have been more indicative of a Consolation Award. | |

It is quite common for the Gold Logie (an Australian television award) to be awarded to someone who is retiring or at least moving on from a long-term role. A good example is John Wood, who was nominated every year from 1997 until he finally won in 2006 (the year Blue Heelers was cancelled). Similarly, Kate Ritchie won the award shortly after leaving Home and Away. | |

Mick Foley stated in his second book that he felt that his title reign in 1999 were granted more as a lifetime achievement award rather than being the "top guy" although some of the fans might have disagreed since he was the top active face at the time (Stone Cold was briefly on the shelf). | |

The first two installments of The Lord of the Rings trilogy received nothing but technical awards. The final installment received just about every (non-acting) Oscar. The Academy was apparently reluctant to hand out big awards to the early installments for fear of clogging up the awards for the next three years, and decided to treat the last installment as a catch-all summation of the trilogy. | |

The Muppets' 2012 Oscar win for Best Song ("Man or Muppet") is seen by some as this for "The Rainbow Connection", which was nominated in the same category in 1979 but lost to the comparatively more obscure "It Goes Like It Goes" from Norma Rae. | |
