10 Angry Cats React to Carol Oscar Snubs

Today, the Oscar nominations came out and our hearts sank when we realized Carol had been snubbed for Best Picture and Best Director. This, of course, makes no sense, since Carol has widely been regarded as easily one of the best films of 2015 and Todd Haynes is a movie-making genius who brought the 1950s and the fragile, blossoming love of Carol Aird and Therese Belivet to life. And while we were definitely devastated, we're pretty sure our cats didn't handle the information well either. Here's how we imagine felines all over the nation reacted to the news.

4. When the rage overcame them and a destructive disdain for the political machine that is Hollywood took hold:

2. When their friends were getting so excited about the nominations and the joy of cinema and then they were forced to step in and ruin that misplaced fun:

1. When they tried to demonstrate that they too could fight Leonardo DiCaprio, but didn't necessarily deserve an Oscar for it:

May 2017 be kinder to us all. Meow.
