Gobsmacked!

Irish rap trio Kneecap were surprisingly snubbed for the 2025 Oscars, despite being shortlisted in two categories.

The lads were shortlisted for 'Best International Film' & 'Best Original Song' but unfortunately didn't receive any nominations.

Shortly after the nominees were announced, the Belfast natives posted a brief statement on Instagram that read: “Fu*k the Oscars. Free Palestine”
