Many critics expected Viola Davis to secure a nomination for best actress for her performance in "The Woman King."
  • "The Woman King" and "Till" got zero nominations for this year's Academy Awards.
  • The snubs show Hollywood still undervalues Black creatives, especially Black women.
  • That's according to media researchers and professors, who added that America needs a culture shift.

The nominations for the 95th Academy Awards were announced Tuesday, and critics quickly pointed out one of the biggest snubs: "The Woman King," starring Viola Davis and directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood, both Black women, received no nominations.
