The Witch (2015)
Heaps of critical acclaim, a huge box-office haul (especially considering its tiny budget), carefully calibrated performances, and a near-Satanic attention to period detail weren’t enough to turn Oscar’s head. However, the real prize seems to be that writer-director Robert Eggers and star Anya Taylor-Joy both announced their arrival with this movie, and it’d be no surprise to see either of them picking up a statuette eventually.
