I think prior to anyone seeing the movie yes, by sheer virtue of being Celine Song's second feature. But once the movie came out there was no awards conversation...

Eephus got a bit of buzz when the NBR and NYCC lists came out, but I think it was really underseen. The Mastermind I think just got really lost in the shuffle despite being top of so many critic lists. Kelly Reichardt doesn't play the game which I really appreciate.

I think the Adam Sandler snub for Jay Kelly was still quite surprising. There was a lot of good will for him to get a sort of lifetime achievement nod for that role but the movie really fully fizzled out upon release.
Also, I forgot to mention "IS THIS THING, ON?" but that movie feels like...meh?
