Following the release of the Academy Award's Oscar nominations Wednesday night, several disappointed fans and media outlets have voice their discontent about some contenders being snubbed on Twitter. Ben Affleck's non-nomination for Argo's direction was at the top of the list.

The outrage on the snub has affected fans in different ways. While some are blatantly discontent with the Academy's decision,
