Rajkummar Rao's Newton was missing from the list even though the film was picked as India's entry for the Oscars. However, according to NDTV, he is nomination for the Best Supporting Actor for Bareilly ki Barfi is seen as a consolation prize. Konkona Sen Sharma's Death in the Gunj wasn't featured in the Best Director nominations either, along with Vikrant Massey who didn't get nominated despite having a very good 2017.
