The Academy isn't going to outright admit they give Pity Nominations. I’m talking about Logan being the end of the franchise. It's set in the future and killed everyone for a reason. |

Wait, The Dark Knight wasn't nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay?  Unfortunately no. There was some extreme prejudice towards the film at the Oscars. It was denied Best Picture, Director and Adapted Screenplay nominations, which many critics even agreed it's bullshit. I guess they just didn't like the idea of a Comic Book Movie being Oscar worthy. And what took its place? A Holocaust movie produced by Harvey "God" Weinstein so blatantly made for Oscars that Ricky Gerveis parodied it before it even existed 3 years earlier on Extras. TDK had the last laugh because its snub is why there are up to 10 nominees now. |

Jackman and Stewarts' last time in the saddle. Same reason Unforgiven was treated like it was the first Deconstruction of the Western when truth be told it was first deconstructed with "The Wild Bunch". But since Unforgiven was Clint Eastwood's last Western it was treated like it was something more special. Clint Eastwood was a Hollywood icon and the Oscars always loved westerns. One had just won Best Picture 2 years before Unforgiven. Why, in comparison, would the Oscars give a damn about the end of the Xmen franchise? And why would they nominate its SCREENPLAY to reward Jackman and Stewart? |

Logan was submitted for more than one category. They figured since it was Jackman's last time in the role after 17 years he deserved a pity Nom (like how Kate Winslet got an Oscar for "The Reader" mainly just because she'd been nominated so many times, same with Leo in "Revenant") but as there were other films that really deserved Noms for the major categories and not many for Adapted Screenplay that was the one place they could squeeze it in. |

The Reader/The Revenant are prestige films/Oscar bait. And as you yourself said, Kate and Leo had racked up a bunch of nominations and no wins...as opposed to Patrick Stewart. Again, I'm not really seeing why AMPAS would give a s*** about the end of a franchise that has received exactly one other nomination from them (VFX for DoFP) in its entire 17 year history. |

Because CBMs have become more mainstream and respected thanks to the MCU, so Logan being the end of the first bunch of modern CBMs started back in 2000 was now more of a big deal. |
