An AwardSnub is when a work or person is denied the acclaim of a popular award that it seems to deserve, through action malicious, unintentional, [[NewMediaAreEvil overly reactionary, out-of-touch]], or [[ItsPopularNowItSucks anti-populist]] on the part of award voters. The reaction to the folks at home is the same: "''That'' didn't win? And '''that''' did?!" It's a real life case of DudeWheresMyReward.

Artists will occasionally snub their own awards as a protest against the politics of the awards ceremonies.
