The Other Troper
It should be just an audience reaction trope, since that's essentially what snub accusations boil down to.
I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.

keep the current one as a subjective audience reaction, make a YKTTW for the actual non subjective trope, call it something like But I Deserved To Win or whatever. You don't want a soft split between something highly subjective, and a real trope.
Isn't Dark Horse Victory the in-universe version of the trope?

Not necessairly. Though there can no doubt overlap.

They kind of come at the same thing from different directions: a Dark Horse Victory is more or less something that wasn't expected to have a chance, won, and presumably it's presented as, or felt to be, a good thing; Award Snub is when something that is generally believed should have won didn't — it's only used to imply that it's a bad thing.

Id like to also point out that Award Snub has a different in potential execution. Something can be Award Snub by being excluded from the contest altogether - by not being nominated for example.
This thread expired after 60 days of inactivity.
In the subjectives/YMMV discussion
, it was brought up that Award Snub isn't really a trope, i.e., a feature of a work itself. But there is a feature that can be found in works that would qualify as an Award Snub, when it happens in-universe.
There is a large body of material currently on the page; I would suggest making that the bottom half, as it were, of a soft split, with in-universe examples as the top half.
Otherwise, if it's not a trope, it might be cuttable.
