"Oscar phobic" doesn't mean the movie is bad, more that it's the opposite of Oscar bait.

The kind of movies that the Academy will just never recognize for acting awards - often these can be in the action, comedy, horror and sci-fi genres with a few notable exceptions.

Divergent is a terrible series that Shailene Woodeley absolutely acts her socks off in

It's bittersweet she said no to returning for a 4th. She saw it was going to be a turd and knew her career was moving up, and would only be hurt by it. Kudos to her for seeing that. Shame on the studio for wanting it to be a turd
