The REAL reason Bradley Cooper was snubbed at the Oscars: Maestro star's 'flip-flopping' faux pas caused him to miss out on ANOTHER Best Actor nod for his performance as Leonard Bernstein


Cooper's 'flip-flopping' over his support for Israel is believed to have played a part in his 12th Oscars snub, with some reportedly feeling like he should have stayed 'neutral' as opposed to wading in.

But Cooper, who is dating Palestinian-American supermodel Gigi Hadid, lost out on BAFTAs, Golden Globes and SAG Awards, before failing to pick up the coveted gongs for Best Actor, Best Original Screenplay or Best Picture at Sunday night's Oscars. Just days later, he also signed an open letter to Joe Biden asking the President to call for a ceasefire in Israel and Palestine, and put an end to the 'devastating loss of lives and unfolding horrors' in both countries. Awards season buzz was building amid the growing conflict in the Middle East, with Cooper's girlfriend Hadid, 28, sparking a backlash when she used her platform to speak out in defense of the Palestinian people.
