Bradley Cooper steps out after receiving another Oscar snub for Best Director – as Maestro picks up seven other Academy Award nods

Bradley Cooper has been pictured after he was snubbed yet again for the Oscar nomination for Best Director. 

The actor, 49, helmed the critically-acclaimed Maestro, the biopic about the composer Leonard Bernstein. While the flick received multiple Oscar nominations, Cooper was notably passed over for a nomination for Best Director. 

Bradley was spotted stepping out in New York after the nominations were announced on Tuesday morning.  

He donned a snazzy all-blue look, layering up in a checkered Louis Vuitton beanie, navy Moncler jacket, and smart slacks.

The star had a pair of headphones slung around his neck as he strode down the sidewalk, his hands plunged into his pockets and his feet slipped into Nike trainers.

The star also sported a budding five o’clock shadow and sunglasses.

He appeared to be in a contemplative mood as he enjoyed some alone time in the Big Apple.

Bradley’s critically acclaimed film Maestro received seven Academy Awards nominations – Best Picture, Best Actor for Cooper, Best Actress for Carey Mulligan, Achievement In Sound, Cinematography, Makeup and Hairstyling, and Original Screenplay.

Cooper directed and starred in Maestro, the critically-acclaimed biopic about composer Leonard Bernstein.

The latest snub comes six years after he was similarly passed over for a directing nod for 2018’s A Star Is Born.

‘Barbenheimer’ and Killers of the Flower Moon dominated the 96th Academy Awards nominations, which were announced from the academy’s Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills, California on Tuesday morning.

Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer came away with a leading 13 Oscar nominations receiving nods for best picture; Nolan’s direction; acting nominations for Cillian Murphy, Robert Downey Jr. and Emily Blunt; and multiple honors for the craft of the drama.

Barbie received eight nominations including nods for best picture; Ryan Gosling for best supporting actor; and two best-song candidates. However, Greta Gerwig was left out of the best director category.
