Scarlett Johansson was this year's highest-paid nominee, earning $56 million last year. But only three of those nominated—Scarlett Johansson, Margot Robbie and Charlize Theron—made the Forbes’ list of highest-paid actors or actresses this year, and none of them made the cut for the films for which they’re nominated. The more high-brow, critically recognized films that make for Oscar nominations don’t. Scarlett Johansson is nominated for two Oscars and was also one of the world’s highest-paid actress with earnings of $56 million last year. Brie Larson, for example, scored the part of Captain Marvel—and its $5 million paycheck—after winning an Oscar in 2016 for starring in Room.
