Oscar Winners

[Posher778]

Edit* Scratch that.


What films do you think should have gotten best picture that didn't? I know there was some controversy before over the French Connection and Clockwork Orange.

[The STE]

Taxi Driver and 12 Angry Men

Forrest Gump over both Pulp Fiction and The Shawshank Redemption...damn shame

The French Connection deserved its Award.

Scorsese's been jipped plenty of times.
Goodfellas was a much better picture than Dances With Wolves.
Ordinary People won the '81 Oscar. Raging Bull shoulda'.

Personally, I think Pulp Fiction was more deserved of the '94 statuette than Forrest Gump (a film I find wildly overrated).

[neverending]

Citizen Kane
Psycho
Apocalypse Now
Vertigo (it lost to Gigi)

As every film fan knows, Hitchcock never won an Oscar for Best Director. How's that??

[Elvis_Christ]

Keitel should've got an Oscar for Bad Lieutenant

[The_Return]

There Will Be Blood

[Despare]

Forrest Gump (a film I find wildly overrated).

I agree with that 100%.


I think the biggest one is Taxi Driver, I liked Rocky as well but c'mon...


The Maltese Falcon and Citizen Kane deserved wins too IMO.
