Oscar Winners
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 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).

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??

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.
