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.

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).

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??

Keitel should've got an Oscar for Bad Lieutenant

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.
