What do you think was the biggest snub of recent (or not-so-recent) memory? Do you think we missed anything? Do you agree or disagree with our picks? Let us know in the comments below!
THE LIST
Cool hand Luke (1967) Was admittedly up against a tough field, but it's a movie that's stood the test of time, and absolutely deserved a nomination.
The Dark Knight (2008) Didn't score a nomination in the very last year there were only 5 Best Picture nominations, and the Academy apparently wasn't risking giving a nod to a genre film.
Singin' in the Rain (1952) Hands down one of the greatest movie musicals ever, this absolute timeless classic didn't even get nominated, while the winner - "The Greatest Show on Earth" - is probably on no one's "Best movie ever" list.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) Maybe its art house indie vibe turned off Academy voters, but ten years later, audiences everywhere still appreciate "Eternal Sunshine"
King Kong (1933) It was the early days of the Academy, but King Kong's impact has endured to this day.
And then a trio of overlooked Hitchcock films:
North By Northwest (1956), Psycho (1957) Vertigo (1958) What have you got against Hitchcock, Academy?!
2001: A Space Odyssey (1968): One of the most groundbreaking works of direction, visual storytelling, and all-around spectacle wasn't even nominated in the Best Picture category. (Though Stanley Kubrick was nominated for Best Director and Screenplay, and won Visual Effects)
Do The Right Thing (1989) One of Spike Lee's first great films isn't even nominated in the year Driving Miss Daisy won.

It's funny The Good, the Bad and the Ugly got snubbed both by the oscars and by this list.
Overdramatized?! Are you sure you've seen the right movie?
For a few dollars more is better
@@darkone666 I dont think a few dollars more wouldve made a difference lol
@Clem Cornpone Are you saying that they're bad because the main characters are white or because there's gun violence in them?
Either way, you're likely to hate pretty much every action movie ever made in history.
These movies aren't supposed to have a deep story, they're not supposed to be realistic either.
They're supposed to be fun. (it's called "entertainment", you should try it)
And they are.
I'll tell you three reasons why:
1. The actors were great.
2. The directing was great.
3. The soundtrack is legendary.
Please, tell me I'm wrong. Just try.
@Clem Cornpone Weird shit I came up with? Let me quote your own comment.
"until the scene explodes in death for bad guys and vindication that the good guys are white men with big dicks and powerful firearms"
You specifically said "white men".
Later you said:
"About 30% of every movie ever made in Hollywood has been a white man has a big dick movie where some undog kills is way with a firearm to righteous ascendancy"
Again, a "white man" and you also criticized the 'hero kills his way to victory' thing, which to me seemed like criticizing gun violence, but maybe that was just an assumption on my part.
The music might be silly to you, but for me it's one of the best things about these movies.
Ennio Morricone is a great film composer. And if you disagree with that you probably don't know much about film music, or Ennio Morricone for that matter.
And the sheer popularity that these movies gave Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef and Sergio Leone speaks for itself that many people didn't think these movies were 'turds', and still don't.
Again, not every movie needs a deep plot, some movies can just be fun.
Also it's worth noting that Alfred Hitchcock remarkably also never won the Oscar for Best Director.
I thought he won something and his acceptance speech was two seconds long
@@Blip-qz9ch it's an honorary award which is sometimes it can be humiliating😅
Neither did Kubrick, Kurosawa, and countless other great directors.
BP David Fincher got robbed for Social Network.
It’s also worth noting that Alfred Hitchcock was a Harvey Weinstein character.
The film 'Vertigo' was not nominated for Best Picture. Neither was 'North by Northwest', 'Psycho', 'Rear Window' or 'The Birds'. They just didn't think Alfred Hitchcock films were noteworthy.
Because he wouldn't play the Hollywood game. I don't like who Hitchcock was a person, but if I'm to separate the person from the art, it was a smart move. And still kept on when he finally received his award with a simple "Thank you."
Rebecca won best picture in 1940 but Hitchcock did not win best director award, a very rare occurrence.
Hitchcock is one of Gods of directing, but his work was recognized later, in the mid of 1950s, by french critics and auteurs. Unfortunately! Rear Window is the the best example of a perfectly directed film.
Tara Carroll why don’t you like Hitchcock as a person?
@@jlrva3864 I wouldn't call the best picture/best director split a very rare occurrence at all. It happened 50% of the time in the 2010s, and 3 times in the 2000s. If I'm correct 27/92 best picture winners didn't match.
Even in 1940 when Hitchcock lost Best director that award split had already occurred 7 times from 1928/7-1939.
I would call a rare occurrence winning best picture with less than three Oscars. The only film to do that in the 21st century was Spotlight in 2015, which won Best Picture and only Best original screenplay (Aalejandro González Iñárritu won director that year for The Revenant).
Another rare occurrence is a Foreign-language film to win Best Picture. 12 have been nominated---6/half being in the 21st century---, and one has won (Parasite, 2019).
I heard that when Gene Kelley was dancing in the rain, he had a temperature of 104. Degrees! Now that's dedication!
GOD Bless You
Yes it is.
Saving private Ryan is often confused as a best picture winner. And when you tell people it didn't win they are in shock. Worse is when you tell them Shakespeare in love won it, and they ask " what the hell is that "
+Mousecop I think one of the most heinous snubs by the Academy ever committed was awarding Best Actress to Gwenyth Paltrow instead of Blanchett. In no way was that at all agreeable.
+Sub Roy Had you watched the brazillian movie "Central do Brasil" you would know who really deserved to win that year.
João Mariano I watched it. Montenegro was superb, but to me Blanchett did a slightly superior job.
Saving Private Ryan may have been Stevie's best pic but it was still meh. The Oscars should consider creating a new category for Spielberg... most cartoonish representation of human emotion, or sluttiest picture would do nicely.
Tom Hanks best performance was in Saving Private Ryan.
I don't know if I agree with Do the Right Thing at #1, but I can't argue with the rest of this list, particularly Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
Such a great movie!
Yeah, one of those that requires multiple viewings to really get it too. Like a lot of movies on the list actually. Maybe that's why they didn't get the nod, eh?
I agree, #1 lost out to a much larger classic. Cause who hasn't heard of Driving Miss Daisy?
+Kevin Wunn still pleased Spike Lee didn't win an Oscar!
+Kevin Wunn I liked Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Do the Right Thing was a great movie. Of Driving Miss Daisy and Do the Right Thing. Do the Right Thing is the one we watched in my film class in college. It was an important film and it was well made and well acted. It deserved a nomination.
1999: Saving Private Ryan lost to Shakespeare In Love... but Spielberg won Best Director... I am always surprised when these two awards are separated... “you are the best director this year, but your film was not the best.” 🤔
So true! It always seemed strange to me too
like Ang Lee and Brokeback
But I believe you don't think so of Roma
@@aqualcunopiaceclassico3201
ESPECIALLY ROMA. Winning Director but losing Picture is just ridiculous. I bet Netflix will win this year with The Irishman (which is in my top 5 )
@@kevlow9494 parasite is better.
Alfred Hitchcock didn't need Oscar nomination. Oscar needed him just the other way around. Love & Respect for this English Masterpiece who took crime/thriller/suspense to another level.
Academy mainly focuses on how brutal the acting is & storyline. They are good at it. Those people are not Robots. To err is human. Good video pal💯
Touhid while Hitchcock didn’t win for director, Rebecca won best picture in 1940. It’s a bit lesser known but one of my favorite Hitchcock films.
@@Littlebit31 Rebecca is an awesome film. It was also the only Hitchcock film we were allowed to watch in our film class at the Catholic high-school I attended
In any case, the Academy needs to give him a lifetime achievement award posthumously (unless they already did and I don't know about it). While I'm at it, same for John Williams (he got one from AFI, but a lifetime Oscar would be nice, too).
@Dave Dumpling - that's not a bar to being honoured in Hollywood or any other "arts" world unfortunately 🥺
Unfortunately if your movie isn't a historical melodrama where the main character must overcome a mental or physical disability, you're not winning the Best Picture
0-100 man. 0-100.
LALA LAND > Moonlight
The Color Purple, Oscar snubbed
@@aqualcunopiaceclassico3201 well said.
@@kshitijthapa2205 thank you
Dark knight not even being nominated is fucking bullshit
Jack Lame the academy and many prudes look down on comic book movies and comedies. I hate it. It's stupid
modern comedies, it's understandable.
with comedies there is usually a very weak and generic plot and substitute plot for boting jokes and tropes that fail to truly be funny after the first few times watching
Though I agree the film is more memorable than some of the other nominees that year, The Dark Knight is only considered incredible because of Ledger. Without him, it's pretty average.
agreed, every scene aside Ledger's scenes are highly mediocre
Academy Thinking:
Paddington 2 - “(nope!) too friendly”
Hereditary - “(nope!) too brutal”
Green Book - “(yes!) too plain, with racism theme”
Oskee Patiag Not only were those two snubbed, but also Suspiria, Buster Scruggs, SpiderVerse, Annihilation, Isle of Dogs, and Eighth Grade
I can't believe Green Book won over Roma. Plus, seeing Paddington 2 or Hereditary get the nom would've been amazing too.
Agreed
Why the fuck would you even think about Paddington 2?
Siema Wiesiu because it was one of the best films of that year
Crash won over Brokeback mountain.. ROBBED!
hehe... gotta love that hollywood mentality of "we all live in a yellow submarine" being king. insight into ourselves not as interesting as just saying 'be nice' over and over. lol.
Brokeback Mountain really deserved it.
Brokeback mountain is a classic while crash is forgotten, it won in the long run regardless
Was a shit year for all the movies. Altho I cant watch 10m of Crash w/out becoming bored, Brokeback was more interesting, altho I think the performances carried that movie more so than the actual movie. Visually, and entertainment wise I think Good Night/Good Luck was the best of them. Regardless none of these movies deserve a top10 snub. They're all movies I dont think I'd ever, ever need to watch again
How about that Sheakespeare movie
Cinefix: Give 2001 an award, Hal.
The Academy: I’m sorry, I can’t do that
"I'm sorry Cinefix, I'm afraid I can't do that"
I'm sorry Cinefix, I am afraid I can not do that
More like, I'm sorry, I won't do that....
The Dark Knight was so good I forgot it was a superhero movie
sooo bad man!!! Batman doesnt wanna be Batman! WTF major turn off
ikr... as though a Crime ThriLLer with a touch of Mystery eLements
@Hackingking4478 reviews 2 Wrong, fuckhead. Dark Knight is weak and its third act is a complete mess. It gives short shrift to Two Face and, aside from Ledger's Joker, the movie doesn't have a single interesting character. Black Panther tells the story of a nation wrestling with whether to engage with the outside world and turning against itself trying to decide. It's fantastic. Dark Knight is actually the weakest of Nolan's trilogy. Batman Begins is the masterpiece; it's practically flawless and has great characters. Even Dark Knight Returns has a better story and better characters than Dark Knight.
I wasnt feeling Dark Knight at all. Mainly because of its BS PG-13 rating was a scummy way to get kids money to see one of the most violent films in the last 20 years.
Heath Ledger was next level. That is obvious. Not even up for debate. But he was by no means the only good thing. Christopher Nolan is one of the best directors of all time.
In my opinion, Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now is never really talked about in oscar snubs, but it definitely should've won.
Absolutely
It was nominated though, so not technically snubbed.
It won best cinematography, and had several other technical nominations including best director.
Willard: Absolutely goddamn right
In my opinion, Glory was the best picture of 1989 and it wasn't nominated either.
I thought that of the five nominees, "Born On The Fourth of July" should've been Best Picture. Oliver Stone won Best Director. "Daisy" was a feel-good movie that captured the nation and that's why it won. But for "Glory" and "DTRT" not to be nominated was criminal.
Absolutely. Glory is one of my top five of all time.
@@mgeek1 I just re-watched Born on the Fourth of July minutes before reading your comment. I originally saw it in the theater. It has not aged well. Way over dramatic and campy.Good performance, but like most Stone movies, it has not aged well.
The Shining? Fight Club? The Empire Strikes Back? Alien?
+UnkeptMoss328 None of those movie deserved to win as much as Do the Right Thing... because it is way better than any of those.
Arian hmn Really, better than Empire?
UnkeptMoss328 Of course it is, I can't believe you even asked that question- Have you even seen Do the Right Thing?
Arian hmn No, as it happens, I haven't.
UnkeptMoss328 Well you really should
And what about Paul Thoman Anderson's work? He's being snubbing for YEARS. Boogie nights, Magnolia, The Master...and also David Fincher, with The girl with the dragoon tattoo, Seven and Fight Club, snubbed.
PalmurcioWorld Also Zodiac. That movie is considered by a lot of critics the best of his movies.
RDPublicfeatures I do not consider Zodiac as the best of his movies, but I agree, it was snubbed as well.
PalmurcioWorld Also Into The Wild.
RDPublicfeatures So true, should had been nominated in Best Movie, Director and Best Actor.
+PalmurcioWorld Gone Girl :DD
This list is missing “Heat”, “Interstellar”, The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly”, “Once Upon a Time in the West”, and “The Usual Suspects”.
I have no qualms with this list except for Interstellar. That movie doesn't deserve an Oscar nom.
The Usual Suspects!
Interstellar? For best picture? No way. 2014 had many amazing films and Interstellar was good, but not good enough for a best picture nomination.
I think Interstellar is the weakest from Nolan
I'm sorry, but Interstellar is nothing compared with Whiplash, Birdman, or Grand Budapest
I think the snubbing of The Color Purple was when the academy lost all credibility. That was just unbelievable.
I've always believed the Academy didn't want to acknowledge Steven Spielberg. They saw him as a young 'upstart' - despite the fact that he was a brilliant producer. Jealousy. I've always hated the film that won that year. It's a non-entity in comparison to 'The Colour Purple'.
It wasn't until 'Schindler's List' that they finally gave in. And because of the nature of the film and other factors, they had to. Plus it was an incredible movie.
My dad is from the little town of Marshville, NC where The Color Purple was filmed. I happened to be there the summer they filmed it, as I was doing my summer internship at a poultry company there. We went down to the set one day when they had been filming the scene where they're downtown and it's snowy. I felt sorry for the actors wearing the heavy winter coats. It was hot as the fifth circle of hell that day. I was about to keel over in shorts and a tank top, lol. But anyway, I agree it was totally snubbed and was a great flick.
I hated The Color Purple and I suspect others did too.
Black film
When "The Room" wasn't even nominated I was beyond furious
And Tommy Wiseau for best actor
Which is that?
Number 1 proved its point by not getting nominated
Yes, we've all heard "Singing in the Rain". Just from a different movie. A "very" different movie!
underrated comment.
what movie?
@@user-ho7mt9cu6p A Clockwork Orange.
@@akshatmishra311 Ahh OK I haven't seen it. Thank you.
Be grateful. "A Clockwork Orange" is a greatly disturbing film...
I’m not alone in saying that I could care less what the academy thinks, their opinion is no longer relevant. If a movie is a masterpiece it will stand the test of time and outlive the Hollywood narrative for that particular time.
Especially with the internet as pervasive as it is. Funny enough, it's also the internet, cough cough Twitter cough cough, that insists on the Academy doing things that only speed up its irrelevance.
How Apocalypse Now lost to Kramer vs Kramer I'll never know.
Probably because members of the Academy can relate to divorce. Dumb, supposedly it's why it won.
But won the Palme D'Or, much more meritory than an Academy Award
Damn tough choice my friend.......50/50 Lol
Politics... Copolla wasn't Hollywood.
It's ending.
A few films from the last few years I think were deserving of a nomination...
2015: Creed, Inside Out
2014: Gone Girl, Nightcrawler
2013: Fruitvale Station, Short Term 12
2012: The Master, Holy Motors
2011: Drive, Melancholia
Overrated. Just because it called the feelings by their names doesn't make it groundbreaking or whatever.
Melancholia !!!
Yes to to Inside/Out and Creed and Fruitvale Station and pretty much all of them.
I thought Inside Out Was one of the best films I saw that year so I say yes plz (whatever that means). I know what it means.
?Wha?
Full-Metal Jacket gets snubbed a year after Platoon wins everything, when clearly FMJ is the better of the two Vietnam movies, and brilliant on it's own.
No war movie is better than platoon.
Timing is everything. Had FMJ come out before Platoon, then yes.
@Ern Alejandro why does accuracy has to be a factor here? Just look at the movie. Full Metal Jacket is masterful work of art.
@Ern Alejandro Lmao why so emotional?
Thats not how you judge art, its a film and watch it from a filmmaking perspective.
Moreover, after killing around 2 million innocent civillians in a country over 2 decades. What kind of a treatment do you expect they get from the citizens?
@Ern Alejandro well, the point here is US has a terrible habit of getting into others internal matters and when shit happens, criticizing it makes one being labeled as anti national.
However, this is a movie watch it as one. If you kill more than 2 million innocent people at a place where you don't need to be, you cannot really expect people to treat you nicely.
Others I can think of are:
-Worlds Fastest Indian(2005)
-Catch Me If You Can(2002)
-Fight Club(1999)
-Legends Of The Fall(1994)
-Glory(1989)
-Empire Of The Sun(1987)
-The Name Of The Rose(1986)
-Paper Moon(1973)
-They Shoot Horses Don’t They?(1969)
-In Cold Blood(1967)
-Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?(1962)
-Something Wild(1961)
-The King and I(1956)
-Anastasia(1956)
-Moby Dick(1956)
-Singin’ In The Rain(1952)
-To Each His Own(1946)
-The Hunchback Of Norte Dame(1939)
Children of Men. A big snub.
Same problem as 2001... The Academy has some kind of bizarre stigma against Sci/Fi!?!
lau Fuentes - agreed!
Fantastic movie
Derek McCumber you mean certainly the wrong year
Agreed. Children of Men is a masterpiece and deserved at least a Best Director win
The LEGO Movie was surprisingly (to me at least) not nominated for best animated film
Katsuhono I totally agree. The Lego Movie is actually a work of artistic genius if you think about it, it's essentially a 1 hour and 41 minute ad that comments on consumerism in America. Whether it was intended or not, The Lego Movie proves its own message on consumerism by doing well enough to spawn a thriving franchise of Lego ads that people pay to see. If that all makes sense and I'm not crazy, I'd go as far as to say it's the greatest use of product placement of all time.
I am pretty sure because the movie has live action in it as well, it became ineligible for best animated film.
Jacob Tberry Although it has some live action in it, it's predominantly animated, so it would be classified as an animated movie I think.
I think it should've not only got the nom, but won, but I think the switch to Live Action is what cost them.
Not surprised..
So Alfred Hitchcock had a 'dodgy' reputation, did he? Obviously, no one else of the 'Hollywood' hierarchy fits into that category!
Hitchcock is somebody I wouldn't call innocent, but he refused to stoop to Hollywood standards in order to be "liked".
Mike Davies GOD Bless You
Can somebody explain what dodgy reputation did he had?
Arman Akhtar while hw wasn't Weinstein, Hitchcock did have a questionable relationship with women, and apparently he was just not a nice man. He lied to the leading actress of his film The Birds saying he wasn't using real birds and then he did , scarring the aactress physically and emotionally.
@@leeshdee9269 Well I knew about that. But that kind of behaviour seem pretty common in Hollywood then as well as now. But i don't think how that could have been a problem in him winning an oscar. After all Polanski won an oscar.

I think the performances and direction were more worthy if anything but there has certainly been greater BP snubs than those, like wtf wasn't Interstellar npminated for best picture from Christopher Nolan?? Also Edward Norton should have won for American History X tbh and The Prestige should have won Cinematography and been nominated for Original Screenplay, Best Actor for Christian Bale, Visual Effects, Costume Design maybe idk and Best Director for Nolan.
One of the biggest robs (but not for best picture): The Lego Movie
Should at least have been nominated and won best animation...
I agree with The Tale of Princess Kaguya too:)
Star Wars
Mega Andy wait what
+Mega Andy star wars was nominated.
Nightcrawler and Jake Gyllenhaal should've been nominated.
So true
“Dances with Wolves”;over “Goodfellas” was a crime!
No it wasn't. they're both great movies that are very different. apples and oranges. can't really compare a great heroes journey to a great non-hero commentrary.
In hindsight Goodfellas has aged much better than Dances with wolves.
Na. They got it right this time. Im biased though my wife i a native Cree from northern Manitoba.
I would agree. I have tried numerous times but have never been able to sit through the entire Dances with Wolves.
Both are great films. I'd give Dancing with Wolves 9/10, and Goodfellas 9.5/10.
Do the Right Thing is one of my favorite films. I remember thinking this was a sure thing while sitting in the theater in '89 and was shocked when the noms where announced. I think this was the point where I started to distrust the Academy Awards. It all went downhill from there! Don't get me started on The Dark Knight!
Val Kilmer's potrayal of Doc Holliday in Tombstone was epic. No one will beat that.
He definitely deserved at least a nomination. His performance was brilliant and, considering the character he played, understated.
@@HeronCoyote1234 Supporting actor/actress categories are usually stacked. Yes, Kilmer deserved a nom but even if given one he probably would have lost to eventual winner Tommy Lee Jones for The Fugitive.
Saving private Ryan was better than Shakespeare in Love
Goodfellas was better than Dances with Wolves
Fargo was better than The English Patient
Raging Bull was better than Ordinary People
I don't think the oscars like very strong violence or the f word well at least The Departed won best picture that had nearly as much f words as Pulp Fiction and it was quite violent.
Apocalypse Now was better than Kramer vs. Kramer
American Graffiti was better than The Sting
Every film you just mentioned WASNT snubbed. This video is about movies that WEREN'T nominated
richfictionfighter Tell that to every comment that says Pulp Fiction or Shawshank Redemption and the comment I replied to
***** Apparently you don't know the meaning of the terms "pretentious" and "Oscar-bait."
***** You don't get it, do you?
The Dark Knight rightly deserved Best Picture.
it absolutely did not. it deserves to eat shit from a BUTT.
It was great...only thing Oscar worthy about it though would be Heath ledger.
@@ajwithnoname5527 it was great at eating SHIT from a BUTT but that's about it
Best Picture NOMINATION but a win won't do
Lizard Man
Like all other superhero movies right
How Anthony Perkins wasn't even nominated for his performance in Psycho just beats me?
And Perkins in Fear Strikes Out
Nightcrawler.
I was more mad that Jake Gyllenhaal wasn’t even nominated for best actor
@@SidV101 agree, Oscars are a sham
Inception is the only Nolan movie to be nominated for best picture, thats a crime
Zer0dog i also came from the future!
It lost to shape of water.
Dunkirk was nominated
TheOFamily5 and now Dunkirk, which is an even bigger crime.
It's also racist.
@@tastidmuntasir1316 inception is racist? Dafuq
Despite it getting technically nominated, HELL OR HIGH WATER is one of the best snubs in recent years. The 2016 tale of family and crime stood apart from the harsh dramas like MOONLIGHT and ARRIVAL, but gets in good dramatic scenes on its own and is so straightforward and well-paced that it is still my favorite nominee of that year.
Incredible film; Pine was fantastic but Ben Foster was superb!
I still cannot understand, how The Dark Knight, that masterpiece of a movie, didn’t win it...
I was a fan of Nightcrawler and shocked when I saw American Sniper nominated instead
Well American sniper is based on a true story the academy loves those and it's about a solider
Wow. Citizen Kane is regarded by many as the greatest film ever made. Even today. No Oscar.
Shut up.
It was nominated.
rocktown612011 it won best original screenplay
Thanks captain obvious
rocktown612011 it's not the best film ever one of the best but not the best
This is a great list.
Singing in the rain is definitely in my all-time top 10. But there’s a reason it didn’t get the nomination in 1952. Gene Kelly swept the Oscars in 1951 with American in Paris. The redundancy would’ve been glaring.
Alan Young it wasn’t his fault, he was great and made amazing and memorable performances. Lol
The pity is that Singin' in the Rain is a better film. An American in Paris is delightful in its way, but it suffers from a fairly thin plot and an underwritten love interest. Singin' in the Rain has a sharper script and better performances all around; plus, it's surprisingly progressive for a 1952 film, in that Debbie Reynolds doesn't give up her career ambitions when she gets the guy, but instead sees those ambitions fulfilled. Best movie musical ever.
@@kelleyceccato7025 Gotta disagree. The plot for American in Paris NEEDS to be so thin, otherwise ending the film with a brilliant 20 minute dance sequence without any dialogue, one of the best scenes in all cinema, simply wouldn't work. Plus, what's one of the main reasons to watch a musical? The MUSIC, and you can't do much better than the Gershwins. One more thing, I do like Singin' in the Rain, but there's this element of self-conscious cleverness about the script that has always really bothered me. Great comment though.
I gave up on the Oscars back when they snubbed The Color Purple.
The Color Purple? You mean the movie where Whoopie Goldberg has a make out session with that puttana schifosa lesbian who said to her "You sho' is ugly!!" And it ends with Celie pulling a knife on Danny Glover? She never says a word, just shoves the knife in his face and scares the hell out of him and then just walks away from his vile subhuman repugnant wife beating ass and that's all she wrote? I think I saw some of that.
It lost to the superior Out of Africa.
I agree with Mike 7 on this one. The Color Purple did receive 11 nominations but was not for best director. It didn't win any Oscars mainly because Out of Africa was a better film. in 1956 - Giant received 11 nominations and won 1 for directing and was clearly better than "Around the World in 80 days".
The Color Purple and Out of Africa are two of my favorite movies ever. But the Color Purple was the better film and should have won. And don't even get me started on Whoopie losing!!!
You're right. Ran should have gotten it's nomination
Great Films that came out in certain years without even a nomination:
2000: Requiem For a Dream
1994: The Lion King
1998: The Big Lebowski
2014: Gone Girl
1999: Three Kings, Fight Club
2001: Memento
Memento? Do your research. Also Big Lebowski = Overrated.
nicknufsik The Lion King got Oscar for best original sound track by Hans Zimmer (which is ...like woahh.. Hans Zimmer...but true)
TehObLiVioUs Bitch pls - DRIVE
nicknufsik 2011: Drive1995: Before Sunrise
2001: The Royal Tenenbaums
nicknufsik "Gran Torino"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This year snub movie is Lego movie.
Don't forget Fury. Only reason that isn't getting an Oscar is because it's 'icky'. Or people have no taste.
cortster12 Or because it had an incredibly inconsistent plot
Daniel Paquin What part of the plot was inconsistent? I know nothing about military, so if it is something about that I don't care.
The film had too many cheap shocks in the plot where it devalued the story. These shocks came up so often that I was able to predict what was going happen, which completely defeats their purpose. I felt no sense of sadness when people died, and for that reason I felt cheated.
shellysunfish Be quiet. The adults are talking.
"The Talented Mr. Ripley" was snubbed for a Best Picture nomination in 1999, and Matt Damon was snubbed the Best Actor nomination as well. Amazing film and brilliant performance by Damon, who I personally can't stand in many films.
Every shot of 2001 could be a desktop wallpaper
And you can’t even say I’m wrong
The Human Centipede losing to The Hurt Locker
Tony Montana hahahah
Tony Montana lol wtf
There are two things I break for no one: my balls and my word
Tony Montana i will never ever gonna watch that movie ever again.
Lolllllllllllllllll
1995's Heat. Pacino. De Niro. Such a great movie and my all time favorite so I may be a bit biased.
Zero mention of this but TDK gets #9. This list is insane.
Biggest snub of all time which makes me like it that much more
Michael Mann as a whole deserves more credit from the Oscars.
Watching this in 2020, the legacy of this amazing channel lives on, and I hope they know that :)
5 and a half years. 5 and a half years took me to see this video and god the shock when I've seen your number 1 pick. Since I first saw Do The Right Thing it's been one of my all time fav movies and, to make things worst as you say, it wasn't even nominated and that year the Oscar went to Driving Miss Daisy. No wonder why Public Enemy released shortly after their hit Burn Hollywood Burn
Dark Knight not only should have be nominated (over The Reader)...but should have won.
The Reader isn't even a good book, let alone film
My biggest WTF snubs are:
The fact that American History X was completely snubbed in 1999
(the year Shakespeare In Love won) the only award it was nominated for was
- Edward Norton for Best Actor which he lost to Robert Benigni for Life Is Beatiful
- Memento (2000) being completely snubbed except for screenplay (lost to Julian Fellowes for Gosford Park) and editing lost to Black Hawk Down
- Requiem For A Dream should have gotten more attention other then JUST Ellen's best actress nomination and she lost to Julia Roberts for Erin Brockovich ::sideeye::
+ScienceAndCricket Only because of that one movie? Isn't that overreacting a little bit?
+Rand Miller Gosford Park was a brilliant film. But Julia Roberts winning for being Julia Roberts (again) over Ellen's Burstyn's INTENSE, vanity-free performance in Requiem For a Dream is just plain ridiculous. It was a hard movie to watch, but brilliantly put together.
+Rand Miller Well but Benigni deserved it.
+Rand Miller Norton was amazing, but I'll always defend Benigni on that one - he was simply incredible. Both could have easily won the oscar. If you (or anyone) hasn't seen Life is Beautiful, I highly suggest you check it oout (in its original Italian dub). It's one of the most beautiful movies I've ever seen.
weston407 I totally agree. I just thought that in *acting* that a man who had been in so few films, primal fear being his first and showing so much strength in acting that he was seriously heartbreaking in that film. I have seen Life Is Beautiful and that movie was also beautiful and epic. It's not always easy but it's just my opinion ;)
Eternal sunshine not winning or even being nominated is criminal. That’s one of the most important and best films ever. Such an agonizingly beautiful piece of cinema masterpiece
Shakespear in Love beat Saving Private Ryan. How?
All is fair in love and war.
It has a smart, clever, entertaining script, excellent casting, great score and cinematography, entertaining - as opposed to a technically proficient war film that no one watched again.
It’s Harvey Weinstein what do you think?
Becaude it's the best film ever made of course!!😂😂😂 ijk ofc
@@chillaxe3370 true lmao but he won't be doing that anymore will he...
The Wrestler and Shame (2011) should have been nominated for best picture
Brett Wilson Might as well include Hunger
+Brett Wilson I think SHAME was overrated, but THE WRESTLER is fucking *subliiiiiiiiiiime.*
What about Requiem for a Dream?
Brett Wilson The wrestler was an amazing movie. Fortunately micky roak was playing himself. But it was a very good movie
2001 was the biggest snub of all time
Read the book. It actually makes sense and is amazing.
ThisisFizban I know right, someday I'll remake it and it will win what is deserves
+Charisma Bros Why remake 2001?
Stanley Kubrick decided to tell the story visually but he left out some of the most important plot elements from the book. I think a remake would be great.
+ThisisFizban 2010:Another Odissey or smth like that was made in the 80's.Didn't that explain everything?
How Saving Private Ryan lost to Shakespeare in Love remain a mystery to me.
Saving Private Ryan and The Thin Red Line split votes for their target audience
Roland Joffe's The Mission. Jeremy Irons and Robert Deniro in the roles of a lifetime. It won the Palm D'or at Cannes in 1986, and had also what is arguably the best score ever composed for a film
Ironically, this video started out with an ad for Nightcrawler on DVD/Blueray.
Great list but definitely should have had Goodfellas in it. Scorsese's greatest film of all time and he finally wins for Departed, a poor remake of a cult Chinese film Infernal Affairs, almost 20 years later. I always felt that was a, "We're sorry about Goodfellas" win.
"...and Taxi Driver and Raging Bull."
Definitely agree, Goodfellas was the best gangster mob film of all time
But Dances With Wolves is much too great a film for an all-time snub.
I agree Goodfellas should have won, and while I haven't seen the Chinese original, The Departed is amazing.
Korean remake. Not Chinese.
Slingblade deserved a best picture nomination and won in 1996 and although nominated, Billy Bob Thornton should have taken home Best Actor .
I agree with the list, but million dollar baby is anything but forgettable, but sure eternal sunshine of a spotless mind deserved a nomination.
Agreed
What's eating gilbert grape i also think was a pretty big snub. Should've at least got nominated, as it's in my opinion one of the greatest films of all time.
Samuel Black These days, people only really remember the movie for Leonardo DiCaprio’s performance. Not to mention that the films nominated that year - including what is personally the greatest movie I have ever seen, Schindler’s List - were all instant classics in their own right.
I agree.the town taking pictures of fat mama when she emerged into town is unforgettable
Black Panther - Got nominated for Best Picture
The Dark Knight - Didnt get nominated for Best Picture
The Oscars are high
We truly live in a Society
Although they came out several years a part
Listen...I'm still dealing with the fact that Die Hard wasn't nominated, not to mention people still saying it's not a Christmas movie, so who cares about other snubs.
It's not a xmas movie, idk why this is hard to understand
What about Pulp Fiction?
Nominated, lost to Forrest Gump, and was competing against The Shawshank Redemption and Quiz Show I believe.
Nick Colucci
Truth! Yeah we talked about movies that didn't win, but decided being nominated is an honor in and of itself.
I'm baffled by how you would know about the Oscars if you thought Pulp Fiction wasnt nominated for Best Picture
+richfictionfighter Plus Quentin got the Palme d'Or for Pulp Fiction, which is just as prestigious as an Oscar.
+Evil Antonio its not as prestigious
What about "The Room"? Cinematic masterpiece. Snubbed.
Mr. Womb: Lord of Unmerciful Torment and Birdemic and Howard the Duck...
There is a limit to nominations, so there was no room
Srilankan Tourist - ouch, someone took that a little personally didn't they, sounds like someone needs to get outside a little more
Mr. Womb: Lord of Unmerciful Torment Read the book. It is so much better than that movie. You’ll have a real application then
@@NotQuiteFirst rimshot.
In recent years there's been a BIG backlash to 2001: A Space Odyssey in recent years. It's considered an expensive boring experimental film. OLIVER! is a masterpiece.
I KNEW Eternal Sunshine was gonna be here! I felt it LOL.
That movie would have been a delight in these times
How the Dark Knight got snubbed and Slumdog won the Oscar is beyond me, at least its good to know that Oscars is a joke now-a-days.
I'm guessing a lot of things are beyond you then.
It's because The Dark Knight was a basic superhero comic book movie of little merit.
Dark knight is shit. Slumdog is fabulous. You are a millenial, hence your opinion is invalid.
@@keithmoon8838 , I'm not sure what you are talking about to call a masterpiece *"basic."* To find a movie similar to The Dark Knight is difficult. Now I'm not one to say that Slumdog is bad but for you to say Dark Knight is bad is just a sin to any cinema goer.
@@neilbean488 How 'bout you point out where I said it was "bad"? I said it was a basic superhero movie. Both Nolan and Ledger were obviously heavily influenced by Burton and Nicholson. Nothing too original about it, which is why it wasn't Best Picture material. I'm not a Slumdog fan either, but it is superior to TDK. Best picture that year was The Reader.
@@keithmoon8838 , my apologises for twisting your words then. But I feel as if saying it's a basic movie is almost as bad. The movie is probably one of the most mature superhero movies out there. And the amount of realism it has. I have never seen a Superhero film better and I most definitely feel as if it is superior to Slumdog. And for the time of it's release it was probably hard to find a movie similar to The Dark Knight. Sure there are other Batman crime movies but none were as good as this one.
How Shakespeare in Love beat out Saving Private Ryan has always left me speechless. In 50 years, viewers, professors, students,
One answer: Harvey Weinstein.
@@nene1082 Freakin Harvey .
Good video, good writing, good job
Great list guys
Blade Runner
bread_n_butter And Blade Runner 2049 will follow it unfortunately :(
If 2049 don't atleast win 1 oscar i'll cut my left ass cheek off
Well I can half forgive the academy since they were given the inferior theatrical release over the Final Cut
I generally agree about The Dark Knight, I already forgot about Slumdog Millionaire but I still remember The Dark Knight
We all remember The Dark Knight and has quickly forgotten The Dark Knight Rises
Dave Teves i don't think the DKR is as forgettable as everyone says it. Yes it's a bit deceiving considering the boldness and awesomness of the previous two films in the trilogy but it's still a good movie IMO.
Slumdog Millionaire is still a great film
@@richfictionfighter The one he did a few years later Lion, was a great movie too. Danny Boyle....a great filmmaker.
@@daveteves I guess I’m the exception then lol - I didn’t care for it at all. But hey, others love it so I won’t rain on their parade.
Children. Of. Men. Not only was it brilliantly made and emotionally affecting, it presaged hugely important social issues. Though perhaps the Academy didn't see those coming.
Science fiction and horror rarely get recognized. Take Hereditary or Alien, or Blade Runner 2049. They often win on other categories but rarely Best Picture.
@@4Distractiononly Shape of water (lol) would like a word with you.
Yes, yes and yes! It's been gaining recognition over the years but still woefully underrated.
@@mortalia exception
I absolutely ADORE Children of Men. Great movie!
This is the only one of your listings I could sit through
1994 was one of the most revolutionary years in Film making. The Shawshank redemption, The Lion King and Pulp Fiction were all snubbed at the 1995 Academy Awards.
I can't understand why The shawshank redemption did not win Oscar that year.
Lion King is one of the greatest animated movies of all time and (in my opinion) the second-best movie of the entire year. The fact that it didn't get nominated when Up and Toy Story 3 did (even after Best Animated Feature became a thing) is so fucking infuriating that it hurts
This might be considered heresy, but I think The Shawshank Reception is overrated. I think that it's a very good movie but not one of the best of all time or even for the year it was released. Pulp Fiction was much better and could easily have won for Best Picture.
I say this to people all the time. INCREDIBLE year for films.
It's hard for me to think of a better movie regarding character development than SR.
This is proof the Academy doesn't know shit.
That is your opinion.
And a good one...
The Academy don't honor great films, they invest in economic opportunities that can make big bucks at the box office and fit the conservative views they favor. That's why great films often lose to films like Shakespeare in Love
Probably not too many people have seen any of these movies, but „The lives of others“ (2006), „Synecdoche, New York” (2008) and “The Hunt” (2012) are about the greatest movies I have ever seen. All of these were massive snubs imho.
the Hunt was nominated for international feature film, but didn't win.
I enjoy this channel and come back frequently, but I'd like to say this particular video works very well because you simply say a number and then a film. The other videos tend to lose me because you go off on these esoteric qualifications for different "types" of whatever the subject is. I wish all of your videos should be as cut-and-dried as this one.
I stopped taking the Academy serious in 2002-the year of pandering. I started thinking they were a joke when Crash won best picture. I stopped watching when Seth McFarlane began hosting.
In all fairness even the academy regrets Seth...
