• Biggest Oscar Robberies?
    26 replies, posted
I finally just saw the Shawshank Redemption and was surprised that it basically won no Oscars. It was actually released same year as Forrest Gump which means it was pretty much heavily overshadowed. I noticed this and I'm sort of torn between the two as they're both really great movies, but I think Shawshank should have won something.. Any other incidents like this?

Gran Torino, and countless other movies. The term is actually snubbing a film.
Ah okay, well I saw Gran Torino too and really thought that should have won something. Was Clint Eastwoods last film, pretty cool and funny at some parts.
Yeah, definitely Gran Torino. I couldn't believe it didn't get an Oscar. People need to get slapped.
Memento. Nominated, no wins.
Never saw Memento but pretty much any Christopher Nolan film kicks ass.

THE DARK KNGHT SHOULD HAVE Won every single category including best comedy or musical *is a scrub* aww screw it my heart just isn't in it today

Yeah Gran Torino was great. Clint Eastwood put on a phenomenal performance, he went out with a bang on that movie.

At least one Guy Ritchie movie should have won something
Twilight
requiem for a dream and a clockwork orange
Hmm, wasn't The Wizard of Oz released in the same year as Gone With the Wind, and so lost Best Picture?

Wtf... Gran Torino was absolutely horrible. it was incredibly boring.. the only people who liked it were Clint Eastwood fans, but that doesn't make it a good movie..
