Best picture
1. Forrest Gump-good movie but Shawshank and Pulp Fiction are 2 of the highest rated movies of all time.
2. Chicago over The Two Towers and Gangs of New York?
Acting
Peter O'Toole not getting best actor for Lawrence of Arabia.

Shakespeare in Love over Saving Private Ryan in 99. "Well, it was easier to watch." Yeah, no shite.

Peter Sellers missed out twice for best actor.
Nominated in 1965 for Best Actor in Dr. Strangelove. Lost to Rex Harrison in My Fair Lady.
Nominated in 1980 for Best Actor in Being There. Lost to Dustin Hoffman in Kramer Vs. Kramer
I think he deserved to win both of these.

Give 1994 a break. It was a great year for film.

Do you know who won that year? This isn't generally considered a snub. Gregory Peck was just as good or better in To Kill a Mockingbird.

The biggest snub in Oscar history was without a doubt Brokeback Mountain losing to Crash.
Brokeback Mountain was the most awarded film in Oscar history going into the ceremony. It had won virtually all of the critic awards. It had also won the Golden Globe, the PGA, the DGA, the WGA, and many other guild awards.
It was the frontrunner of frontrunners. No one thought it could be beaten. Absolutely no one. The only reason why Crash was being given a prayer's chance was because it won the SAG for Best Ensemble. Even then it was considered a distant second to Brokeback Mountain.
While Shakespeare in Love beating Saving Private Ryan was considered a big upset, people still saw it as a threat to win. No one saw anything other than Brokeback Mountain winning that night.
Jack Nicholson's reaction says it all:
