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.

Haven't we done this already?

Goodfellas losing to Dances with Wolves.

I give 1994 a break. Pretty tough to choose between Shawshank, Pulp, and Forrest Gump.

These things aren't always unanimous. High Noon is one of my favorite films of all time.

"Do Not Forsake Me, Oh My Darlin"

Also, this:

I guess I'm still mad at Gary cooper for doing a bad job of portraying Howard Roark in the fountainhead.

King's Row > High Noon > The Greatest Show on Earth

Kings Row wasn't even nominated for Best Picture but in the Academy's defense, Kings Row was one of the most controversial films produced at that time, 1942...

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.
