The biggest theft in Oscar history was Tommy Lee Jones over Ralph Fiennes in 1994...

I'm sorry...but WTF? Look...I love me The Fugitive and think it's a very entertaining film with solid performances from the entire cast. However, can anyone say with a straight face that Tommy Lee Jones deserved the Oscar over Ralph Fiennes that year? His performance as Amon Goeth in Schindler's List is absolutely iconic. The man disappears in the role and shows us just how evil man can become given the right set of circumstances.
While Tommy Lee Jones is very entertaining as Gerard, his performance just isn't on the same level. Obviously people will counter with the likes of Crash, Shakespeare in Love, or even How Green Was My Valley...but I think Tommy Lee Jones beating out Fiennes is a far more egregious error.

It’s a holiday weekend, maybe let that bitterness go.

You can't deny Tommy Lee Jones' tour de force performance playing Tommy Lee Jones.
Fiennes was robbed for sure.

n the 1993 film The Fugitive. He orders his team,

2001: A Space Odyssey losing to Oliver for production design and not even being nominated for cinematography are all timers
