Whats the Best Nom. to not win Best Picture

Star Wars, Goodfellas and Pulp Fiction...robbed, I tell you!

Star Wars went up against Annie Hall, Annie Hall is great movie so it's not really a robbery.

Goodfellas went up against Dances with Wolves, Dances With Wolves probably was a lot more revolutionary 17 years ago back when it introduced a western that has Indians that weren't like frickin cartoon characters, it also a great film... AGain not a robbery considering that Goodfellas didn't revolutionize the Gangster picture like Godfather did, though Goodfellas is a great film that I love.

Pulp Fiction went up against Forest Gump... These in themselves are not robberies....
 
Saving Private Ryan losing to Shakespeare in Love back in '98.
Now that was a robbery.
 
Shawshank should have won.

In fact i would say star wars should have won because it was so revolutionary, i believe empire strikes back deserved a nom at least.

Sadly, that movie was not well liked back then.
Only years and years later is it truly/widely considered as the best chapter of Star Wars.

First I hear of this!

Yep, it's true.
I read it from somewhere. I bet any poster who was around at that time could probably confirm it.

Agreed. That movie also robbed Cate Blanchett of her oscar

Damn straight. :down

Also, I am glad to see so many people list The Shawshank Redemption. It was going up against Pulp Fiction (my favorite movie) and Forrest Gump, so it's loss was not in vain. :up:
 
the Fellowship of the Ring
the Two Towers

Even though I think Chicago shouldn't have won in 2002, I also don't think that The Two Towers should have either. The movie that was truly robbed was The Pianist.
