Name what you think are the most blatant errors in Oscars History

Natalie Portman winning one
Adrien Brody winning over Nicolas Cage

>Frozen won over The Wind Rises

>>85253244

>>85253294
Forgot to add
And he lost to a movie that was made in 3 months
XD

>>85253294
I didn't even know that it was the same year, but i saw the hurt Locker right after it won best picture and I was absolutely baffled what anybody thought the appeal was.

pure action movie schlock

>Tommy Lee Jones won Best Supporting actor for portraying Average Old Cop over Ralph Fiennes portraying Amon Goth

>>85252879
99 and Shakespeare in love winning best picture over elizabeth, life is beautiful, SPR or Thin red line.
Blanchette not getting best actress.

>>85253256
Then,
>he didn't win the award,

>>85253294
It's a technological and innovational feat. Fuck off

Star Wars didn't get Best Picture

>>85253338
>pure action movie schlock
At least try, anon.

>>85253390
This

Even any porno from 1999 is better than Shakespeare in Love

>Big Hero Six winning over the LEGO Movie or probably any other candidate
it was a mediocre movie.

>Leo's Oscar

>>85253552

This. It felt like an early Dreamworks movie.

This will never not infuriate me and fill me with pure, unbridled hate.

To this day, I have never seen Shakespeare in love, or know a single person who has seen it. Fuck, I've never even seen it in tv listings.

How this won is Fucking beyond me.

>>85253654
She did deserve them

Meryl Streep getting nominated every single year.

I don't agree with you pal

Jack Nicholson not winning supporting actor for A Few Good Men.
>You can't handle the truth!

It's just a stupid action movie with a cowboy MC that can't die because of plot armor, horrible writing, no upside.

>>85254477
It is not because of that, it actually wasn't

There were better films that year. Mad Max just plays on Le Epic trope and visuals

And Tom Hardy was a shit Max

Everybody else deserved that oscar more than Palance

Alien covenant is the only space movie that comes to mind that may get nominated for visual effects this year but it's no where near the level war is on.

>>85254723
I wanted Walton Goggins to win that year for Hateful Eight, but Stallone would've been better than Rylance

>>85254688
Disagree. Gran Torino deserved best pic more than The Wrestler

>>85253292
Half the animated ones are bullshit. Almost always goes to the most popular one.

>>85254723

To be honest, LotR is one big movie split into three for convenience. Those 11 Oscars RotK got were pretty much for the whole trilogy.

>>85255019
That does not justify snubing Mystic Riber, lost in Translation, and Master and Commander

Up in the Air not winning best picture over The Hurt Locker. It wasn't an incredible film but Hurt Locker has got to be the most overrated movie ever made; the only thing good about it is Renner's acting and the anxiety in the bomb defusal scenes.

>He doesn't know what a physical performance is

>>85254994
You're probably right anon.

>>85255135
No, you go back to R*ddit! He did nothing but sit there in a calm manner. He did nothing but copy what ben Kingsley did better in schindler List. He did not deserve that Oscar. He just got it because he is Spielberg's pretty boy now

>>85255135
I liked him in Bridge of Spies and he's a good actor. But his role was nothing special

>>85254688
Slumdog Millionaire is so fucking forgettable. It's finely made and everything, but when you get down to it it's just a dressed up rom com.
Dark Knight should have at least been nominated, over Slumdog.

>>85255135
Don't get me wrong, Rylance delivered a great performance and deserved his oscar it's just that I preferred Ruffalo's performance a bit more.
There's a difference between thinking someone should of won instead and thinking that the person who did win didn't deserve it and you need to understand that anon.

>>85255103
TKS was better though, stop being a contrarian

>>85255166
For what category?

>>85252879
the only award hand zimmer deserves is cancer
he ruined film scores

>>85252879
Hans zimmer was nominated. Check 2015 Oscar nominees.

Ellen Burstyn performance in Requiem for a Dream losing to Julia Roberts.

Sean Penn not winning best actor for I am Sam. I guess because he went full retard.

Gee, Anon, I'm sorry subtlety is so easily lost on you. I'm sorry that layered, multi-faceted, mysterious performances don't appeal to you, and that you have worse taste than the fucking Oscars. I truly am.

In the entire trilogy, nothing for McKellen, Mortensen or Sam actor.

>>85252879
>Hans Zimmer wasn't even nominated for Interstellar score

He's really nothing special at all.

Like half of his work is exactly the same tone, and built on the same general layering tropes.

Start with a bass instrument going
DADADADADADADADADA

then add in some tom fills and horn and violin swells.

That describes like half of what he does.

>>85256963
Sean Astin for Return of the King maybe. As much as I love Viggo he doesn't really get a chance to steal the show and show off.

Absolutely nothing for Rush. Zimmer should have at least been nominated because it was one of his few recent scores that didn't just sound like everything else he has done. He can get a bit repetitive but I thought that his score for Rush was really good

Batman v Superman getting zero nominations for OST, visual effects or cinematography. That was pretty rough when you know how much went into it.

>>85254083
>With his The King’s Speech up against rival Rudin’s The Social Network, Weinstein went particularly hard on event-throwing. There was a post-nomination party hosted by Ridley Scott, Jennifer Lopez, and Mick Jagger; a star-studded party hosted by Arianna Huffington; a screening attended by the media elite, like Rupert Murdoch and Katie Couric; and much more.

so that's why The King's Speech beat The Social Network. What the fuck, I bet Weinstein switched the cards this year too

Big Hero 6 over Song of the Sea, The Tale of the Princess Kaguya, How to Train Your Dragon 2, and (unnominated) Lego Movie.

It was at that moment I realized the Best Animated Feature Oscar was nothing but a way for Disney to pat themselves on the back.

Social Network winning Best Score over HTTYD and Inception.

Honestly that pick was so bad, it makes me glad Fincher lost Best Director for TSN.
