I didn't think Leo was great in Wolf of Wall Street. It was just him overacting like Al Pacino.

Sean Penn (Mystic River) winning over Bill Murray (Lost in Translation).

Sandra Bullock winning for The Blind Side. The movie didn't feel Oscar worthy.

Shawshank Redemption won nothing, not an Oscar or anything else from any award show of any note.

I disagree. Yes, his performance was over the top. But have you ever seen the real Jordan Belfort give a speech? He's over the top in real life.

It still doesn't change my opinion on the performance. I don't think it's one of his best. I do agree he should had won with The Aviator, though Foxx was great as well. He also should have been nominated in Titanic. He was by far the best character in that movie (except for the dude that got creamed by the ship's propeller).

We can agree on this. It's the epitome of "unintentionally funny."

I enjoyed Leo's performance in Aviator also, but thought Foxx was magnificent in Ray. Could have gone either way.

Jaws was nominated for best picture but Spielberg got snubbed and wasn't even nominated for best director.

In the end it took took the awards for best sound, editing and original score.
Racing is life. Anything before or after is just waiting.

Danny DeVito needs to win a lifetime achievement award for looking the way he does and still getting as much work as he does.

Agree. As much as I love Shawshank Redemption, Pulp Fiction was the best picture.

Gump was a distant third.

Any one of Pulp Fiction, Shawhank, Gump, or Lion King could've won that year.

Edit: Lion King was not nominated. Quiz Show was.

Add Lion King to the snub list.

That year was stacked, and in my opinion, Pulp Fiction was the best movie of that year. The movie that did win was third, if not fourth of 1994.

I love PF but Shawshank imo was the better film, and also holds up better over time.

Forrest Gump deserved it. It appeals to everyone unlike pulp fiction and has stood the test of time. That's not taking away from the other two.

Gump was the safe choice for the Academy. Plus, being so popular with the masses, it brought in viewers to the awards telecast. But it wasn't close to being the Best Picture of 1994.

Pulp Fiction was a violent, hard-R movie from an unknown director and nobody saw Shawshank in the theaters. 90% of everyone who's ever seen Shawshank saw it for the first time on TNT.

The academy certainly doesn't have safe choices anymore. I swear I've never heard of half the winners these days.

They should just give it to the best Marvel movie each year at this point.

What would you rather watch?
17 - Thor Ragnarok or The Shape of Water
16 - Deadpool or Moonlight
15 - Avengers: Age of Ultron or Spotlight
14 - Guardians of the Galaxy or Birdman
13 - Iron Man 3 or 12 Years a Slave
12 - The Avengers or Argo
11 - Captain America: The First Avenger or The Artist

I have some beefs with a couple Original Score snubs:
- Grand Budapest over Interstellar (is this not the greatest score to a film since Star Wars?) I don't know that any film affected me more through music than what Hans Zimmer did with Interstellar
- Daft Punk's Tron not even being nominated. I'm OK with Social Network winning but come on Daft Punk put out a masterpiece.

Personally, I really love Argo. But you're not wrong.

Considering Best Picture doesn't mean Most Entertaining Movie, Hollywood will continue to award it to friends and family, and artsy 'creating conversation' about preferred messaging films.

Like a movie about getting boned by a fish, for example.
