The options in the poll are what is said to be the biggest best picture upset's of all time. Sorry if I missed some of the older ones. I'm just not as familiar with that time. I went with 'Forrest Gump' over 'The Shawshank Redemption' and 'Pulp Fiction'. I'm actually a pretty big fan of 'Forrest Gump', but 'Shawshank' and 'Pulp Fiction' are two of my favorite movies of all time. Edit: Whoops, I forgot one of the biggest ones of all: 'Shakespeare in Love' over 'Saving Private Ryan'. Looks like the "other" category will get some love.
