I was wondering which Oscar winners you guys have seen that didn't deserve to win, and what film nominated in the same year should have won?

I will do a few:

1940 - WINNER: Rebecca - Should have been Winner: The Philadelphia Story
1941 - WINNER: How Green was my Valley - SHBW: The Maltese Falcon
1946 - WINNER: The Best Years of Our Lives - SHBW: It's a Wonderful Life
1948 - WINNER: Hamlet - SHBW: The Treasure of the Sierra Madre
1950 - WINNER: All About Eve - SHBW: Sunset Boulevard
1951 - WINNER: An American in Paris - SHBW: A Place in the Sun
1958 - WINNER: GIGI - SHBW: Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
1961 - WINNER: West Side Story - SHBW: The Hustler
1962 - WINNER: Lawerence of Arabia - SHBW: To Kill a Mockingbird
1963 - WINNER: Tom Jones - SHBW: Cleopatra
1976 - WINNER: Rocky - SHBW: Taxi Driver
1990 - WINNER: Dances with Wolves - SHBW: Goodfellas
1997 - WINNER: Titanic - SHBW: LA Confidential
2001 - WINNER: A Beautiful Mind - SHBW: Lord of the Rings: FOTR
2002 - WINNER: Chicago - SHBW: Lord of the Rings: TTT

Ok first of all...go away with that Lord of the Rings crap. The worst of all three actually won Best Picture! Go Figure!

No, Titanic did win and should have won. Yes I love LA Confidential but sorry it's no Titanic.

Rocky was just fine as the winner in 77. Could have gone either way! If you didnt see Rocky back in 76/77 in the theater you have no idea what Im talking about!

What No Star Wars over Annie Hall? Hmm...lots of people think Star Wars should have won!
