Agree

The one that really stands out the most for me was... 'Saving Private Ryan' losing out on best picture to 'Shakespeare in Love'.

There, that's fixed.

See, as much as I love Joaquin, Benicio del Toro gave a great performance in Traffic. If anything, Traffic was the one that got snubbed, losing out on Best Picture to Gladiator, while Joaquin really got robbed when he lost Best Actor for The Master.

Many of Roger Deakins, such a crime!

Seller's performance as Chance The Gardner is one of cinemas all time greats. Think De Niro in Taxi Driver or F.Murray Abraham in Amadeus

“Being There” is a very underrated film.

On the visual effects side of things, Revenge of the Sith and Man of Steel not being nominated is hilarious. Both at the best effects of their respective years. If anything proved that these things are totally political, it's these two snubs. Hollywood hates Lucas because he can buy and sell all of them and doesn't play their games and WB didn't support R&H when they went bankrupt. Either way, in my mind, both were the clear winners.

I'm sorry, but Man of Steel has far from the best effects of last year, given that a little film called Gravity also came out that year.

Always the Oscar bridesmaid. However, his next movie looks just awardsy enough (about an Olympic runner taking as a POW in World War II) that he may finally get his trophy. But for this year's Oscars, it's Emmanuel Lubezki's race to lose.

Yea Benicio was great in Traffic, but Phoenix for me was just haunting in Gladiator.

The scenes where he is telling his sister he knows she is plotting with Maximus against him (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUcMo...ature=youtu.be) and when he finds out his father chose Maximus (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPTyx...ature=youtu.be) are out of this world!

Crash winning best picture.

My choice was Brokeback Mountain or Munich, but Capote and Good Night, Good Luck also were more deserving than Crash IMHO.


Julia Roberts named Best Actress over Ellen Burstyn for her work in Requiem for A Dream.

Roberts won that as a nod to her entire career I feel, Erin Brockovich wasn't even the best performance of her career.

Roberts wore a push up bra and...


um yeah.



I'm still baffled at the Academy over this one.


Don Cheadle snubbed for his amazing turn in Devil in a Blue Dress=FAIL!

Gravity didn't impress me. Bullock and Clooney's heads look very fake inside the helmets and I'm sorry, but things floating and crashing around in space just isn't that impressive anymore from an effects standpoint.

Tom Hanks, Sandra Bullock, Julia Roberts and Anne Hathaway have all won Oscars. ugh.

You mention Tom Hanks as if he doesn't deserve one...

Oh yea, she was disturbing to watch for me. Her speaking about her fascination about the red dress and about no one caring about her was so heart wrenching!

Fassbender not being nominated for Shame

[JavaJulien]

The Adventures of Tintin. Motion Capture "doesn't count" as Animation, yet the Academy also wouldn't nominate Andy Serkis for his role as Gollum.
