What are the most disputed Oscar wins for Best Picture??

[Tommy Fits]

Dances with Wolves over Goodfellas

Came here to say this.

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

Ones i would dispute:

English patient
Shakespear in love
Crash

AmericN Beauty was good but not no best pic, that was a weak yr tho so i guess it wins by default regardless.

 

[Rekkapryde]

Out of Africa over the Color Purple (still @ having 11 oscar nominations and not winning 1....biggest bullshyt ever)

 

[StraxStrax]

No Country for Old Men over There Will Be Blood.

Now TWBB is considered the greatest movie of the 21th century.

 

[Street Knowledge]

Crash is a solid film. But Literally the minute it won best picture the revionist history happened and nikkaz made it out to be soul plane status. fukk outta here

Forrest Gump over pulp fiction was an abomination

 

[Dylmatic]

Critics Pick the Best Movies of the Decade - Metacritic

 

[StraxStrax]

Critics Pick the Best Movies of the Decade - Metacritic

So because 5 out of 37 critics that Metacritic picked had There Will Be Blood at #1 it must be true? Yeah you can call it your fav. or whatever but saying "considered the greatest movie of the 21th century." and having 5 out of 37 random critics agreeing with you is not a good argument (at least not in your favour)

lol Forest Gump had to win that year. Everyone was talking about Forest Gump that year. It was the Good Old American Feel good movie.

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

Oscar's has always been on some other shyt.

 

[Methodical]

Out of Africa over the Color Purple (still @ having 11 oscar nominations and not winning 1....biggest bullshyt ever)

THIS!

 

[Methodical]

No Country for Old Men over There Will Be Blood.

Now TWBB is considered the greatest movie of the 21th century.

Look at the title again......breh.

It could go either way so I would have no problem if one of them win.

 

[Bud Bundy]

The French Connection over A Clockwork Orange. The French Connection is on par with an average James Bond movie.
Rocky over Network and Taxi Driver. I love Rocky but c'mon.

clockwork orange was good but ahead of it's time. It was not winning during that era. And i am sure that vote was close between rocky, network and Taxi driver.

 

[Jixson]

How Green Was My Valley over Citizen Kane



For Picture and Director



My personal one is To Kill a Mockingbird losing to Lawrence of Arabia.

Yeah you're right.

The French Connection
A Clockwork Orange
Fiddler on the Roof
The Last Picture Show
Nicholas and Alexandra

I haven't seen N&A but the rest is so good TFC winning is mindblowing too me.

Annie Hall over Star Wars in 1978
