Lost in 1941 to "How Green is my Valley". This movie is generaly thought of as the greatest movie of all time, and I agree. Orson Welles wrote, directed, and stared in this movie. Kane lost the oscar because of its political nature, and because it was loosely based on the life of William Randolph Herst, who controlled everything at the time.
Lost in 1991 to the deserving "Silence of the Lambs". Once again this movie was thought of as to political for the acadamy. Director Oliver Stone has the tendency to bend the truth on some of his historical movies, but he does speak alot of the truth. Because of this movie I became a Kennedy assassination nerd.
Lost in 1997 to "Titanic". What a joke. This movie was by far the best of the year. Amazing preformances by the all-star cast including Kevin Spacey, Russell Crowe, Guy Pearce, and Kim Basinger (who won the best supporting actress oscar).
Lost in 1977 to Woody Allen's "Annie Hall". Maybe I am thought it should win because I grew up on this movie as a kid, and it is one of my favorites of all time. "Star Wars" changed alot of people's lives and it is still in the top 5 for all time box office sales. A must see for anyone...young or old.
Lost in 2000 to the overrated "Gladitor". With oscars going to Steven Soderbergh for best director, and one of my favorite actors Benicio Del Toro for best supporting actor, and best addapted screenplay, it was a shoe in for best picture. "Gladitor" was good, but not "Traffic" good.
