Head to Head(Those who won over those who should have)
1. Forrest Gump over Pulp Fiction(Best Picture, 1994)
I honestly did love Tom Hanks in Forrest Gump, but I don't see the movie as Oscar worthy.
2. Shakespeare in Love over Saving Private Ryan(Best Picture, 1998)
I never saw the former, but it shocks me that this Tom Hanks film didn't get the award.
Ummm...Confuse me?
Again, I never saw the former, but it's pretty obvious Jerry Maguire was better.

It shocked me that she didn't win anything for her amazing/legendary performance.
This is a great movie and I do agree that Affleck should have won.
For the level of crazy Bardem brought to the movie, he deserved something.

I can't be the only one who sees this doesn't make sense.
Now that we've taken a trip to the past to shake our heads at the idiot voters, let's move forward and save our next hissy fit for the Oscars to come.
I liked your post and I thought it was really intersting because what are the exact qualifications to make a movie Oscar worthy to you? I know for myself that Forrest Gump was Oscar worthy because it takes place in several different time periods with such a realistic feel because Forrest was such a simple man. I mean I love Pulp Fiction too but that did not have the same feel that Forrest Gump had. Also, the same goes for Crash because it showed how interconnected we are and the issues that unfortunately happen in even today's society. However I do agree that Judy Garland should have won something for the ultimate classic.
