Films/Actors that should have won the Oscar


Recommended Posts

Cool. I would have given to Gangs over the others.

that's a pretty weak list of best pic nominees although I do love Chicago but it has no place being in the running for best picture of any year

I would pick The Pianist of those five but that's not saying much

and on a side note, back to Scorsese, Gangs Of New York and every movie since has been incredibly overrated, including The Departed. I would say Gangs of NY-The Wolf of Wall Street is his worst period of films, by far. It's really not even close.

That's how I was looking at it. I don't even think Gangs is a great movie, but when looking at what won and what was nominated. Like I said I've never seen The Pianist so I don't know, it could be a better movie than Gangs.

I agree with that wholeheartedly, especially in regard to Gangs and The Departed (which is at times painfully bad). I will step up to defend Hugo, which is glorious and his delightful Fran Lebowitz documentary Public Speaking. As great as this continuing collaboration has been for DiCaprio, it's clearly draining the juice out of Scorsese. I hope Wolf of Wall Street is great, but it would be pretty surprising.

I've never had a problem with Chicago winning BP. It virtually never goes to most deserving, at least the movie is legitimately wonderful. Seriously, The Artist, The King's Speech, Crash, Argo...Chicago is not an offensive winner, not by a long shot

Excuse my French but, are you fucking kidding? Two Towers and The Pianist were infinitely more deserving than one of Scorsese's weakest ever pieces.
