For the first time in years I was unable to watch The Academy Awards. This would be due to the fact that I am currently too poor to afford Cable TV. However I just looked up the results. It always seems that the film/star I want to win, never does (save No Country For Old Men). I admit The Hurt Locker was a good flick, but Avatar was absolutely incredible. I'm starting to wonder whether these people know what they're talking about. After all, they did snub Star Wars. I also wanted Cary Mulligan to win but that's probably just because I fancy her.
So, in honour of tonight, I have decided to compile a list of the best films to be nominated for, but not win, Best Picture:
1 - Jaws (1975)
2 - Star Wars (1977)
3 - Apocalypse Now (1979)
4 - Raging Bull (1980)
5 - Goodfellas (1990)
6 - The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
7 - Pulp Fiction (1994)
8 - Fargo (1996)
9 - Good Will Hunting (1997)
10 - Lord of the Rings (2001)
After writing this list. It's clear that the Academy are idiots.
Goodnight.
