Sometimes the decision is so hard but these I am sure of:
1939- Best Picture was "Gone with the Wind" should have gone to "The Wizard of Oz".
1941: "How Green Was My Valley" won best picture should have gone to "Citizen Kane".
1947- Best Picture went to "Gentleman's Agreement", should have gone to "Miracle on 34th Street".
1950- Best Picture went to "All About Eve" should have definitely gone to "Sunset Blvd."
1950- Best Picture went to "All About Eve" should have definitely gone to "Sunset Blvd."
1952- Best Picture went to "The Greatest Show on Earth" should have gone to "High Noon". But Cecil B. DeMille produced and directed "The Greatest..." so you can see why it won.
1957: Best Picture went to "The Bridge on the River Kwai" and it should have gone to "12 Angry Men".
1963- Best picture went to "Tom Jones", should have gone to "Cleopatra" or "Lilies of the Field". Anything other than this RUBBISH.
1968- Oilver Reed should have won Best Supporting Actor for his terrifying portrayal of Bill Sykes in "Oliver!"
1969- Best Picture was "Midnight Cowboy" should have gone to "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid".
1971- Best Picture was "The French Connection," should have gone to "A Clockwork Orange." No if, ands, or buts. It was a more entertaining and interesting movie.
1979- Best Picture was "Kramer V. Kramer," should have gone to "Norma Rae." It had so much more meaning behind it.
1981- Best Picture was "Chariots of Fire," I didn't like many of the movies nominated that year but I would have settled for "Raiders of the Lost Ark" first before the others. At least it kept me awake.
1987- Best Picture was "The Last Emperor" it should have been "Hope and Glory"
1989- Best Picture was "Driving Miss. Daisy" It should have been "Steel Magnolias". Sally Field should have been nominated for Best Supporting Actress for "Steel Magnolias".
1990- Best Picture was "Dances With Wolves" should have been "Good Fellas". I mean, which one do you watch every time it's on tv??

1991- "Thelma and Lousie" should have been nominated for Best Picture.
1995- Best Actor went to Nicolas Cage for "Leaving Las Vegas," and it should have gone to Sean Penn for "Dead Man Walking." One of the most moving and believable roles ever.
1996- Best Picture was "The English Patient," and should have gone to one of my most favorite movies, "Fargo." The whole cast is priceless.
1998- One of the BIGGEST disappointments. Best Picture was, "Shakespeare in Love," It should have been "Saving Private Ryan." Every other movie nominated that year including "Elizabeth," and "Life is Beautiful," deserved it more.
1998- Best Actress was Gwyneth Paltrow from "Shakespeare in Love" which was STOLEN from Cate Blanchett for "Elizabeth." She sent chills through me.
2000- Best Actress was Julia Roberts who won for "Erin Brockovitch," or did her breasts win? Either way it should have been Ellen Burstyn for "Requiem for a Dream." Best supporting actor went to Benicio Del Toro for "Traffic" should have gone to Joaquin Phoenix for "The Gladiator".
2001- Another big upset was Denzel Washington won Best Actor for "Training Day." For what? Playing a corrupt cop? Should have easily gone to Russell Crowe for "A Beautiful Mind," for playing a schizophrenic. Then Crowe would have been one of the few people with back-to-back Oscar wins.
2002- This one I still have NOT recovered from "Chicago," stole the Oscar for Best Picture when it should have clearly been "The Pianist."
2006- Best Supporting Actress was Rachel Weisz for "The Constant Gardener," but Amy Adams was more amazing in "Junebug."
2006- Best Picture was "The Departed," good movie but not as original as "Little Miss Sunshine," which should have won. Come on, a comedy hasn't won since "Annie Hall."
2010- Best Actress was Natalie Portman for "Black Swan". I didn't love her acting in that movie if anything her co-star Mila Kunis should have been nominated. Jennifer Lawrence should have won for "Winter's Bone".
2010- Best Supporting Actress went to Christian Bale who was very good in "The Fighter" but I liked Geoffrey Rush in "The King's Speech" more.
2010- Melissa Leo is extremely talented but I would have given her Best Supporting Actress award for "The Fighter" to Hailee Steinfeld for her role in "True Grit". For a young girl of 14 acting in a period piece her acting was amazingly natural.
2011- "The Artist" was an excellent and different movie for this age but I adored "The Help".
2012- Best Supporting actress should have went to Amy Adams for "The Master" rather than Anne Hathaway for "Les Miserables".
2012- Best Picture should have been "Django Unchained" instead of "Argo". Sorry, Ben.
2013- Best Picture should have been "Captain Phillips" not "12 Years a Slave"
2014- Best Picture should have been "The Grand Budapest Hotel" not "Birdman"
2017- Best Picture should have been "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri" instead of "The Shape of Water". Although I love director Del Toro.
2018 - Best Picture should have been "Roma" not "Green Book". Although Green Book was a good movie.
2019- "Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood" should have won Best Picture not "Parasite."
"Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood" should have won Original Screenplay not "Parasite."
Scarlett Johansson should have won Best Supporting Actress for "Jo Jo Rabbit" not Laura Dern for "Marriage Story". Although I love Dern.
2021- Will Smith shouldn't have won anything because he assaulted someone on stage.
1995- Best Actor went to Nicolas Cage for "Leaving Las Vegas," and it should have gone to Sean Penn for "Dead Man Walking." One of the most moving and believable roles ever.
