5) We are going all the back to 2006 for number five. For the award of best supporting actor, the Oscar went to Alan Arkin for his role in Little Miss Sunshine. That movie was possibly the worst movie ever made that most people like. Who did he beat out? Marky Mark in The Departed. This is completely biased. I hate little miss sunshine and I get wood to Markymark in the Departed. I had to debate between this and Nicholson getting beat in '92 for his role in A Few Good Men.
4) In 1995 Nicholas Cage won an Oscar for the best actor in some movie I've never heard of before. Since all of America hates Cage, I can only assume he didn't deserve it. I guess you wouldn't call this a snub, but you would call it complete shit. Richard Dreyfus was nominated for Mr. Holland's Opus which is a pretty cool flick and he did a pretty good job. Better than Cage ever will. SNUB.
3) Well honestly I just wanted to make a top three list but three isn't enough. So yea I just threw the first two in for fun. Here is where it gets serious. The year is 2002 and the award is best picture. The gay ass musical Chicago takes it home over Gangs of New York. Shocking. I would have taken two of the other nominees, LOTR 2 or The Pianist over Chicago. Gangs of New York is phenomenal. By the way John C. Reilly was nominated for an Oscar for best supporting actor that year for Chicago. How?
2) 1998, Best picture. The winner: Shakespeare in Love. The winner in everyone else's eyes... Saving Ryan's Privates. This needs no follow up.
1) The worst snub of all time was because of the whole affirmative action thing. It spread to Hollywood to create one of America's worst moments ever. In 2000, Russell Crowe won the Oscar for best actor for Gladiator. Deserved it? Probably, the rest of the nominees were weak. The next year (2001) Ron Howard directs A Beautiful Mind starring Crowe. The film wins the best picture award (as it should). Crowe gives one of the best acting performances I've ever seen. Who wins the Oscar for the best actor? Denzel Washington for Training Day. It was so racist. Crowe > Dwash. I mean they should have actually had a 2nd place award for that year because Crowe had it locked up. Then, Sean Penn or Will Smith would have won 2nd and 3rd and Denzel wouldn't have gotten shit. The reason that the NAACP chose Denzel to win the Oscar over Will SMith was because Smith is actually white. Thanks affirmative action.
I'm done. Notice one thing. No women on this list. That's because women shouldn't be allowed to drive or vote.
