I think a lot of the controversial Oscar wins were correction Oscar’s, “hey sorry you didn’t get one when you should have so here’s this one”
The "Consolation" or "Belated" Oscar. I'm not saying that _The Departed_ was a bad movie and not worthy of winning Best Director, but Scorsese losing for either Raging Bull, Goodfellas, Casino was simply criminal.
I remember Russell Crowe getting one for Gladiator, when he should have won for The Insider the previous year
@@fabrislemos Absolutely correct! Director
Michael Mann knows how to pull riveting performances from his actors. Russell Crow for The Insider, Tom Cruise for Collateral, and the entire cast of Heat, all should have gotten Oscars. Michael Mann never winning an Oscar for Best Director is just criminal. Ridley Scott is another director who was unceremoniously snubbed by the Academy.
@@PhantomFilmAustralia Raging Bull and Goodfellas, yes, but he didn't deserve it for Casino. I think it should have been Ron Howard for Apollo 13, who bizarrely wasn't nominated.
@@PhantomFilmAustralia He was not nominated for directing Casino.
How in hell did Ralph Fiennes not win the Oscar for Schindler's List?
Because Tommy Lee Jones won for The Fugitive.
As the guy who has not yet seen Schindler's List, I can clearly say that the Fugitive was an excellent movie that wouldn't have worked without Tommy Lee Jones. He's that supporting actor who really is a second lead.
Also, it could have been because they wanted to give that award to someone other than a Spielberg film. His two (two of his best and the most iconic) together won ten Oscars. That could have heavily influenced the ceremony
@@NeoConnor1 You obviously didn't watch the video.
Agreed, Fiennes was robbed. Tommy Lee Jones gave a SNL-Razzie level performance. Kinda cringe even though I love The Fugitive.
Fiennes would have been my top pick, followed by John Malkovich for In the Line of Fire.
How Jim Carrey wasn't even nominated for _The Truman Show_ when Benigni won still baffles me 25 years later.
He was great playing Andy Kaufman too.
I think Benigni was good. True enough, Benigni is always Benigni, he just made an epic movie so his benigniness was tightened within that firm context.
But I agree. The Truman Show is my favorite Jim Carrey movie. And I love him in general.
@@pointblack808 Carrey wss great in "The Truman Show".
It's simple. Comedians are the oppressed class of the Oscars
@@Tesla_Death_Ray Robin Williams had just won the year before.
Cate Blanchett should have won for Elizabeth but she has the last laugh. She now has two Oscars and she will continue to work for years to come. You can’t say that about Paltrow.
Right. Paltrow Was the hot thing at the time, so she won. But I like the win
At least Cate doesnt have to sell candles with vagina scent
Who's Paltrow?
Nope. Fernanda Montenegro should have won.
People who think Cate Blanchett should have won never saw "Central Station". And, no, Fernanda didn't get the last laugh. RIP.
Fernando Montenegro should have easily won best actress for central station.
She really left me speechless in this film
Yeah. She was magnificent in that role.
Agreed. If you want to see a man who's never cried before, cry, just show them that movie.
She was only the second-best. Cate Blanchett was the best that year.
@@reinebautistamercado4286 Sorry, babe. Fernanda was the best. And it's not close.
@@pdxtim97209 Well, the awards say otherwise.
I’m glad Jamie Lee Curtis has an Oscar but she wasn’t even the Best supporting actress in her movie. Stephanie Tsu and Angela Basset should have been battling each other with Jamie just glad to be there. Never did I think she’d win.
Nah Kerry Condon in Banshees was far better that all of them
Should of been nominated for Freaky Friday, A Fish Called Wanda, Trading Places, Halloween, and True Lies
@@christiansoto1367 I'm sorry, but she is not very good in Halloween. The climax of that film, she is just screaming uncontrollably, falling over and making some dumb decisions. She was much better in H20 and the recent trilogy because her character had matured and was more intelligent than the generic "final girl".
@@jims7383 I would agree but it’s slightly negated by the fact I forgot about her. Not a very memorable performance.
Well they definitley didn't give it to her as a career award or Glenn Close and Annette Bening would have one by now.
Al Pacino should have won for The Godfather, The Godfather II or Serpico.
He Gave a riveting performance in Dog Day Afternoon.
For some reason I always thought he won for Godfather II, and I'm shocked that he didn't win for either film
I'm not even a Pacino fan and I recognize that he's a standout among standouts in those movies. It took Marlon Brando and Robert De Niro to stay on the level he was on
That's like a case for three of the best actors of all time, all giving some of their best work, but one didn't win despite being in both films. Kinda unbelievable
Or all three.
or even Dog Day Afternoon
@@PhantomFilmAustralia My favorite!
It's funny how people say "I wish more comedic performances won the Oscar", and then paradoxically include on their "worst winners lists" practically every Oscar winner for a comedic role...
Exactly lol.
I was thinking that too! 😂😂😂
I think the only comedic performances that have won at the Oscars and aren't so hated are Audrey Hepburn (Roman Holiday) and Jessica Tandy (Driving Miss Daisy)
@@giovannyespinoza6013 i agree, thou there are people who wanted other nominees to win over the 'old lady winning a career oscar'
@@giovannyespinoza6013 i think marisa tomei also, they hated it at that time but now seems like everyone loves it
For 1998, I agree that Edward Norton in AMERICAN HISTORY X is the better performance, but I think you're being too harsh on Roberto Benigni. Whatever you may think of LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL, he does a good job combining physical comedy with pathos, being serious when he needs to be, always having an extra scheme up his sleeve. It's a strong tragi-comedic performance.
Agreed. I actually think it’s a superb film on many levels
Oh my Gosh no…. That was one of the most annoying acting performances of all time!
As an italian, he does (did, he almost quit acting, now he does television) the same role in every movie with minimal variations, he is basically just being himself in that movie. I'm not a fan of Life is beautiful and I find that win pretty absurd but I can't be mad about him because of how funny he is in his speeches😂 btw unlike it's said in the video here the movie is still well known and popular, it's that kind of movie that everyone has heard of, that you see at school and your grandma loves
Yes!
It is one of my favourite movies ever! And perhaps it is not talked about in the US, but In Europe, yes!
I can't believe Gwenyth won over Cate Blanchett.
Not only I hate the fact that Patrow won over Fernanda Montenegro dazzling performance but also Life is Beautiful won against Central Station in Best Foreign Film, an incredible movie
Who the fuck is Patrow ???
@@bingovegas4867 Oh sorry "Paltrow" dude is just a missing l
Any other actress would be better than Gwyneth Paltrow. The fact that "Central Station" lost to "Life is Beautiful" it was sad, but expected because of the theme. What I think is even worse is "Shakespeare in Love" (which is a nice film, but not Oscar worthy of Best Picture) winning over "Saving Private Ryan". That's absurd.
You forgot Sandra Bullock in ‘the Blind Side’. Just ridiculous award for that movie.
He said this in other video, this is like part two, 20 worst pick, he mention Sandra Bullock
Sandra Bullock deserved the Oscar, who do you think deserved it that year? Meryl Streep did more of the same in "Julie and Julia", the scenic force of "Preciosa" was Mo'nique, she swallowed Gaborey in that film, "Education" Carey Mulligan's film was boring and she gave a good performance, but not extraordinary , Helen Mirren had recently won for "The Queen"... don't you think that's an exaggeration of yours about Bullock. She was the best of 2009, whether you like it or not.
Andrew Garfield is so incredibly talented, I could not agree more with you on "Tick, Tick, Boom!"
Denzel Washington even said recently he was glad Al Pacino won since Denzel already won an Oscar for Glory. He admitted that Al was one of the actors that influenced him, and the fact that was his 8th nomination it was time for Al to get his Oscar.
People saying Denzel was robbed was nonsense
Yea sure that’s fine but we’re looking at stats here
And Al pacino did not deserve it Denzel did but I’m also glad he won cause that would have been a crime to not have al pacino get one Oscar
I believe he deserved the win....spectacular performance....
Stephanie Hsu should have won the Oscar for best supporting actress!
Flat out 💯
Right. She gave a stunning performance. What a technique, and grace.
This movie is one of the rare "Hollywood"'s movie I've seen in a long time.
It was positively astounding.
I knew East Asians's creativity wouldn't have disappointed me.
Gwyneth Paltrow...WTF was THAT for? Looking back I think that was a horrible decision.
And to make it worse, I'm pretty sure she got cast after hooking up with Weinstein.
Anyone that actually saw "Central Station" voted for Fernanda Montenegro. The problem was most voters didn't.
Happens if you knew Harvey Weinstein back then.Madonna won for Masterpiece over Elton John / Mary J. Blige coz of him.
Fernanda Montenegro should have won for CENTRAL STATION, but Harvey Weinstein....
Bought by Harvey Weinstein.
I remember being shocked that Liam Neeson didn't win an Oscar for Schindler's List, but when I heard it went to Tom Hanks for Philadelphia, I thought "Ah okay, that could've gone either way."
The fact that Tommy Lee Jones won for The Fugitive that year over Ralph Fiennes?? That one is more of a shocker.
Fernanda Montenegro performance in "Central Station" still one of my favs of all time. She should've won.
As much as Paltrow's performance is undeserving, I'm not as mad as most people about her not making the first list. Sandra Bullock is the all-time worst winner in the category, imo. It was a clear popularity win and Gabourey Sidibe was robbed. I also think Fernanda Montenegro should have won in 1999.
I agree.
@@voooldo Seconded!
I honestly wonder how Sandra Bullock even has an acting career let alone an oscar. I don't dislike her or anything, but she should really be in Hallmark movies. Quite how she's managed to become an a-list actor is beyond me. The same goes for Mark Wahlberg. I have no idea how he's made a career as an actor and a highly paid one at that. I've never seen him do a good performance in anything including interviews. He's a charisma vacuum.
Paltrow is a good actress. Go back & watch her in Flesh & Bone 1993.
@@samanthab1923 no one is saying she isn't but her performance in that year wasn't better than the other nominees
The supporting actor should have gone to Schindler’s List. Ralph Fiennes performance is chilling. He plays an outstanding villain in whatever movie he’s in. It’s voice acting or live action. He deserves an award.
Fiennes is one of my fave actors--he can do anything from heavy drama to flat out comedy with seemingly total ease. Of course he's never won and probably won't at this point. A shame.
Am I the only one who still loves Life is Beautiful?
It's a great movie! With great music! It deserves all the love ❤
@@mihalalus agreed
I love that movie, and especially more after I learned Italian. But seriously, he did not deserve to win best actor for that. I don’t think you should even have been nominated. He’s not really a good actor. He’s a good comedian.
It's not a bad movie but the competition was better
No, not at all! I thought it was a very good film.
Central Station should have won best foreign language film instead of life is beautiful
If Julianne Moore wins supporting in ‘98, then Rosemund Pike wins in ‘15 for Gone Girl.
No she doesn't. They stopped giving awards like to genre films a long time ago.
@@jurney3478 Joaquin Phoenix won the Oscar for Joker. Everything Everywhere All At Once won seven Oscars.
@@jurney3478EEAAO won best picture last year lol.
Life is Beautiful is one of my all-time favorite movies, so I can't say I agree. I don't find it cringy, I found it very emotionally charged, and not only that, but it balances very different tones tones so well. Roberto Benigni's performance is the core of that movie, so I'm happy he was recognized for it. And as a non-American, I think the movie's legacy, at least in my country, was more impactful than the other examples mentioned. Just my opinion.
100% agree. His opinion surprised me A LOT.
I also agree. From my perspective, Life Is Beautiful is an absolute classic.
@@arthurhernandez3854 I thinks what irks people more is how or why he won. The infamous Miramax juggernaut was in full force that year.
I haven't seen the film myself but judging by the IMDb and Letterboxd score, I think Brian is in the minority here. I hear almost nothing but love for Life Is Beautiful
Same here!
As someone who is still in High School, life is beautiful was shown in our film class and the whole class fell in love with it, and our teacher even showed us the Oscar clips. I think that Roberto Benigni was very well deserved and that and the movie itself has aged beautifully
Something similar happened to the year before John Wayne's win. Cliff Robertson for Charly, seriously? That year should be O'Toole's win for The Lion in Winter to me.
good example!
Yes, I agree completely! The Lion in Winter is a great movie and O'Toole got robbed.
@@davedavis8786Ditto!
@@davedavis8786he was robbed 3 times
Totally agree with you!
I think that benedict cumberbach should have won for the power of the dog
💯
I love your words❤
For me.... Sandra Bullock winning Best Actress for The Blind Side
I adore Life is Beautiful, and I don’t agree on you saying no one talks about it anymore. I know tons of people who still talk about and adore that movie.
Wish you were more respectful to those of us who love that movie😡
I'm not a fan of that movie but I respect those who love it and it's fine. This Brian guy has his own biases and it's showing a lot in his recent videos. I agree that he should show some respect because he's been trashing stuff and being a tad too disrespectful lately on some takes.
I think the main thing is exactly Benini's ACTOR win. His performance is really quite farce-y, bafoonish, over the top comedy and not in the way/style of the Academy. I was, as a European and a huge Italian cinema school fan kinda flattered for Academy choice for the Best Picture - deep down disagreed (Central Station is more of a universally deep and cinematic language-wise more relatable, self-explanatory movie), but understood. Sentimental, positive but WAR FILM. Hollywood adoooores WW2 ( and WW1 and any war to be honest)))) done with terrifying and gore detail and not as a backdrop, but as a main theme))) but choosing Benini for the Best Actor - ahem.... I almost fell off of my chair and not in the best way)) my parents watched the live broadcast with me that night, mum also was shocked, dad (a theatrical director) said - well, someone in the Academy finally had developed A GOOD TASTE))) For him Benini was great, exactly because this performance was over the top and absolutely different in a row of typical, predictable wins from decades before. But for me and mum it was a bit too much, felt wrong. The same win would be great in the Berlin, Cannes, Venice cultural and traditional frame, sure. But Hollywood trying to play "unconventional" in order to NOT GIVE IT to the ones who truly are deserving of the prize - that's... .... that's... that's both silly and vile to me.
I completely agree with this list. And it's impressive how much Miramax totally cursed the 1999 Oscars. It's an eternal stain on the Academy's history, even more so today knowing all the horrors involving Miramax's owners. A total shame.
Don't blame Miramax, blame the voters.
Paltrow; no, shouldn’t have won…Blanchett; certainly worthy of a win…but Fernanda Montenegro in Central Station deserved an Oscar the most imho.
I’ve argued that the reason Ralph Fiennes (Schindler’s List) and William H Macy (Fargo) din’t win was because their characters were garbage human beings.
That makes sense to me and then I think about how the great Anthony Hopkins won for playing Dr. Lecter. Maybe the monster has to be over the top to win?
To be fair Hopkins portrayal of Lector was charming in places and kind of likeable where as Ralph Fienes and Macy were completely unlikeable characters which is probably why they didn't win.
@@rocky5000100 You are right. He is a weirdly "likable" monster
I see the point, but that just proves why they _should_ have won; ralph and william are the opposite of garbage human beings yk😅 honestly, same level as heath ledger and joker; heath was the total opposite of a murdering psychotic
That didn't stop Louise Fletcher, Anthony Hopkins or Mo'Nique from winning
As soon as they cut the audio after Will Smith slapped Chris Rock, proving it was not a bit, my first thought was “Does this mean Andrew Garfield wins?!?!?!”
That’s similar to how I was thinking
But it happened like 30 minutes before Smith won so the vote was already in
@@seankoontz4235 I know. I was joking
The voting closed before the ceremony began.
@@seankoontz4235 Yeah, but I think it would be fine for them to disqualify Smith and give the award to the runner-up;
AL SHOULD HAVE FUCKIN HAD 3 OSCARS FOR DOG DAY AFTERNOON AND SERPICO AND GODFATHER , his oscar is the definition of "a win for a career not for the acting"
There is only one Pacino! Truly an amazing actor!
@@shadykatie100 one of a kind indeed , i see him on the screen and i get sooo excited he is just so good and his acting is extremely engaging
@@hamssayusuf1430 He is my favorite actor of all time. 😃
Helen Hunt, the worst. And thank you for mentioning Marissa Tomei, who very much deserved the win, but her win got sooooo much crap at the time.
I agree so much with the Jaime Lee Curtis role. After watching Everything Everywhere All at Once I was shocked that she won an Oscar for that. Not that she was bad per se, but that's a pretty simple role that most actors would hace portrayed serviceable. Certainly not an awards worthy performance.
Hi Brian, I’ve been following your videos for quite a while and I usually enjoy them, even when I don’t personally agree with you. I never left you a sort of negative comment before, but this time I felt I had to say something. You said you didn’t like Life is beautiful and that’s fine, that’s your taste, I respect that. However, you’re wrong if you say that no one nowadays still talks or thinks about this movie. I can personally guarantee you that, here in Italy, La vita è bella is still an incredibly beloved and celebrated film and there are a lot of people, around the world, still enjoying it today. Have a good day Brian
Jamie Lee Curtis should have gotten the Honorary Oscar and Angela Bassett should've won the competitive Oscar.
Did you actually see Wakanda Forever? That movie is a mediocre Marvel movie, not even one of the better Marvel movies. Basset is just fine in it. That does not earn an Oscar.
@@dannielleburrus6117For real. She should be glad she got nominated for a Marvel flick.
No jamie nor bassett should had been nominated. Any of the other 3 deserved it.
@@juanjean4826exactly, they were only making a big deal out of Basset s performance just cuz Chadwick died
Ted Levine in SOTL should've been nominated and won for Supporting Actor over Jack Palance in 1992.
🎶🎶"Goodbye Oscars." 🎶🎶
YES!! I SO AGREE WITH YOU!!! Ted Levine getting absolutely no nominations all award season was baffling. It takes a lot of courage and skills to portray a character so complex and sociopathic, and I think he and Brooke Smith's performances were extremely underrated. I think unfortunately due to the controversy of transphobia in TSOTL surrounding Bill and the stereotyping of LGBTQ+, it was definitely one of the biggest reasons why he wasn't nominated for anything.
What is TSOTL?
@@barbaraladouceur6305 the movie "The Silence of the Lambs"
@@ellsylala Levine was legit terrifying, amazing performance.
Thank you sooo much for complimenting Marissa Tomei's Oscar win!! It was such a great character and performance, and her courtroom scene at the end had some incredibly difficult dialogue to deliver in one stretch. She nailed it, and deserved the Oscar win.
Exactly. I heard rumors that Tomei didn't actually win, that the wrong name was read out and they just went with it. All I have to say is: if they were able to correct the winner when La-La Land was announced as the Best Picture winner when MOONLIGHT actually won, they would've done the same thing if Tomei was incorrectly announced as the winner. But they didn't do that, so that only means one thing: Tomei was the correct winner, and deservedly so.
Fernanda Montenegro was robbed.
Agree with you. Andrew Garfield hit it out of the park in Tick... Tick... Boom !!! Tommy Lee Jones deserved it for JFK, not for The Fugitive, that prize belonged to Ralph Fiennes. That night in 1999 Jim Carrey himself said HE should have been nominated instead of Benigni.
So many career wins here.. Especially Al Pacino..like Denzel winning for Training Day.. Why?
Denzel’s may not have been a career win. A lot of people forget, he’d won for Supporting Actor for GLORY in 1989. Training Day was his first Lead Actor win, but his second overall.
Al, though… yea, that was a career win. He REALLY should’ve won for Godfather Part 2. How on earth Art Carney won over him that year, I have no clue.
@@heymistercarter. I don't recall Denzel winning for Glory.. And Art screamed career win, but I don't mind career wins.. Especially when the actor is so beloved like John Wayne.. it's nice to be acknowledged so late in the game.. And knowing that chance will never come again in their career…
Denzel rightfully won for training day though
Denzel Washington for Training Day - couldn't even finish watching that film. However Malcolm X saw at least 10 times over the years - one of my favorite films ever.
Judi Dench deserves a BEST ACTRESS trophy. That was so wrong
Got one for Bullets over Broadway, no?
I actually loved Renee Zellweger in Cold Mountain. I thought she was funny and original and that the film needed her energy.
I do as well. I had less than zero expectations for Cold Mountain but it’s actually a fantastic film that’s beautifully shot
Awards aren't given based on talent but based on popularity, how much money is invested in the propaganda for the entire awards season and how gullible they are.
Mickey Rourke getting passed up for notorious overactor Sean Penn is a travesty. Tom Hanks’ milquetoast performances beating those of real actors Daniel Day-Lewis, Anthony Hopkins, Morgan Freeman and Paul Newman is sickening. Oscars awarded to Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Stone are egregious transgressions to good taste. The lack of Oscars awarded to Peter O’Toole and Alan Rickman is an embarrassment from which the Academy will never recover. Nevertheless, no award served a greater detriment to the integrity of the Oscars than Gwyneth Paltrow’s for Shakespeare in Love. 1999 was the year the Oscars died.
Ya know, the part of me that loves the hilariousness of "career Oscars" kinda wishes that Peter O'Toole would've gotten one for Supergirl. Just for fun! 😄
Al Pacino Is a NEVER bad winner.
will never be
He is the supreme actor to me.
as much as I like Pacino as an actor, his Oscar nomination for Glengarry Glen Ross should rightfully have gone to Jack Lemmon. Ironically, Lemmon's Best Actor Oscar for Save The Tiger in '73 should have gone to Pacino for Serpico.
@@MrEab2010 I totally concur with you! No comparison to "Serpico" that year.
It's ironically underrated performance from Pacino in the Sent Of A Woman even though it's his only Oscar win. The character relies on his charm and acting skills
That character would not have been memorable if Al didn't play him. He brought so much life to that role.
Finally, someone has said it that Will Smith & Jamie Lee Curtis didn't deserve their respective Oscar. Their performance as compare to other nominated actors wasn't that good.
Where is Jennifer Lawrence?
Justice for emmanuelle riva in amour
Emmanuelle Riva, and the young actress from Beasts of the Southern Wild were phenomenal that year, and either one of them should have the Oscar.
Totally agree! JL winning is another example of Harvey Weinstein's aggressive Oscar campaigning.
She is brilliant in Silver Linings but I have a bunch of MH diagnoses so I really resonated with her character and think she smashed it
i actually like the Jamie Lee Curtis supporting role win , it's very special how she projects her emotions in the different realities, good acting it's not just having more drama in your lines.
THAT
Re Jamie Lee Curtis, people in the business wanted her to win because she used her star power to promote the little indie film EEAAO on the festival circuit before wide release and was very gracious toward her costars throughout, which folks here in town really notice and appreciate.
Plus her parents. Hollyweird loyalty
So not for acting but her promoting the movie. Best promotion by a supporting actress.
Judy Dench for Shakespeare in Love was a consolation prize for sure .
I write it off to the American taste that just like over-dramatic performances, but Roberto Beningi’s performance in life is beautiful is one of my favourite Oscar wins ever. I guess as an American you cannot fully appreciate the beauty of the lighthearted humour and sadness his character brings. It does not fall into either a comedic or a tragic performance and has a beautiful balance. His charisma is something that makes this movie so captivating. And yes, it is still much loved and still much talked about.
Another one I disagree on is Al Pacino in Scent of a Woman, I believe his speech alone deserves an Oscar.
We just don’t care for actors asleep at the wheel and calling it ‘deep’
@@debbylou5729 You seem to have some personal trauma lol, that is too specific
I agree.
I liked LA Confidential but I never thought Basinger was that special in it. A number of these are, of course, career wins.
I must be in the minority. I love Basinger in LA Confidential.
@@dannielleburrus6117 You are not in the minority, I thought she deserved that win and I think Brian Rowe is wrong about that particular win, same as Tommy Lee Jones for The Fugitive.
@@dannielleburrus6117 I liked Basinger in LA Confidential but not as Academy award winner for Best Actress.
@@LJ-ht4zs it’s best supporting
She gave a beautiful performance. Yep, even a pretty girl can act.
John Wayne having an Oscar over Peter O’Toole is a travesty.
I would have loved to see Andrew Garfield win. Javier Bardem was also fabulous in Being the Ricardos.
As absolutely brilliant as Ralph Fiennes is in Schindler’s List, I’m still behind John Malkovich that year. He always blows me away and he was terrifying in that role.
Paltrow is even more annoying because apparently she stole the film’s audition information from Winona Ryder. We could have had Winona in the role. 😭
Lastly, I am forever behind Pacino in Scent of a Woman. I’m apparently one of the few who love him in that film. 😂
Gotta disagree with you. I recently saw Life is Beautiful and it’s a very moving and touching portrayal by a non american actor. Didn’t enjoy the spectacle at the oscars but then again, he is Roberto Benigni.
as a brazilian guy I think Fernanda Montenegro should have won in 1999, but I would be glad to see Cate Blanchett winning as well, one of the best actors we have since her Elizabeth’s breakthroug :)
I think a great video you should do is which Foreign Language winners should have on Best Picture instead of the actual winner
How would you have felt if Gloria Stewart had won Supporting Actress for TITANIC? Yes, I know that movie already won a bajillion Oscars and Stewart doesn't have a ton of screen time, but she is such a memorable part of that movie, and her face and narration are very haunting and a huge part of why it has such emotional resonance. It's also an accomplishment that you really believe her and Kate Winslet are playing the same character, despite them looking and sounding so different.
That's my pick too, she was the heart of the whole movie. She made the character of Old Rose so memorable and deep especially with the good iconic lines she got to say like "a woman's heart is a deep ocean of secrets" etc. She probably came close to winning as she tied the Sag award with Kim Basinger plus she was a Hollywood veteran so she did have a lot of goodwill. This would've been a career win that I don't think people would have hated. When people think of the movie, they don't just think of Jack and Rose. They also think of her and her narration and yes she and Kate Winslet were so well cast as their young and old counterparts.
Julianne Moore not winning for boogie nights is devestating!
Will Smith, the most embarrassing Oscar win of all time having nothing to do with the movie.
That really was an embarrassing moment of all time at the Academy Awards. There is no coming back from that.
Brazilians have a serious problem with Gwyneth 😂😂😂 Cate Blanchett, ok! We could understand… but Gwyneth… I mean! Fernanda is a legend, comparable to Isabelle Huppert in France, Judy Dench in UK and Meryl in Us
Sometimes the Oscars are like those Rolling Stone Magazine greatest lists: They leave you saying WTF.
I couldn't agree more!
Richard Burton should have won Best Actor for "Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf?" Plain and simple.
Ok my feelings are hurt! Scent of a Woman is one of my all time favorites, and Pacino’s performance is one of my favorites male performances, I even consider it THE BEST
The Banshees of Inisherin not getting a single Oscar Is one of the worst Oscar snubs ever
Seriously. The film as a whole is incredible. The cinematography was gorgeous, the entire cast gave their best roles if that makes sense.
Absolutely. I was hoping so much for Colin Farrell to win. He was unbelievable in that movie.
I really liked Peter O'Toole as an actor. Even late in life with films like "Troy" and "Ratatouille", he was still at the top of his game. The fact he never won an Oscar despite starring in all time classics like "Lawrence of Arabia", "The Lion in Winter", "The Last Emperor" and "Venus" is a travesty.
I agree..." The Ruling Class" was another upset loss. He was robbed!!
While I will concede that Jamie Lee Curtis’ Oscar win is probably more for her career and her riding the coattails of her movie, I would never put her on a Worst Oscar Win of All Time list. There are so many people much more deserving of that spot. It’s true, she doesn’t get to do as much as Stephanie Hsu (who really strides the line between supporting and lead) but she makes the most of what she has in the film. She was truly a supporting actress and I’m glad she finally won the Oscar.
Agreed, I actually love the win. She's such a cool actress and human being plus she's done amazing films. People have to stop acting like she has a bad filmography when it's actually very unique and is made up of various genres. She even shouted that out in her speech and acknowledged all the fans, she never forgot her roots or sold out to do an Oscar bait type movie. The fact that she won for a totally bonkers performance which stayed true to her own film career is very worth noting.
Curtis took that role and made Dierdre an actual person rather than a caricature. She packed a lot into her limited screen time - fighting, crying, deadpan comic delivery. Since she didn't have a lot of scenes, and because of her wardrobe, I remember that I was focused on her when she was on screen. Sure, it was probably a career Oscar, but there have been plenty of career Oscars for far less deserving work.
@@raymondtitano3819 Agree! It was a *SUPPORTING ROLE* and Curtis did a gr8 job. This was the one pick on this list that I don't agree with. The others, absolutely. I'd drop Curtis and throw Sandra Bullock in.
Nah it was a terrible Oscar win. It was an extended cameo and they have her an Oscar for campaigning her ass off and because of who her parents were
@@raymondtitano3819I completely agree with you.
Jamie Lee Curtis was quite fascinating in this role. Her award was not stolen.
The performance of Stephanie Hsu was astonishing, she deserved the same as Michelle Yeoh, but it can be only one queen at a time, and she has a great career ahead of her.
This movie was so refreshing and its esthetic brilliant, thanks to East Asian's creativity.
I think that every other nominee was better than Roberto Benigni, but i think it's fine he won because it was a different performance.
And I think you are wrong saying no one talks about Life is Beautiful today, maybe in the US it isn't, but in Mexico it's kind of overrated despite being so good, it's like the most famous holocaust movie in Latin America, it's always in every local channel.
Benigni winning over Ian McKellen and Edward Norton was so egregious, it's not like the win did wonders for his career anyway. I never got the hype for John Wayne, guy never really showcased that much range in his career. Personally my favorite Western movie star is war hero turned actor Audie Murphy. It is upsetting that Richard Burton and Peter O'Toole never won Oscars. At least Peter won an honorary Oscar but Richard was treated so dirty by the film industry. Same feeling about that Kim Basinger win, there were better choices like Minnie Driver for Good Will Hunting and Gloria Stuart for Titanic. To me she's more as a pretty faced actress rather than someone with range.
What about Julianne Moore for Boogie Nights the year of Good Will Hunting and Titanic?
Yes! A shame Burton and O’Toole never won. Both so good in Becket. Would’ve been cool if they tied for an Oscar, like Katherine Hepburn and Barbra Streisand did one year. Sorry can’t remember the year. Esther S.
@@BFA100 I'm not a fan of Boogie Nights but Julianne Moore wouldn't have been a bad win for sure.
@@garyschwartz6777 Yeah and I don't mind career Oscar wins as long as the actor finally wins one. Richard and Peter should've gotten that luxury. Richard's last nom was for Equus and many thought he would pull off a consolation win (he did win a Golden Globe) but he lost to another Richard. Richard Dreyfuss for The Goodbye Girl.
@@navidhudson7065 Yes, talk about an undeserved win.
Totally agree, especially the snub of Denzel in "Malcolm X." But, the Academy wasn't ready to give the award to an Af-American. His win for "Training Day" was basically "We're-sorry-we-didn't-give-the-Award-for-"Malcolm X." That was a much better performance. And, I also agree that Jim Carrey was overlooked for "The Truman Show." Great film and he was great in it.
Yes, Malcolm X was a great movie. Denzel was amazing in that role.
Love the videos, man. Keep it up!!!
I get that you feel that the other Best Actress nominees in 1998 were better or more deserving, but I disagree that Helen Hunt's performance (or her material) wasn't that good. I was a fan of hers for a long time when the film came out, starting with "Project X". One of my friends would constantly argue with me about the talent of actors, directors, and which films deserved Oscars each year. I kept trying to convince him that Helen Hunt was awesome, but after seeing "Twister" he wasn't having it. It wasn't until a year and a half later that he watched "As Good As It Gets" and finally saw in her what I saw. "You were right, man. She's great!" AGAIG was a wonderful showcase for her, and I think that the antagonism between her and Jack was entirely the point. It isn't until the end that Carol finally decides to give Melvin a chance, so there really shouldn't have been many "nice scenes" between the characters until then. And since I was already a fan of hers, I was VERY pleased that Helen's Oscar win really gave her a career boost, as she then had major roles in FOUR films in the year 2000.
I cannot forgive for putting Jamie Lee Curtis I’m so glad she has an Oscar .
And miachel keaton should have won for birdman
Emma Stone in La La Land. I hated that movie and her character. She was blah and I can't believe she now has 2 Oscars.
My vote: Katharine Hepburn for "Morning Glory" AND "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?" Neither performance can hold a candle to her work in "Alice Adams" or "The African Queen".
Agreed!
Guess Who's Coming to Dinner was a masterpiece from both Spencer and Kate. Kate toned down her performance and was mesmerising...Spencer's final speech was the best performance in film. Sidney Poitier was magnificent.
Judy Davis for Husbands and wives in 93.
I haven't seen Tick Tick Boom, but I don't have a problem with Smith winning for King Richard. But he didn't win for his actual best performance (in my eyes). I also have no problem with Tommy Lee Jones winning for The Fugitive. I think he's here because he was in an action thriller and not a "serious" drama.
TICK TICK BOOM is a must 😊
13:07 Jaw-dropping. I hadn't realized that. Wow, you are totally right. The first thing I ever saw Ralph Fiennes in was Schindler's List and that performance was so compelling it's literally hard for me not to see Goethe whenever Fiennes is on screen, even now.
Judy Garland should have won for A Star is Born, I can't count how many Oscars Bette Davis should have won, she was a far better actress than Katherine Hepburn. Angela Bassett for What's Love Got to do With It, Glenn Close The World According to Garp or Fatal Attraction, and Annette Bening The Kids are Alright
Juan Dujardin for The Artist - not Oscar worthy!
I agree about Jamie Lee Curtis! I thought it was insane that it went to her. BOTH Jamie Lee Curtis’ co-star in the same movie, Stephanie Shu AND Angela Bassett in Wakanda Forever, were both so much better than Jamie Lee Curtis was. I was frankly shaking my head that night.
As for Will Smith, he should have won for other movies he had done like Concussion and Pursuit of Happyness (and if you have not seen “Emancipation”, trust me you are missing out) but King Richard was not even close to Will Smith’s best.
TOTALLY agree about Helen Hunt in as good as it gets too!
I 100% TOTALLY agree that Roberto Benini winning over Tom Hanks in Saving Private Ryan AND Shakespeare in Love beating out Saving Private for best picture that year were suspicious at best and completely unacceptable, even this many years later! Saving Private Ryan was robbed of all the awards it rightly deserved!!
Bassett was so over the top it was ridiculous. No concept of less is more with her. She resorts to histrionics.
Angela Bassett in Wakanda Forever would have been another career win. That performance is fine but the movie was very average. Not Oscar caliber at all. Jamie was very good in a far superior movie and then you take into account her entire career and it equals a win.
I really liked Will Smith in "Enemy of the State" also liked him very much in Concussion. However, after his përformance slapping Chris Rock - lost all respect for him esp. after he was laughing at Rock's comment till he got the ëye"from his unpleasant wife.
I disagree that Curtis should not have won. She gave a terrific performance.
@@LJ-ht4zsI’m not here to discuss his behavior or actions outside of his movie roles. I am discussing his movie performances.
Robert Mitchums Max Cady in the original Cape Fear,Bette Midler in The Rose, James Cagney in The Roaring Twenties, Frank Sinatra in the Manchurian Candidate, Richard Burton in Becket...so many great performances overlooked
John Wayne should have been nominated for "The Searchers"
Michelle pfeiffer for fabulous baker boys 1989 over Jessica Tandy. She should have won.
I agree
I'll DIE on this hill.
Linda Blair should have won for THE EXORCIST and Tatum O'Neal should have won for LEAD actress. Tatum is in 1h.and 7 minutes of that film. The movie's running time is 1h and 42 minutes. How is THAT a supporting role??
You are so damn right about Pam Grier just take Helen Hunt out of it entirely
And I say that as someone who loves As Good As It Gets
I quit watching when Gwineth Paltrow won. Ay dios mio I could not believe she beat Fernanda Montenegro in Central Station which was a powerful performance and movie.
you could do this format but with Best Picture Oscar wins!
I think, personal bias against Will Smith or not, you can't deny that the man was going to win an Oscar somewhere. I'm glad he finally got one for a film that felt like a representation of what he holds close
Garfield is going to win eventually regardless. He's too talented to not get an Oscar and he's a fair bit younger
Shame that fiasco completely nullified Will's win.. Still wonder what the f*** was he thinking that night… decades, he waited for that moment to only bitch slap Chris on international television for a woman he was supposedly separated from at the time..😵💫
I disagree. You SAY Garfield will win...but as he said, Peter O'Toole & Richard Burton did not win!
But look at the quality of work in King Richard versus tick, tick…Boom.
Garfield does a LOT more work, has a much larger range, even had to perform some very intricate musical numbers. Smith is just in your standard “be inspired” sports bio-pic.
@@patrickchappell5821 I like to be optimistic and believe that humanity learns from its mistakes
@@flmbyzAGREE Andrew BLEW ME AWAY with his work in Tick Tick Boom….Smith was good in King Richard but nothing special/memorable. 🤷🏻♂️
Jamie winning an Oscar for everything everywhere all at once just screams participation trophy
That Jamie Lee Curtis win should never have happened. Should have been Angela Bassett or Stephanie Shu
Worst:
Tommy Lee Jones - should have gone to Ralph Fiennes for Schindler’s List (who still hasn’t won!)
Jamie Lee Curtis - EEAAO - should have gone to Kerry Condon for Banshees. Career Award.
Helen Hunt - As Good As It Gets - should have gone to Kate Winslet for Titanic. or Helena Bonham Carter for Wings of the Dove (who still hasn’t won!)
Kim Bassinger - LA Confidential - should have gone to Joan Cusack (as she still hasn’t won). mediocre actress.
Gwyneth Paltrow - Shakespeare In Love - should have gone to Emily Watson (as she still hasn’t won). mediocre actress.
Roberto Benigni - bad actor. Should have gone to Ian McKellen for Gods and Monsters (who still hasn’t won!)
Burton and Peter O’Toole should have won Oscars!
Will Smith - King Richard 👋 - should have gone to Andrew Garfield for Tick Tick Boom!
Where is: Brendan Fraser - The Whale - should have gone to Colin Farrell for Banshees!
I doubt Ian McKellen is getting one at this point but Christopher Plummer was also really old when he won so who the hell knows 🤷♂️
Fiennes has early buzz for a movie called Conclave, we’ll see how that goes
I also don't like Kim Basinger's performance in L.A. Confidential.
I don't know much about movies, but it was just deeply disappointing that Austin Butler didn't win his Oscar for Elvis. Everybody can get a fat suit and play gay guy, but not anybody can play and sing like Elvis. Just my opinion.
Can you do a video about Marisa Tomei’s win?
I agree. I love Marisa Tomei! My Cousin Vinny is one of my favorite movies.
@@dannielleburrus6117 She deserved that Oscar win!
