- Alfred Hitchcock. The Master of Suspense never won, despite Best Director nominations for his work on Rebecca (1940), Lifeboat (1944), Spellbound (1945), Rear Window (1954) and Psycho (1960).
- E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. Forty years after its release, Steven Spielberg’s wondrous story of a boy and his space-alien friend can still make your heart soar.
- Glenn Close. She’s hardly a loser, but Close, 75, holds the record for the actress with the most Oscar nods who’s never won, with eight. “She’s done some edgy work, and that edginess may have kept her from making it over the threshold with the Academy,” Isenberg suggests.
- The Shawshank Redemption. How can the Academy be so…obtuse?! Just about everyone’s favorite prison drama landed seven nominations in 1995, including for Best Picture and honors for Morgan Freeman in the Best Actor category.
Mar 1, 2022 · Paramount Pictures/DreamWorks. One of the most notable Best Picture snubs occurred in 1999 at the 71 st Academy Awards, where "Shakespeare in Love" and "Saving Private Ryan" went head-to-head ...
- 1928: Conrad Veidt, ‘The Man Who Laughs” This U.S. silent film, from German director Paul Leni, was not a hit, because some thought the Victor Hugo story was too strange.
- 1931: Boris Karloff, “Frankenstein” The adaptation of Mary Shelley’s novel changed the character (and the look) of the Frankenstein creature. Boris Karloff’s performance is a major factor in why the film has endured as a classic for 90 years: He’s scary, dangerous, confused, and ultimately heartbreaking.
- 1933: “King Kong” The film was a sensation when it opened. Audiences loved it, but Academy voters didn’t. Still, the giant ape standing atop the Empire State Building (which had been built only two years earlier) has become one of Hollywood’s most enduring images, immediately recognizable for decades around the world.
- 1939: “The Wizard Of Oz” Does anyone really need an explanation of why this deserves every possible award? The film opened the same year as “Gone With the Wind,” which swept the Academy Awards.
