My Top 10 Biggest Best Picture Oscar Snubs of All-Time

        Throughout the 87 years (this year's Oscars haven't happened yet) of The Oscars there have been some amazing films that have often been awarded or have been nominated for with the Best Picture Oscar. However there have been some films that have come along and surprisingly didn't get the nomination for Best Picture that it deserved. With that being said I'm going to bring you my top 10 biggest best picture snubs of all-time as well as the film it should've replaced in that particular year. So without further ado...





10. Almost Famous at the 73rd Academy Awards (Chocolat)

9. The Lion King at the 67th Academy Awards (replace Forrest Gump)
In an African savannah, several animals stare at a lion atop a tall rock. A lion's head can be seen in the clouds above. Atop the image is the text "Walt Disney Pictures presents The Lion King".





8. Toy Story at the 68th Academy Awards (replace Sense and Sensibility)

Below them sitting on a bed are various smiling toys watching the pair, including Mr. Potato Head, Hamm, and Rex. In the lower right center of the image is the film's title. The background shows the cloud wallpaper featured in the bedroom.

A painted image of four space-suited astronauts standing next to a piece of equipment atop a Lunar hill, in the distance is a Lunar base and a ball-shaped spacecraft descending toward it—with the earth hanging in a black sky in the background. Above the image appears "An epic drama of adventure and exploration" in blue block letters against a white background. Below the image in a black band, the title "2001: a space odyssey" appears in yellow block letters.
