ITT: Biggest oscar robberies
>Interstellar loosing best soundtrack to the Grand Budapest Hotel.
I mean come on, the soundtrack of the movie was one of the most creative and memorable works of Hans Zimmer.
Interstellars soundtrack was dull. Hans Zimmer phoned it in. You need to listen to more classical music

>John Powell's How to Train Your Dragon score losing to The Social Network
I don't give a shit what other film geeks say, to me this was an utter travesty.
Made me especially happy that Fincher lost the Oscar to Hooper.
>The Social Network losing Best Picture to The Meme's Speech
>How to Train Your Dragon losing Best Score to The Social Network
>Leonardo Dicaprio even being nominated for The Revenant, let alone winning
>2016
>caring about the Oscars
get over yourself
>>70745601
Also
>Big Hero 6 winning Best Animated Feature in a year we were given...
>Song of the Sea
>The Tale of the Princess Kaguya
>How to Train Your Dragon 2
>an un-nominated Lego Movie
Also
>Brave beating Wreck-it-Ralph
>Frozen beating The Wind Rises
Really you can just pick any of the recent Best Animated Feature winners and you'd have a legitimate case here.
I have to admit that the Interstellar OST is quite good, works very well with the movie
>>70746358
This.
Though desu I wasn't too upset. I felt like it should have won, but Desplat's Budapest score was great as well AND he was WAY overdue.
Zimmer will win another one soon -- possibly Dunkirk.
>>70746352
>Lego Movie not nominated because of that fucking live action part
Im still mad.
>>70746352
Wasnt it proven that alot of people voting hadnt even watched the movies?
>>70745601
Yes, Hans Zimmer's outsourced, emotionally manipulative score deserved Best OST lmao.
>>70746352
>Brave beating Wreck-it-Ralph
I'm still salty over this one.
>didn't even get a nomination
>>70746253
>>70746310
Fucking this on The Social Network beating Dragon for best score. What a fucking joke.
>>70746432
>implying emotionally manipulative doesn't usually net the Oscar
Then how does Pixar, the kings of emotional manipulation, win almost every year it's nominated?
Interstellar had a forgettable score. Hans Zimmer hasn't written anything worth mentioning in a long time
>>70745601
>whiplash loss
>leo winning for one of his worst roles ever
>the messenger not getting nom for bp
>kings speech winning
>shakespeare in love
>social network not winning
i could go on but im just naming stuff i remember that irked me. i usually dont worry much outside the big 4 categories
Crash
Chicago
Spotlight
Penelope Cruz
Marisa Tomei
Harvey Milk
Shakespeare in Love
>>70746469
Brand recognition. The Academy doesn't give a shit about animation. Just slap a Disney or Pixar label on your movies and you're practically guaranteed to win. It's honestly the only explanation for that trash flick Big Hero 6 winning.
>>70745601
Oh yeah what about...
>The Tree of Life losing Best Cinematography to Hugo
Lubezki, the Oscar King, lost for arguably his best work.
>>70746507
>Harvey Milk
Pleb opinion, fàm. Sean Penn killed that role.
>>70746469
Does that make it deserving then?
Also, the animation categories have notorious issues. Voters are out of touch and don't even bother watching all the nominees. They just vote for the usual Pixar trash.
>>70746507
>Sean Penn won over Mickey Rourke in The Wrestler.
>>70746508
This.
>>70746521
>vomit.jpg
That's disgusting.
Benoit Debie and Christopher Doyle deserved wins for Spring Breakers and Fallen Angels/In the Mood for Love.
>>70746476
This, neither has John Williams
>>70746521
>dude artsy shots and landscapes lmao
Lubezky is a hack and Hugo legitimately had better cinematography.
>>70746554
Your opinion is shit. Just thought I'd let you know
>>70746536
Christopher Doyle is on of my favorites kinophotographers and had an amazing life.
>>70745601
>hans zimmer
>best soundtrack
>>70745601
Can other anons tell me how much of a screw up the following was:
>Ingmar Bergman losing for his work on Fanny and Alexander... to James L. Brooks for Terms of Endearment.
Haven't seen Endearment yet, but I loved 'Fanny" and wouldn't be surprised if the Oscars fucked up royally that year.
>>70746253
HTTYD's score was fucking beautiful, it's funny all of dreamworks recent scores have been excellent, the whole Kung Fu Panda series' score is just gorgeous.
Shakespeare in Love winning over The Thin Red Line
Ordinary People over Raging Bull
>>70746644
Based Powell
Sad thing is you know for a fact had HTTYD been a Disney or Pixar film he would have won that Oscar in 2010.
>>70746571
Doyle on:
Life of Pi
>I think it’s a fucking insult to cinematography."
The Academy
>Of course they have no fucking idea what cinematography is
The state of cinema
>you say Spielberg and Tarantino are the gods of cinema. Hey, good luck.
On Spielberg's Lincoln
>the most disgusting first three minutes of a film I’ve ever seen
ABSOLUTELY BASED
>>70746653
>70746653
Apocalypse now didn't win BP...
>>70746536
They should honestly just get rid of the animated film Oscar altogether if noone is going to give a shit about it.
>>70746507
>Crash
Even if I think Brokeback is overrated as fuck... Crash is legitimately a bad film.
Capote was great though, would have been more deserving than either in my opinion.
>>70746671
Yeah basically, I don't think Dreamworks gets enough credit for the massive jump in quality of their films over the last few years.
>>70745601
Are you serious?
>>70746682
But they won't because Disney won't let them stop giving them their little freebie Oscar.
All That Jazz losing to fucking Kramer vs Kramer
>>70746719
Exactly it is just fucking stupid, legitametly excellent animated films that would really get a boost having an oscar aren't even given a chance. it's like this year with Anomalisa being in the same category as a load of kids films, people even admitted they didn't even watch half of them and Just Picked Inside Out.
Can't top this one
>>70746763
>>70746756
>Inside Out
FUCK THAT FILM. FUCK ZOOTOPIA SHIT TOO. AWFUL.
>>70745601
I actually own the GB soundtrack.
It's phenomenal, especially for long car trips.
>>70746782
IMO it isn't even that they are bad, it's just having inside out in the same category as Anomalisa is just strange, what is there even to compare there? I actually thought Inside Out was OK (overrated but nice) and really liked Zootopia but the category is just odd.
>>70746469
>the academy
>giving a shit about animation
Same reason why amazing films like Ernest & Celestine or Princess Kaguya miss out on recognition. The only year the Academy's heads were out of their asses in the animation department was the year Rango won.
>Walt Disney hated how animation wasnt taken seriously and considered a childrens medium
>Disney movies win Oscars every year because no one take animation seriously and the voters vote on brand recognition and what their kids liked/watched
There is some kinda joke here
>>70745601
Have you even heard Grand Budapest's soundtrack? Its fucking incredible.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tE6_awNDFbY
>>70746763
A lot of people forget that Cabaret won more Oscars than the Godfather
>>70746756
>Anomalisa
i dont like inside out too much, but anomalisa was shit as well. its a 10 minute idea at best stretched way too long. and holy fuck that sex scene was more awkward than real sex.
>>70747203
Best sex scene of the past 30 years you fucking pleb
>>70747203
I didn't like Anomalisa too much but I thought it had one of the most realistic sex scenes I've ever seen
>>70747553
My argument initially wasn't even necessarily on that Anomalisa was better but that there is no basis of comparison between that and Inside Out especially when no one cares about the category anyway.
>>70746432
The way "emotional manipulation" gets thrown around here is fucking ridiculous. We are talking about movies. It's literally what movies are supposed to do.
>>70748336
Yeah but it can feel somewhat naturalistic and interesting or forced and cliche and over the top.
>>70746507
tomei was divine in that movie and elevated her role beyond caricature.
rosamund pike losing to someone who got nominated for the wrong movie
>>70746507
>Chicago
Fuck you. Fuuuuuuck you.
