You can "fix" one Oscar snub: what is it?

If you could go back in time and rectify one Oscar snub (or, if you'd rather, simply take one away from someone who you think didn't deserve it), what would it be?

Recently Joaquin Phoenix for The Master. Overall maybe give Scorsese his Best Director Oscar for something more deserving, like Taxi Driver, Goodfellas or Raging Bull.

i always thought leonardo desvered a supporting actor oscar for his performance in "whats eating Gilbert Grape" in 1993 but i havent seen the movie Tommy Lee Jones won for so i cant really say.
Ralph Fiennes was also amazing that year in schindlers list.

Shakespeare in Love

Suspect's Reviews

I'm pretty sure my answer is obvious.

That's what came to my mind first. Leo for What's Eating Gilbert Grape.

Not to me, but I assume it's Joaquin Phoenix for Gladiator or something.

Brokeback Mountain for Best Picture instead of Crash.

Or anything else he was nominated for or should have been nominated for.

I have a plethora of these, but if I had to pick one, I would go back to the 1955 ceremony and take the award for Best Actress that Grace Kelly won and give it to Judy Garland for A Star is Born.

Gena Rowlands for Best Actress in 1974..

You beat me to it.

Saving Private Ryan was robbed by Harvey Weinsteins obnoxiously large publicity campaign heading to the oscars.

Scorsese NOT being nominated for best director in Taxi Driver. Then I would give it to him.

I know I am biased. I don't care.

My 2nd correction.

Id also take the Best Picture Oscar from "Spotlight" and give it to "The Revenant"

Phoenix was the best thing about Gladiator.

I remember being so glad when the girl I was with suggested we go home after 20 minutes.

1987: Best Makeup
Winner: Harry And The Hendersons - Harry Baker
Happy New Year - Bob Laden


RoboCop wasn't even a nomination. It was in the Editing cat and Best Sound, but not for the Makeup.




It was snubbed in the Best Costume Design as well.


I'd give Best Costume Design and Best Makeup to Rob Bottin for RoboCop.
