Saving Private Ryan lost Best Picture

Shakespeare in love may be a good film, but holy cow, Steven Spielberg's war epic movie deserved the Oscar film way more.

Shakespeare in Love wasn't that great.

Saving Private Ryan would have been a deserving winner. Shakespeare in Love shouldn't have even been nominated for best picture, in my opinion. There were several other films that year that were better than Shakespeare in Love.

Nobody even remembers Shakespeare in Love, let alone mention it as part of their favorite films. I don't understand the Academy and the way they vote sometimes. Saving Private Ryan was absolutely robbed and it's still frustrating that it lost.

The Thin Red Line was better than both. Eternity and a Day too.

i love both and platoon

I'm thinking of films that could have been up for awards in 1999 though. The Thin red Line is criminally underrated.

Every time this question comes up, it reminds me that I need to revisit The Thin Red Line.
