Well obviously not everyone agrees on the Academys decisions sometimes. What do you think are a few cases where someone REALLY deserved an Oscar but it was awarded to someone else....
1994 Best supporting actor: Samuel L. Jackson(Pulp Fiction)
1995 Best supporting actor: Patrick Mcgoohan(Braveheart)
He lost to Kevin Spacey which I can live with, but if you ask me Spacey was a lead in The Usual Suspects
1996 Best actor: Billy Bob Thornton(Sling Blade)
1998 Best actor: Al Pacino(Donnie Brasco)
Pacino at his best, while he played a gangster again, he plays a totally different role than usual. He's much more weak and vulnerable than usual, he seems more real.
1999 Best supporting actress Thora Birch(American Beauty)
Best supporting actor: Chris Cooper(American Beauty)
There were a few good movies in '99, but none even close to American Beauty
2002 Best actor: Daniel Day-Lewis(Gangs of New York)
Best Director: Martin Scorsese(Gangs of New York)
Lewis has long since deserved one since Last of the Mohicans, and come on even though I think Sam Mendes would be a good choice Scorsese definetly deserves a little gold statue.
Ok so I'm a little biased...
