A great movie that wasn’t nominated for an Oscar

Every year we put a lot of effort into the Oscars. who will win?Who should do it win? who was snubbed? Who gave the best speech? This is almost five months in a row, non-stop.

But can you mentally name last year’s Best Picture winner? moonlight For some crazy wrong-envelope carfuffle. 2020 Best Picture Award? What about the year before that? (it was coda When NomadlandI didn’t remember, so I looked it up. )

Oscars are fun. Of course, it’s important for many reasons. But they don’t guarantee the film’s immortality. Many of the best-known and most-loved films of all time have never won him an Academy Award ( Dr. Strangelove, it’s a wonderful life, Taxi driver, do the right thing, dizzyWhen In the Shawshank Redemption). And then there are the classics that didn’t even deserve a single nomination.The twelve films below are all classics in their respective genres. Some of them have been monitored for almost a century. And no one has been nominated for a single Oscar.So don’t worry, fans of great movies No It will almost certainly be ignored by the Academy this year. Experts may speak of Oscar as a race. But from a macro perspective, they are just the beginning of a much longer journey.
