Ryan — Mon, 05 Mar 2018 17:12:53 +0000

This year's Oscars carried a more progressive and satisfactory tone with many wins for overdue talent and for more unlikely candidates. New genres of film received recognition and there were a few underdogs that won as well. As with many awards shows, not everyone will be satisfied with the results, but with that said here are the winners below with a few of my thoughts.

5 Biggest Oscars Upsets (Nominated But Lost)

Eric — Fri, 03 Mar 2017 22:13:43 +0000

How about that Oscars night huh? ICYMI they announced La La Land as winner for Best Picture to only then reveal it was a mistake and Moonlight actually won. I'll bet there are some who can think of cases where they WISHED that happened. You may remember last year I did a list about the Biggest Oscar Snubs well I'm back with another about the biggest upsets. It's true it is just an honor just to be nominated however when you're beaten by something that was inferior it can be just crazy. Now there are many classic examples you may notice aren't on this list like “Forrest Gump” beating “Pulp Fiction” and “Shawshank Redemption” or “Driving Miss Daisy” beating “Do The Right Thing” etc. well they're not here because honestly I agree with the Academy's decision. Or examples like Eddie Redmayne beating Michael Keaton which is not here because I still haven' seen “The Theory of Everything” so it's not fair for me to compare. I will keep an open mind and give it a fair chance for when I eventually do see it. With all that out of the way let's begin.

As has been noticed by… everyone, most of the major nominations are all white. Oscar host Chris Rock has already gotten good use out of it for comedic posts on twitter while other Hollywood figures such as Spike Lee, Jada Pinkett Smith and husband Will Smith have announced that they will be boycotting the event. In response the Oscars have decided to make some changes to make sure more women and people of color can get nominated.
