Saving Private Ryan should have won instead of Shakespeare in Love. Who even talks about that one?

Pulp Fiction OR The Shawshank Redemption would have been better than Forrest Gump.

Nothing against Dances With Wolves, but how exactly does it beat Goodfellas?

Lawrence of Arabia or To Kill a Mockingbird? Touch choice.

Brokeback Mountain instead of Crash.

Nothing against Rocky {nor fans of the Rocky series because I'm a fan of the series myself}, but how was it more worthy of a Best Picture win instead of Taxi Driver?

Even though Argo was a great movie, I think Lincoln or Life Of Pi should have won in 2012.

The Fighter would have been better than The King's Speech or The Social Network, even though all three rightfully deserved their wins in their respective categories in 2010.

The Fighter
Best Supporting Actor: Christian Bale
Best Supporting Actress: Melissa Leo

The King's Speech
Best Actor: Colin Firth
Best Original Screenplay: David Seidler

The Social Network
Best Adapted Screenplay: Aaron Sorkin
Best Original Score: Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross

Perhaps The Usual Suspects, Good Wil Hunting, or Whiplash

The Pianist

Literally any of the nominees at the 2011 Oscars

Henry V in 1989. I would have at least given it a nomination.
