The Shawshank Redemption (which is considered by many as the best movie *ever*) will forever be the example of the greatest failure of the movie industry to acknowledge talent.

It should be noted, though, that it had to compete with Forrest Gump at the Oscars. Had Forrest Gump been released a year earlier or later, The Shawshank Redemption may have received the glory it deserved at the Academy Awards.

It was unfortunate that 2 of the best movies of all time had to compete against each other in the same year.

Not to mention, it was based on the novella by Stephen King, who Peter Griffin calls "The greatest writer of the past thousand years!"

Nebraska and The Wolf of Wall Street. Both nominated multiple times like American Hustle, but no wins.

Toy Story 1 and 2. Both got nominated a couple of times, but the Best Animated Feature category didn't exist yet, which Toy Story 3 got.

IMO, both Nebraska and The Wolf Of Wall Street hardly had a chance at winning at least one Oscar with such movies as 12 Years A Slave, Gravity, and American Hustle in the way. Both Nebraska and The Wolf Of Wall Street were great movies, IMO.

I remember the controversy when Hoop Dreams was not nominated for Best Documentary.

I kinda lost faith in the Academy Awards immediately after Julia Roberts won Best Actress over Ellen Burstyn's perfect performance in Requiem for a Dream. That truly cemented that the Oscars are nothing more than a popularity contest amonst the Hollywood elite.
