19 Brilliant Films That Should Have Won Best Picture at the Oscars (Independent.Co.UK )

"It's easy to get caught up in awards season excitement as the Oscars approach – the glitz and glamour of the red carpet generating global talking points, memes and pub chatter for weeks on end. But when it's really broken down, the Oscars are essentially just a microcosm of Hollywood. It's a depressing fact that films directed by previous winners have more chance of being nominated than those directed by newcomers. Because of this, the best film in any given year almost never wins the evening's most coveted prize – in fact, it's sometimes not even nominated in the first place. Over the decades, there have been countless glaring omissions – films that were nominated but were beaten by far inferior films and classic films that failed to secure a single nomination. We've run through 19 brilliant films that would have been deserving Best Picture winners." - independent.co.uk
