[KjartanAndersen]

Some years there are many excellent movies that should have gotten the Oscar. And other years the winner would never beat one of these. If someone made a list over the 100 best movies, I bet several of the non-Oscar movies would end up on the list.

[GreenShorts]

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly didnt get a single Oscar nomination. I don't know why I can't get over this, I only watched the film a few months ago

[tomrice]

In 1927/28, there were two Best Picture categories - Best Production, won by WINGS and Best Artist Quality of Production, which was won by SUNRISE.

[matiaspereira]

Those are the 27 movies that won Best Picture without winning Best Director:

[roberttaylor]

The 90’s absolutely banged for movies. Year after year of epicness

[matiaspereira]

Fun fact: only 27 movies won Best Picture without winning Best Director. Of the 95 movies that won Best Picture, 68 of them also won Best Director. Also of the 27 movies that won Best Picture without winning Best Director, 21 of them were nominated for Best Director but didn't win and 6 of them weren't nominated (Wings in 1929, Grand Hotel in 1933, Driving Mrs Daisy in 1990, Argo in 2013, Green Book in 2019 and CODA in 2022)

[redred]

This is amazing. I love all your compilations.

[robertmarginean]

18. The Bridge on the River Kwai

16. Ben-Hur
15. Platoon
14. Rain Man
13. Casablanca

11. Lawrence of Arabia
10. The Best Years of Our Lives
9. Gone With the Wind
8. No Country for Old Men
7. The Apartment
6. Rebecca
5. All About Eve
4. The Silence of the Lambs
3. The Godfather
2. Amadeus (director's cut)
1. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (extended edition)

[raymondgallardo]

5:20 I think you made an error there: Rossen didn't win Best Director but Broderick Crawford did for Best Actor in a Leading Role. Thanks for understanding!

[magnuswiesener]

I don't think the Return of the King scene even is in the theatrical cut, which is the one that actually won the award.

[factualca]

And 1967 should’ve been the good the bad and the ugly !

[still-standingrunner]

Schindler's List will always be the best one

[quanphamnguyenminh]

I have watched Driving Miss Daisy for 3 times, every time I watch again then I feel like the first time I enjoy it, peaceful, warming and full of emotions!❤

[matiaspereira]

Fun fact: only 32 movies won Best Picture without winning Best Screenplay (either Original, Adapted or now retired Best Story). Of the 95 movies that won Best Picture, 63 of them won either of the 3 Best Screenplay awards. Also of the 32 movies that won Best Picture without winning Best Screenplay, 25 of them were nominated but didn't win and 7 of them weren't nominated (Wings in 1929, The Broadway Melody in 1930, Grand Hotel in 1932, Cavalcade in 1934, Hamlet in 1949, The Sound of Music in 1966 and Titanic in 1997)

This time I had to figure it out reading all pages of all Oscar ceremonies ever because on Wikipedia it didn't actually say how many movies won Best Picture and Best Screenplay. However I did already know how many movies won Best Picture without being nominated for Best Screenplay though

[felixpetterssoncastillo]

A lot of wonderful winners, and nominees aswell. I can't get over the one from 2002 however. I mean, Chicago was a good film i can't argue that, but Gangs of New York, LOTR The Two Towers AND The Pianist? Damn those are all way way better than Chicago.

[javiausten]

The shape of water is beautiful, but Call me by your name is so much better for so many reasons...The triumph that represents at so many levels should have been rewarded, and is pure art

[AudreyC]

Great video and it would be awesome to see it or a similar video in 2027 during the 100th Oscars anniversary. (I'm just excited for the 100th anniversary 😊)

That aside, my favorites are these as of this writing:

Kramer vs Kramer (1979)
Forrest Gump (1994)
Titanic (1997, easily my favorite)
Platoon (1987)

[Red.Butterfly]

Crash winning Best Picture is still a mystery to me

[zhyanzotakujugador]

Casualmente estoy haciendo un vistazo a las películas ganadores y nominadas al Oscar para verlas y mi lista comenzó con Ls vuelta al mundo en 80 días (1956)

[tiburciorb]

Miras a la derecha la lista de los nominados de 1998 y no entiendes como diablos gano Shakespeare In Love.
