The Weirdest Best Picture Wins and Best Picture Nominations

Good movie but Dances with Wolves over Goodfellas?!?

I have to say that not all Best Picture winners are deserving or deserved to be nominated but a few were good and appreciated but not deserved to be in the top 5 or top 10 of nominated films. However,  people have an affection or admire them as I have admired some that I will address but I don't consider a classic. The only question is do you remember the movies 5 or 10 years later? Well...just speak for yourself.

First: here are the 6 weirdest Best Picture wins and the movie I would have voted for:

Best Picture (2005): Crash

Should have won: Brokeback Mountain

Best Picture (1998): Shakespeare in Love

Should have won: SAVING PRIVATE RYAN

Best Picture (1996): The English Patient

Should have won: Fargo

Best Picture (1990): Dances with Wolves

Should have won: GoodFellas

Best Picture (1985): Out of Africa

Should have won: The Color Purple

Best Picture (1980): Ordinary People

Should have won: Raging Bull

The 5 WEIRDEST Best Picture Nominations...

Best Picture Nomination: Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close (2011) (I hated this movie.)

Best Picture Nomination: The Reader (2008) (I didn't like this movie over Revolutionary Road.)

Should've nominated for Best Picture: The Dark Knight

Best Picture Nomination: The Cider House Rules (1999)

Should've been nominated for Best Picture: Being John Malkovich or Mulholland Drive or Fight Club

Best Picture Nomination: Babe (1995) (It's a charming and good movie, best Best Picture?)

Best Picture Nomination: Fatal Attraction (1987) (Glenn Close was hot but scary in the movie but the movie was too over-hyped.)

Should've been nominated: Good Morning Vietnam

Comment what you think the movie that should not have been nominated or win in the past.
