John Ford
It is one of the oldest additions to the list, one of the most significant errors in the Oscars. In the 30s and 40s, John Ford was an acclaimed director, and in the year Orson Welles pulled out Citizen Kane in How Green Was My Valley he was Oscar. Also, if you think Citizen Kane is an over-valued film, you can’t argue that it’s one of the best movies ever.

Christopher Plummer
It is an excellent scenario if you want to highlight the academy’s ridiculousness and some of its actions, Christopher Plummer is a talented director, but received an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in Beginners’ 2010. His performance was excellent, but he was the lead actor. For the entire movie, he was mostly the on show. There seemed to be no point in putting him in the category of “supporting actor.”
