A Beautiful Mind
Nobody claims Ron Howard isn’t one of the company’s best directors. He’s extremely reliable, and while his film A Beautiful Mind was good, it didn’t win the 2002 Best Picture Award OR Best Director Award. Sorry, Ronny, but David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive was also nominated for Best Picture, and Lynch for Best Director. He would have been a much smarter choice, and it would have honored one of the Academy’s best filmmakers continually snubbed.

Tom Hanks
Tom Hanks took home some Academy awards for Philadelphia movie in 1993, and then again for Forrest Gump in’ 94. Some people say he stole the much deserved gold hardware from John Travolta in Pulp Fiction and Morgan Freeman in Shawshank Redemption. Forrest Gump was a big success, but it’s hard to look at those other two performances and believe he would have run away with the Best Actor trophy. Some of Hanks’ biggest fans agree.
