Here are ten of our favorite films which were nominated for Best Picture, but didn't win the Academy Award. While researching this, I found out that the late Robert Altman's cinematic masterpiece "The Player" (1992) wasn't even nominated for Best Picture, though the second best film of that year "Unforgiven" (dir. Clint Eastwood) did win that award. Alas, "Unforgiven" doesn't make the cut.
Here we go:
1) Citizen Kane (1941)
2) Dr. Strangelove (1965)
3) The Graduate (1967, see top image)
4) Chinatown (1974)
5) Raging Bull (1980, see middle image)
6) Apocalypse Now! (1979, see bottom image)
7) A Clockwork Orange (1971)
8) The Grapes of Wrath (1940)
9) Sunset Boulevard (1950)
10) Bonnie and Clyde (1967)
