Oscars 1994: What should've happened...

If you read a list of the best Best Picture winners in order, you probably would find Forrest Gump  near the bottom, just ahead of Chicago, Dances with Wolves, and Ordinary People. Lots of people say that either The Shawshank Redemption (my 3rd favorite movie. EVER.) and Pulp Fiction should've won.


What won:
Best Picture: Forrest Gump
Best Director: Robert Zemeckis (Forrest Gump)
Best Actor: Tom Hanks (Forrest Gump)
Best Original Screenplay: Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avary (Pulp Fiction)

What really irked me was that The Shawshank Redemption didn't win anything. (After all, it wasn't that big of a hit when it came out.) Instead, I made a list of what should've won...

What Should've Won:
Best Picture: The Shawshank Redemption
Best Director: Frank Darabont* (The Shawshank Redemption)
Best Actor: Tom Hanks (Forrest Gump) OR Tim Robbins* (The Shawshank Redemption)
Best Original Screenplay: Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avary (Pulp Fiction)
*Wasn't even nominated!!
