Oscar night is this Sunday, and while you can take comfort in knowing that NORBIT got nominated for an Acadamy Award (I’m not even making this up…they’re nominated for best makeup artist!), some of the greatest films of all time were actually snubbed altogether by the Acadamy.  Here’s a look at a few of those films that were left out in the cold:

1971: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
1975: Monty Python and the Holy Grail

1977: Close Encounters of the Third Kind

1978: Superman: The Movie, Animal House
1979: Alien
1980: The Empire Strikes Back, The Shining
1983: Scarface
1984: The Natural
1985: Back to the Future
1986: Top Gun
1989: Glory, Batman
1991: Hook, Fried Green Tomatoes
1992: The Last of the Mohicans
1993: Tombstone
1994: Legends of the Fall
1995: The Usual Suspects, Toy Story, Casino
1996: Primal Fear
1997: Amistad
1999: Toy Story 2, The Matrix, Fight Club

2000: The Patriot
2001: Training Day, Black Hawk Down
2002: The Bourne Identity
2003: Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl

2004: Collateral
2007: Gone Baby Gone

Also, you can sleep at night knowing that someone like Jennifer Hudson got an Oscar for her first film performance, but Alfred Hitchcock never won!  Kinda makes you wonder, who is this Oscar person, anyway?
