Inspired by Kate Winslet’s Oscar win for THE READER, Chicago Tribune columnist Mark Caro lists other examples of “Right Oscar, Wrong Movie,” including these…
Martin Scorsese won for THE DEPARTED, but should’ve won for TAXI DRIVER, RAGING BULL or GOODFELLAS
Paul Newman won for THE COLOR OF MONEY, but should’ve won for THE HUSTLER, HUD or THE VERDICT
Sydney Pollack won for directing OUT OF AFRICA, but should’ve won for TOOTSIE.
He’s dead-on about Pacino’s win for SCENT OF A WOMAN being a joke. All that “hoo hah” is the most embarrassing thing he’s ever done. No Oscars for either GODFATHER movie or DOG DAY AFTERNOON? That’s what Al should have won the statue for.
