Awards season is over. Argo took home many of the top prizes, including the Academy Award for Best Picture. Argo was an excellent film and certainly a deserving winner. But over the years since the Academy Awards' inception there have been many deserving films that did not win the top prize. In some cases it was a surprise snub, in other cases, the winner did not stand the test of time while its contemporaries did. In this feature, we will highlight 85 films (one for every year the Oscars have been around) that did not win Best Picture. This list is not meant to point out that these films should have beaten the actual winner (at least not in every case, anyway) however, it is meant to show that there are many cinematic classics that have never won, or even been nominated, for the Best Picture award. We present that list to you in chronological order:
