I am starting this thread to express my opinion on the Top THREE Movies / People Who I dont think Deserved the Oscar:
3) SILENCE OF THE LAMBS "Best Picture" 1991: The Oscar should have most certainly gone to BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, though a good movie has not stood the test of time well and comes nowhere near the elegance of BEAUTY AND THE BEAST.
2) THE FULL MONTY "Best Musical Score" 1997: An Oscar to ANNE DUDLEY for such a Terrible Score?????? As a music fan, I felt ashamed of the Oscars. This Award should right fully have gone to DAVID NEWMAN for ANASTASIA.
1) GWYNETH PALTROW “Best Actress” 1998: I have nothing against Miss PALTROW. She is a pretty face. Her performance in SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE was good but nowhere near the captivating performance by CATE BLANCHET in ELIZABETH. BLANCHET'S was a once in a lifetime performance I shall never forget. PALTROW robbed CATE of her Oscar.
While I will admit Beauty and the Beast is one of Disney's best works, Silence of the Lambs is almost impossible to top. Jodie Foster completely makes the movie. And she wasn't even supposed to have that role. I forgot who the actress was but I think she was pregnant and turned down the role.
As for undeserving, ladies and gentlemen, let me present the #1 of all time. If it weren't for the Academy wanting a complete sweep for Titanic across the boards, there's no way on earth that it had better visual effects than Starship Troopers, end of story.
"Silence of the Lambs", in addition to being one of the most important ctime thrillers of all time, is indeed hard to top. "Beauty and the Beast", best picture? C'mon. From what I remember it was a nice movie, but new age Disney musicals are on trick, formulaic ponies.
Lets see, for me, silence of the lambs is one of the best thrillers ever and a better movie than the beauty and the beast, eventhought this is one of the best animation movies of all time. For that, i think that the silences of the lambs was worthy to get all those oscars. And in fact, jonathan demme thoght the movie with Michelle pfeiffer in it, she was the first choice. And i think that it would be interesting to see her as clarice sterling, evethought jodie foster did an amazing job.
Renne Zellwegger is a very good actress, but she deserved the oscar for chicago or for bridgett jones, not for could mountain, that was only an ok peformance.
Gwineth paltrow is only a decent actress sometimes, nothing more. Really , i hate that people like paltrow, halle berry or hilary swank has an oscar and not people like chaplin, buster keaton, the marx brothers, cary grant , peter sellers or alfred hitchcock. Its really absurd.

I don't see any problem of who deserves what with the Oscars since it's a corrupt award ceremony to begin with. Who are they to decide what or who is better than the others?
Any horror movie.THey are stupid and very uncreative.JM

Silence of the lambs isnt a horror movie, is a phsicogical thriller with some horror adds. But is a classic as beauty and the beast is. And horror and suspense movies have several masterpieces in its genere. total deserving oscar.
And please, someone could say to me that halle berry or gwineth paltrow deserves more the oscar than hitchock and chaplin, for example??
