I believe Sean Penn winning over Mickey Rourke wich is like the craziest thing ever to happen.. Sean won for 2 reasons: 1. He went gay for the movie. 2. Mickey when he swept the BAFTAs, the Golden Globes and SAGS, he cussed (said fuck for like hundred times), he rised up his mid finger, he thanked his dogs.. It's something the academy don't accept.. so basically Sean was a good choice. But i don't care as long as what Mickey presented in The Wrestler is something legendary.

Also David Lynch not winning a Directing award for Mulholland Dr., Chris Nolan not even getting nominated for directing Inception (which sucked), Ellen Burstyn not winning an oscar for Requiem for a Dream.

BUT THE BIGGEST OSCAR SNUBB OF ALL TIME IS:

This dork (If you seen his oscar acceptance speech you'll pretty much find out that HE PLAYED HIMSELF in the film)

WINNING OVER THIS GUY!

Ed Norton was perfect in that movie. I agree with you.

I've only watched the Oscars once in my entire life, back in 1986 when The Color Purple was nominated for like 10 or 12 awards and ended up winning ZERO! Haven't watched since.

The biggest Oscar snub in history was the multiple snub incident suffered by "The Color Purple".

Absolutely the biggest snub of all. Is Hollywood jealous of Speilburg? He's made some incredible films. ET is another one that should have won something. Did it?

Kind of irrevelant now, but back in 1954, Judy Garland was up for "A Star Is Born." The film, originally much longer than was released, featured Garland at some of her best singing and acting. She and then-husband/producer Sid Luft were very passionate about the movie and it was a turning point for the actress in terms of movie success. She had been let go from MGM and she needed to prove herself in this new type of dramatic musical. She did and critics agreed SHE would be a sure-fire bet in the year's Oscar competition. Trouble is, the Oscar committee favored Grace Kelly in her "The Country Girl" performance. Kelly did not have Garland's troublesome past and was a popular favorite, especially since she appeared in 5 movies that year - including "Dial M for Murder." Surprisingly, other female contenders that year were Dorothea Dandridge for "Carmen Jones," Jane Wyman in "Magnificent Obsession," and Audrey Hepburn for "Sabrina."

The night of the awards telecast, Judy Garland was actually in the hospital giving birth to her third child (Joe). A well-known anecdote is that while she was in the hospital, the press came into her room and set up camera's anticipating Garland to win. She prepared an acceptance speech and was looking forward to finally being embraced by Hollywood again for her work in this film, not to mention the joy of having a newborn. Sadly, the minute Grace Kelly's name was announced, the press and film crew shut off their lights (without saying a word), packed-up their stuff, and left Garland alone without so much as apologizing or saying goodbye.

Her remaining filmwork was largely done in England and only included a handful of films. She died June 22, 1969 of an accidental overdose of Barbiturates (used to treat anxiety and insomnia), which Garland was addicted to for years. Other than her "honorary" statuette, for her work in "Babes in Arms" and "The Wizard of Oz" (both 1939), Judy Garland never received a competitive Academy Award.

Oscar worthy? Not in my opinion.

Didn't Malcolm and Eddie get nominated for those roles? How it is a snub?
