Oscars’ Biggest Snubs: Movies That Deserved the Statuette but Were Robbed

Stills from the films 'The Shawshank Redemption', 'Goodfellas', 'The Dark Knight'

However, these films gained cult status and even outshone the movies they lost to.

As the 97th Academy Awards approach, set to take place on March 2, 2025, at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles, it's an opportune moment to reflect on films that, despite their significant impact and acclaim, did not receive the coveted Oscar statuette. These films have left an indelible mark on cinema history, and many critics and audiences believe they were "robbed" of the recognition they deserved.
