SNUB: Goodfellas (1991)
Martin Scorsese is no stranger to getting the shaft at the Academy Awards (it wasn’t until 2006’s The Departed that he finally won for best direction). But at the 1991 ceremony, his epic mob drama Goodfellas really got it. After six nominations, the film walked with only one win (best supporting actor for Joe Pesci). And it lost top accolades to Dances With Wolves.
