Movies That Should Have Won the Best Picture Oscar (But Didn’t)

1964 – Lilies of the Field

In 1964, both “Lilies of the Field” and “Tom Jones” are Oscar-nominated films adapted from books that are competing against one another in the Best Picture category. Though “Lilies of the Field” may not be as glorious or as adventurous as “Tom Jones”, it deserved to win. “Lilies of the Field” is a sweet film. It covers themes of acceptance, freedom, and friendship.
