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

1949 – The Red Shoes

“Hamlet” is always going to be considered a classic film, but “The Red Shoes” deserved a lot more praise than it ever received. “The Red Shoes” is essentially the original “Black Swan”. The film focuses on how much a performer puts into their craft: the sacrifices they make, the training, the mental/physical turmoil, and the need for constant validation.
