‘The Artist’ and ‘Hugo’ stole the Oscars

                         While ‘The Artist’ and ‘Hugo’ stole the show with 5 awards each, the Oscars ignored a lot of good work. Here is our list of films that deserved a nomination.


The Academy has always rigidly awarded a certain type. A type that confirms to the jury’s checklist. Moving-tick, social message-tick, racially democratic-tick etc. But every year (including this one), there are some cinematic gems that offer something more and beyond, even if it doesn’t score with the ticks. So, here we attempt to draw up a list of such films that deserve a mention, regardless of whom the Academy decides to crown.


Kill List
17 Girls
Sleeping Beauty
Sunny (Korean)
Drive
Miss Bala (Mexican)
The Greatest Movie Ever Sold (Documentary)
We need to talk about Kevin
Phone call to the bar (Japanese)
Wake Wood

These films are ignored in academy award..
