Kramer vs. Kramer - beat Apocalypse Now
Ordinary People - beat Raging Bull
Driving Miss Daisy - beat Born On The Fourth Of July and Do The Right Thing
Dances With Wolves - beat Goodfellas
The English Patient - beat Fargo

I haven't even started on the other categories. What Oscar travesty made your blood boil the most?
and how about Forrest Gump beating Pulp Fiction & Shawshank Redemption?:D

Anyway, Oscar has become a highly biased and somewhat politically motivated...the most overrated Award program today. An entertainment fest for a group of people that they organized and maintain just for their own recreational purpose. Don't care about it anymore.
