Oscar snubbed!!!

Rating: 8/10 (3 December 1998)

The French Connection was certainly a great movie, a cinemtaic experience and certainly worthy of an Academy Award for Best Picture. However, how the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences can leave this movie off the list of nominees is an insult to filmmaking. The reason I can fathom is that most of Hollywood was too shocked by the movie's graphic scenes to be entertained. All the same, it is utterly wrong and a pathetic snub. This movie is, in my opinion, the greatest movie that did not win Best Picture.
