Total snub job by the Academy

Rating: 10/10 (25 June 2019)

This is arguably the greatest sports film of all time. It's certainly the best boxing film ever made.
Was it the best film of 1980? Not according to the Academy, which gave the nod to "Ordinary People."
Nearly four decades later, Raging Bull holds an 8.2 rating here at the IMDB to Ordinary People's 7.8.
Raging Bull is 95% among critics on the Tomato Meter and 93% among voters from the general public.
Ordinary People is 91% on the Tomato Meter and 88 percent from the general public.
Perhaps the most telling statistic here is the fact that more than 280,000 people have given a rating on this website for Raging Bull.
Only 42,000 have registered a vote for Ordinary People.
So which film was more memorable? The numbers don't lie.
One film was an absolute classic. The other was a well-made, but in the long run, forgettable film.
In boxing terms, the Academy's Best Picture decision was a fix -- an absolute travesty.
