The 10 Worst Scifi Snubs In Oscar History

Loved this quote referring to 2001: A Space Odyssey losing to Oliver.

The 10 Worst Scifi Snubs In Oscar History: “In the mid-20th century, the Academy was notable for two things: A.) heaping Oscars on yalping, pastel musicals nobody watches anymore and B.) refusing to give Stanley Kubrick the time of day. These two proclivities converged in 1968, when Kubrick lost the Best Director Oscar to a herd of screaming orphans.”
