That period between 1975 and 1980 was a real low point for Oscar winning films.

...and so was 1990 when Scorcese lost to 'Dances w/Wolves'. Look at what the other Best Picture nominees were that year:

'Ghost'
'Godfather Part III'
'Awakenings'

I mean, really. 'Ghost'? 'Godfather Part III'??? 'Ghost' was ok as far as a sappy romance fluff picture, but Best Picture?
And 'Godfather Part III'....one of the biggest lemons that year. 'Awakenings' had some good things going for it, but...still not buyin it.

And as they say... the rest is history.

While I'm at it, here's some more Oscar whining. Remember this little nugget? Helen Hunt as Best Actress winner for 'As Good As It Gets'. ...Huh? Wasn't Greg Kinnear also nominated that year for Best Supporting Actor. ...double huh?
