In Reply to: Biggest "Oscar-Injustices" of all time.....(past).. posted by RC on March 4, 2005 at 16:54:41:
2001, bested by... Oliver? In 1969, I think. Kubrick never won best director.I've never heard anyone accuse Hollywood of being too intellectual.

Follow Ups:
I don't have much problem with the 2001 not getting an Oscar - I don't consider it such a great work. But yes, to lose to Oliver was shame nonetheless.Perhaps it is best that Kubrick never received that darn Oscar - he was able to claim greater exclusivity than he would have being admitted to the Great Hall of Infamy. Made his cult stronger.
despite the current popularity of "2001", which I have seen maybe 100 times, it was still very controversial in early 1969 when the Academy casts its votes. "Time" Magazine a year later ran a synopsis of 6 or seven of its own comments regarding the film and they started with outright negativity and evolved to a rave in that time.
