In this new series we take a look at the Oscar nominations of years past, examining the flicks that were nominated, as well as the pic we feel got snubbed among all the other candidates. Love 'em or hate 'em, the Oscars usually highlight the best films from each year (although there are plenty that get overlooked) and it's always fun to look back and see what was popular for any given year and to contemplate their legacy in retrospect. This time out we take a look at the 1992 Academy Awards, which featured Oliver Stone's conspiracy thriller JFK, Warren Beatty's gangster flick BUGSY, the Disney animated film version of BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, Jonathan Demme's adaptation of THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, and Barbra Streisand's melodrama THE PRINCE OF TIDES. Check out our retrospective below!
