In this continuing 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 we take a look at 1996's nominees (for movies made in 1995), including Mel Gibson's BRAVEHEART, Chris Noonan's BABE, SENSE & SENSIBILITY, Ron Howard's APOLLO 13, and IL POSTINO, as well as our Snub Pick of the Year!
1996 Nominees (for films released in 1995):
– BRAVEHEART
– IL POSTINO
– SENSE AND SENSIBILITY
– APOLLO 13
– BABE
Winner: BRAVEHEART
Snub: SEVEN
