5 Great Movies That Got Snubbed By Oscar (And You Have No Idea!)

0 Not every great movie gets the opportunity to grasp the prestigious Academy Award. Despite the admirable greatness and masterly quality, some movies are either snubbed or completely ignored by the Academy. If you’re still wondering about the box-office smash Barbie’s loss at the Academy, you’ll be shocked to see the history of Oscar Snubs. Citizen Kane Citizen Kane, the most popular movie by Orson Wells, was notable in the history of cinema for the innovative editing style and the groundbreaking plot. Despite being highly appreciated, the movie lost its Award to How Green Was My Valley by John Ford. Orson Wells’ movie revolves around the life of Charles Foster Kane, and the unveiling of the significance of rosebud, the last word uttered by the protagonist. E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial Steven Spielberg’s E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial is such a mind-blowing movie that is still being embraced by movie buffs all around the world. Despite reigning theatres for an exceptionally long time and garnering nine nominations, E.T was not chosen for the Best Picture Award. The movie was not only loved for the presence of aliens but also for the strikingly beautiful theme of friendship. Frankenstein Frankenstein, the classic horror masterpiece, outshines in the list of movies ignored by the Academy. The genre was underrated and considered to be less worthy of Oscar. It’s unbelievable to think that Frankenstein couldn’t even get nominated. This timeless classic based on Mary Shelly’s book has set a groundbreaking step in the horror genre. City Lights Charlie Chaplin’s City Lights, was a smash hit that grossed more than 4 million dollars by drowning the spectators in the joy of laughter. Though this iconic silent movie with a tramp character garnered world’s attention and love, the Academy didn’t. This romance dramedy tells the tale of a tramp and his achingly hilarious journey to win the heart of a blind girl while dealing with his confusingly boozy millionaire friend. Before Sunrise Before Sunrise is such an intense movie woven with the emotions of love. This movie, a part of the Before trilogy, tells the tale of lovers, with strikingly beautiful moments as well as the lashing down of aching marital problems. Despite the appreciation and acceptance, the movie was ignored by the Academy. But the other two films in the “Before trilogy” were chosen by the Academy and shone in the list of nominations.

My Way To Gloomy Sunday: 5 Songs that killed People In Real Life

0 Songs are widely embraced by the world for the echoes of emotions they flourish in the hearts of listeners. But what if it goes beyond the limit, to the extent of inciting brutal attacks and bitter deaths? From My Way by Frank Sinatra to Gloomy Sunday by Rezso Seress, there are some deadly songs that snatched the lives of listeners. So here’s the list of songs you should never get addicted to. My Way, Frank Sinatra Have you heard of My Way Killings? “My Way Killings” is a bizarrely shocking phenomenon that swept the karaoke bars in the Philippines with blood of brutal deaths. Around 12 murders were reported, all killings happened while playing the karaoke of Frank Sinatra’s My Way. The world is still clueless about the incidents, some critics take it as a mere coincidence while others point out “the aggressive pride” in the lyrics. Suicide Solution, Ozzy Osbourne Suicide Solution by Ozzy Osbourne has encouraged a teen to shot himself to death. The lines, “Suicide is the only way out” has lashed down at him with an urge to end everything. The same year, another death linked to this deadly song was reported. Osbourne was taken to court, but he claimed that “the song’s about the dangers of alcoholism”. Isn’t it terrifying to see that a mere misinterpretation of a song could lead one to death? Better By You, Better Than Me, Judas Priest Better By You, Better Than Me is another bizarre song that almost led to the deaths of two boys named James Vance and Raymond Belknap. These two little men were seen drowning in drugs. Though both of them decided to kill themselves, Vance had only injured himself. The lines in the song, “let’s be dead” and “do it” were later accused of propelling such suicidal thoughts and actions. The band was also taken and judged by the court. Gloomy Sunday, Rezso Seress Gloomy Sunday is another deadly song that has swept the world in gloom. Rezso Seress crafted this deadly melody when he was sinking in deep despair, the rejection by the music industry, the unbearable loss of love, the dooming career and the broken chunks of hope. Luckily, Gloomy Sunday would reap the world’s attention, and would continually be played but only to propel one suicide after another. Many corpses were discovered with the lyrics in their suicide notes. Gloomy Sunday is now referred to as “The Hungarian Suicide Song”.
