Oscar “Best Picture” Retrospective – 2000, The Green Mile, American Beauty
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 we take a look at 2000’s nominees (for movies made in 1999), including Frank Darabont’s The Green Mile, Michael Mann’s The Insider, M. Night Shyamalan’s The Sixth Sense, Lasse Hallstrom’s The Cider House Rules, and Alan Ball’s American Beauty , as well as our Snub Pick of the Year!
