From Black Swan to The Silence of the Lambs, these are the horror movies that were nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars.
The Academy Awards have a notorious streak of being biased against nominating films in the action, comedy, fantasy, or surrealist genres. However, those trends are nothing compared to the Oscars’ apparent hatred of horror films. It’s rare to see a horror film nominated in any category, and the number of horror film performances that have been honored is quite low.
5 'The Sixth Sense' The Sixth Sense was a breakthrough film for M. Night Shyamalan, and established him as the filmmaker who had to end every movie with a twist. While the “I see dead people” line has become the subject of endless memes and parodies, the film itself is far more than just a trick ending. Shyamalan used the notion of seeing those who had departed as a chilling exploration of the ramifications of grief.
3 'Jaws' 1975 was an all-time year for the Best Picture category; in the same year that One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest won the prize, its competitors included Stanley Kubrick’s subversive historical epic Barry Lyndon, Sidney Lumet’s gripping heist film Dog Day Afternoon, Robert Altman’s music masterpiece Nashville, and one of the most terrifying films ever made, Steven Spielberg’s Jaws. Spielberg himself was shockingly absent from that year’s Best Director lineup.
