Every year, movie fans around the planet await those special dates from the awards season. After the Golden Globes opened the year with a bang, there is much more hype entering the 92nd Academy Awards. You can ask Oscar-pool guru friends all you want but we're pretty sure that this year's choices for Best Picture would be in a very tight race. Out of all the nine nominated films, we all have our picks. Of course, favorites like recent Golden Globe top-prize bagger '1917' and Asian phenomenon 'Parasite' are very well deep into conversation. However, you just can't count out other top picks 'Joker' and 'The Irishman', to name some. But, how about those movies that haven't earned an Oscar nomination? Of course, 2019 movies were some of the best in recent years but this does not exempt us from casting doubts on how selections are made.

As usual, the Oscars and controversy go hand in hand. If you ask movie fans how 'The Shining' and 'American Psycho' did not pass the Academy's eye test by not receiving any nominations during their time, you would probably receive a blank stare. Despite great reviews and box-office success, a film isn't really guaranteed a recognition from the real institutions. Probably, that's just how the world of entertainment works. In this list, we can help you look at some of the best movies for 2019 that did not get nominated for Best Picture by the Academy Awards. Well, at least, this flicks got our attention and the respect of fans who love cinema.
