The
Academy Award nominees for Best Picture were
Forrest Gump, Four Weddings & A Funeral, Pulp Fiction, Quiz Show, and
The Shawshank Redemption (
Forrest Gump won six Oscars, including Best Picture). I saw
Pulp Fiction and
Forrest Gump in preview screenings (before the hype got too big). Regrettably, I didn't see
Four Weddings in the theater at all. At the time, I agreed with the Academy: those were the five Best Pictures of the year. These days my opinion of
Forrest Gump has fallen, but if I had to replace it on the list,
The Crow or
Clerks is ready to take its place in my personal Top Five Of 1994.
