Did the Academy get it right by awarding Best Picture to Dances with Wolves over Goodfellas?

Was 'Goodfellas' the Rightful Winner?

Welcome to “And The Oscar Shoulda Gone To…”, the podcast where Best Picture races are discussed, debated and decided to reveal who should have been awarded the Best Picture Oscar.

Dylan, Rob and Glenys will review the most controversial best picture races from 1970 on, with comprehensive explanations for why they picked the films they did. Maybe their Best Picture pick was clearly the movie everybody loved that year, maybe it was an influential work that film-makers still discuss years later, or maybe it’s just the movie that everyone loves to re-watch year after year.

Watch along with the podcast so you can make your own determination and then let Dylan, Rob and Glenys know how wrong they are!
