The Last Samurai - Not even a best picture nomination.
Edward Zwick - Not even a best director nomination for The Last Samurai. I can't imagine putting all the work into it that he did only to receive no recognition by the Academy.

Steven Spielberg not being nominated for "Jaws," one of the most perfectly directed movies ever. There wasn't a single scene that, IMO, had a misstep. The autopsy scene had one of the worst edits I've ever seen in a good movie. The infamous "This is what happens..." cut. He says it in the middle of the scene, and it's clearly part of a larger piece of dialogue, but that's all missing and the line has no connection with the lines before or after. Still a great movie, though.

That Gloria Swanson didn't win an Oscar for Sunset Boulevard is just shameful. Her performance was and still is towering.
Tallulah Bankhead definitely deserved a nomination for Hitchcock's "Lifeboat," but the Academy ignored her.
Joan Fontaine deserved an Oscar nom for her sublime performance in "Letter From an Unknown Woman." She was also robbed the year before for "Ivy" (great victorian psycho movie).
Olivia de Havilland should've won for the remarkable "Snake Pit," but lost to Jane Wyman in Johnny Belinda!
