Things that almost got cut from a film which wound up being a significant part of the movie:
The Wizard of Oz: The song "Over the Rainbow" was nearly cut from the film by producers; it later won the Academy Award, became star Judy Garland's signature song, and remains one of the most memorable movie songs of all time.
My Cousin Vinny: Studio executives wanted the character played by Marisa Tomei to be cut from the script. The writer and producer fought to keep the character in the script; Marisa Tomei wound up stealing every scene she was in and would also win an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress (and she's cute, too).
Any other examples of a studio almost screwing up by cutting a major asset from a film?
