Everyone remembers Citizen Kane, but does anyone know which movie won the Best Picture over it? Why didn't Stanley Kubrick or Alfred Hitchcock ever win? And why did Saving Private Ryan lose for literally disgusting reasons? Let's take a stroll down bad Oscar memory lane and hope they don't screw it up this year.
