These Oscar Best Picture winners wouldn’t get the award in 2023

Hollywood Reporter survey found that a majority would like to go back and change their 1977 votes for “Rocky” to “All the President’s Men.” And looking back at 1999, if they had to do it all over again, they’d give the gold to war epic “Saving Private Ryan” instead of the largely-forgotten “Shakespeare in Love.” But there have been a lot more recipients of Hollywood’s highest honor that have fallen out of favor — and sometimes in epic fashion. Here are 11 examples of Best Picture winners that probably wouldn’t win the award in 2023 — that is, if they were even green-lighted in the first place.

a report by WalletHub.It’s apparently a boon for the local economy, too: Los Angeles reportedly sees a more than $163 million boost from the ceremony.For an A-list actress, that means they could drop about $10 million on a show-stopping look for the red carpet. Even first-time attendees have to open their wallets wide, with an outfit potentially ringing up $266,000.Cate Blanchett, who is nominated this year for Best Lead Actress for “Tár,” set the record for the most expensive look ever at the Oscars in 2014 — where her ensemble cost a whopping $18.1 million.Lady Gaga’s Tiffany pendant that she rocked at the 2019 ceremony was valued at $30 million.By the way, according to WalletHub, a win in the Best Actor or Actress category can mean a 20% boost in pay for the victor’s next film.

‘Liar’ Sacheen Littlefeather’s sisters: Leave her out of Oscars’ In Memoriam

Will Smith notwithstanding — Sacheen Littlefeather is virtually assured a spot in the In Memoriam segment when the show airs Sunday, March 12, on ABC.But her family would rather the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences just forgot about the late actress.Publicly recognizing her will continue the “biggest blunder in the history of the Oscars,” Littlefeather’s sister Rosalind Cruz told The Post Monday.“They will [include her] because they need to keep covering up for themselves,” Cruz, 65 said of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. “They’re endorsing a Pretendian and keep pushing the lie and slander of our family and they don’t care.”Littlefeather, who died of breast cancer at 75 in October, established herself in Oscars lore in 1973 when she declined Marlon Brando’s Best Actor Oscar on his behalf.

‘Till’ actress calls out Oscars for ‘misogynoir’ after best actress snub

Her comments came after “Till” director Chinonye Chukwu accused the Oscars, as well as the entertainment industry, of being “aggressively committed to upholding whiteness,” after she wasn’t nominated for best director. “We live in a world and work in industries that are so aggressively committed to upholding whiteness and perpetuating unabashed misogyny towards Black women.
