@Tigerlily21 Why would a pro-Communist movie released during the Reagan years ever win Best Picture?
-
@dormanbenton Warren Beatty produced Reds. The video mentioned that he received the nominations for Best Picture, Director and Actor - but he was also nominated was screenwriter (original screenplay). It were deserved nominations and even more deserved award as Best Director. It's an interesting story. But the problem was: Warren told the story really longer than the necessary.

FOR WHATS ITS WORTH JIM AND WARREN ARE LIKE TWINS

La plus belle histoire d'amour!! Merci beaucoup Mr. Beatty.

@h9socialist Actually, Reagan personally invited Beatty for a private screening of Reds at the White House.

sadly you missed the point of the oscars dear sir... maybe you should revive the win by Chariots and just like the economic impossiblity of socialism you will see Reds is a great film but not to everyones tastes...

REDS should've been Best Picture that year. It's ridiculous that "Slumdog Millionaire" will be remembered as "Best Picture" but REDS won't. The only reason the Academy didn't pick REDS as Best Picture was that they were afraid of Reagan and the right-wing goons who had taken over in Washington. MILK was last year's Best Picture, but some trendy assholes at the Academy cabbaged onto the Bollywood thing.

I found Reds to be boring. Big Warren Beatty fan but this movie didn't do it for me. I felt like I should have gotten an award (reward) for getting all the way through.
Reds should have won! The only thing people remember about Chariots of Fire is its theme song. Reds is even better when you watch it today.

It was not forgotten. It was put away on the dusty shelves of "not suited for broad audience" by the bourgeoisie.
