Top 25 Books Snubbed by Oscar

It's no secret the Academy sometimes makes pretty controversial choices. In 1964, a play called Becket topped Mary Poppins and Pygmalion for the Best Adaptation award. In 1973, The Exorcist beat out Serpico. And in 2001, A Beautiful Mind beat out The Fellowship of the Ring. We realize the Academy recognizes adaptation, rather than the book, but still.
