Agreeing with the other comments. The Color Purple is the biggest snub in history. Looks like it got snubbed again by Newsweek.

These are your idea of Oscar's top snubs? Sorry, but these are pretty pathetic. Where's Spielberg for The Color Purple, the biggest snub in Oscar history? For that matter, where's The Dark Knight? This is why Time magazine wipes the floor with you.
