Michael Mann’s ‘Heat’ Should Have Been an Oscar Contender

Yes I agree it should have won more awards but this procedural cop genre doesn't really get the love it deserves in general anyway.

 

The true crime is Mann and Russell Crowe not winning oscars for "The Insider". American Beauty won instead :birdie:  :birdie:  That was the worst decision since Ordinary People beating Raging Bull

Meh, any film that has a trace of fun in it will always have difficulty winning an Oscar. Then again this didn't get a single Oscar nomination and yet Batman Forever got three nominations for best sound, sound effects editing and cinematography so I guess Mann must've ticked someone off.

 

On a happier note glad to see in the article linked that Fox will be putting out a new special edition Blu-ray next year, hope it's a 4K restoration like the Goodfellas release Warner put out earlier this year.
