Just because a movie or a celebrity wins an Oscar, that doesn't mean the win was deserved. While the Academy Awards are seen as the capstone to awards season -- and one of the highest honors in the business -- we all know that stars and movies get snubbed or overlooked all the time.
What's worse is when we look back at what did win, and shake our heads in confusion and disbelief. So, with the 89th Academy Awards just around the corner, let's take a look back over the show's illustrious history at a few times the Academy voters clearly made a mistake.

Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban is quite rightly viewed as the point where the series found its footing. After putting everything he had into The Chamber Of Secrets - “blood, sweat and tears,” as he put it - Chris Columbus decided that he wouldn't return for the third instalment.
