The Academy Awards mean different things to different people. For some movie fans, it's the biggest night of the year, the Super Bowl for worthy movies. For others, it's a night of self-congratulation and advertisements. While the latter group seems way less fun to be around, both sides have their points and, ultimately, the Oscars are just a fun show that means whatever you want them to mean. What isn't up for debate, however, is the fact that when a movie is nominated for the biggest prize -- Best Picture -- it gets a lot of attention that it may not have received otherwise. Some of these movies, on the heel of their Best Picture nominations, become instant classics that stand the test of time and become beloved by millions. For others, they get a temporary popularity boost but end up being forgotten by most.
