2.) Best Director - 1968

Who Won: Carol Reed for Oliver!
Who Should've Won: Stanley Kubrick for 2001: A Space Odyssey

In the mid-20th century, the Academy was notable for two things: A.) heaping Oscars on yalping, pastel musicals nobody watches anymore and B.) refusing to give Stanley Kubrick the time of day. These two proclivities converged in 1968, when Kubrick lost the Best Director Oscar to a herd of screaming orphans.

The failure to honor 2001 is perhaps one of the Academy's greatest oversights, but there's one particular genre snub that I find totally unconscionable, if only for posterity's sake...

That Stanley Kubrick didn't win an Oscar for this film is terrible. That he never won a directing Oscar and none of his films won for best picture is a travesty. (Interesting note: Hitchcock never won a directing Oscar, but Rebecca did win for best picture and cinematography in 1940).

Athol Historical Society President Susannah Whipps-Lee said the time capsule — which has yet to be opened — was made from an old glass container that looked like a pickle jar with a rusted metal screw top. It was buried about 150 years ago, she explained, in what is known as the Old Indian Cemetery or Settlers Burial Ground, which has no gravestones.

...

The discovery of the 150-year-old time capsule, with possibly 300 historical documents inside it, was made by Athol history teacher Keith Williams. Mr. Williams read about the hidden treasure in a book of the town’s history and contacted officials to help verify the discovery.

Owing to the degradation of the jar and documents inside, they're waiting for experts to come and open it.
