New Horror Films
New Horror Films

Why aren't horror films recognized by the Academy Awards or Golden Globe Awards?
I find it strange some horror film directors, actors, screenplay writers, etc., aren't given recognition for their great work. There are some great horror films out there; not those cheesy ones with bad actors, and the horrid script. Is there a reason for this?
Genre pictures don't usually do well in any awards ceremony. It isn't totally fair. Even Hamlet was a "genre" play when it was first produced. However, horror or "stalker" films haven't completely missed the cut.
===========
In 1961, Psycho received four nominations
In 1971 A Clockwork Orange was put up for Best Picture
In 1971 Straw Dogs was overlooked,
In 1974 The Exorcist was nominated for an amazing 10 awards including Best Picture, Best Actor, actress and director. It ended up winning only two awards, for Best Writing and Best Sound.
-------
Jaws in 1976. It was up for four Oscars including Best Picture and went home with a respectable three (sound, film editing and score) but missed out on the big one.
--------
The Omen and The Fly took the only awards for genre films during this time, winning Best Music and Best Make Up respectively.
----------
Nominations but no wins included
The Amityville Horror for Best Score,
Poltergeist for Best Score, Best Sound FX, and Best Visual FX
Ghostbusters for Best Music and Best FX.
------------
More shocking than anything else was the total omission of films like Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining. Kubrick was traditionally shunned by the Academy so not to see his name was no surprise. But to leave Jack Nicholson off the Actor list and the awesome cinematography out of contention was a crime.
--------
In 1992 The Silence of the Lambs. was not a horror film per se.. A total of seven nominations were turned into five wins: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress and Best Writing.
-----
American Psycho was a recent filme that was overlooked.

The extended editions of Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings present the greatest trilogy in film history in the most ambitious sets in DVD history. In bringing J.R.R. Tolkien's nearly unfilmable work to the screen, Jackson benefited from extraordinary special effects, evocative New Zealand locales, and an exceptionally well-chosen cast, but most of all from his own adaptation with co-writers Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens, preserving Tolkien's vision and often his very words, but also making logical changes to accommodate the medium of film... |

Why do some people like horror films?
A female friend, now an ex as it happens after many years who i knew quite well likes horror films.
And i`m talking really bad ones, theres ones you can laugh at, but i`m talking really dark disturbing ones of depravity, grotestue mutilation, torture and abuse on others.
Do you think she is possibly disturbed?
Well there are sadists who like to see people in pain - these are what people can consider 'disturbed'..
There are also masochists, linked to sadists, masochists gain pleasure from getting hurt.
Others just enjoy a good fright. This is natural. You can also get adrenaline out of fright, some people just like the feeling..
Anywho I doubt she is disturbed unless you see her actually cutting herself or others with a huge grin on her face..
