‘All Dogs Go To Heaven’ And 5 Other Films Gronk Thinks Got Passed Over For The Oscar
Sports Riot sat down with former tight end and noted film connoisseur Rob Gronkowski to get his take on the biggest snubs in Oscar history. Drawing from classic cinema to modern gems, here’s the four-time Super Bowl champ’s picks, in his own words:
- ‘ALL DOGS GO TO HEAVEN’
“This 1989 masterpiece taught America that all dogs — no matter how much they gamble or how many orphans they harm — will be forgiven by God. Even if these dogs were never baptized. That’s a beautiful message. Meanwhile, the Oscar was given to ‘Driving Miss Daisy,’ which only briefly featured a dog. SMDH.”
- ‘SHE’S THE MAN’
“Despite the star-turn for leading lady Amanda Bynes and that actor who played her twin brother (who both should have gotten an acting noms, btw), this fantasy-genre film about boys and girls playing sports together failed to make a splash with critics, probably because critics are dweebs who don’t understand sports.”
- ‘BREAKING BAD’
“You know the fix was in when this won a pile of Emmys, but didn’t even get a single Oscar nomination. WTH?!”
- ‘ALL DOGS GO TO HEAVEN 2’
“More dogs. More heaven. Need I say ‘more’ more?”
- ‘SAVING PRIVATE RYAN’
“Yes, I know it’s unoriginal, but I would be remiss not to include this tale about the second War of the Worlds on my list. The scene where the aliens landed and invaded Normandy was worth the big prize alone, but this wouldn’t be the first or last time the Oscars snubbed a sci-fi movie for something no one really gives a crap about.”
- TOM BRADY’S ENTIRE FILMOGRAPHY
“’Ted 2.’ ‘80 For Brady.’ ‘Entourage: The Movie.’ These films could be on the Mount Rushmore of cinema. If he could win in New England and win in Tampa, he should win in Hollywood, too. Period.”
