ANSWER: ‘Peyton Place’ (1957) is considered to be one of Oscar’s weakest choices for a best-picture nomination. The snubs of ‘The African Queen’ (1951), ‘Now, Voyager’ (1942) and ‘Some Like It Hot’ (1959) are widely considered to be some of the worst oversights in Oscar history. The cold shoulder received by ‘Hot’ is proof that Oscar has no sense of humor. The American Film Institute ranks ‘Some Like It Hot’ as the greatest comedy ever made.
