Nominations: 13

Wins: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Film Editing, Best Visual Effects

Tom Hanks gives a performance for the ages in this deeply affecting and highly entertaining tale of a slow-witted Alabama man who becomes focal to countless pivotal historical events.

While some critics misguidedly believed that the film was touting an "ignorance is bliss" message, Forrest Gump is largely beloved by audiences as one of the best films of the 1990s, a sweet, often hilarious drama with a positive message about the power of optimism.

You'd need a heart of stone not to be charmed by Hanks' incredible performance, but just about everyone in this movie brings their A-game.
