Poll: BAFTA Winners the Oscar Passed On

A poll by penchofifteenpolls

There have been several times in history, especially in the early years when the British Academy was more likely to pay attention to movies beyond Hollywood, when the BAFTA winner for best film was not even in contention for the best picture Academy Award.

Which of these BAFTA winners deserved a Best Picture Oscar nomination the most?
