Oscar Week ’09: My Favourite Non-Winners – Scent of a Woman

scent of a woman posterWhile 1992's Scent of a Woman never picked Best Picture, 's notable for being the film in which finally won a Best Actor Oscar.

The film stars Chris O'Donnell as a prep-school student, who gets a job to watch over retired blind army Colonel Slade (played by Pacino) over the weekend.

The two end up heading to New York, where Slade plans to have a last hurrah before ending his life.

Both characters become new people throughout the film and the film is definitely a wonderful journey (and one of my personal favourites).
