About The Sixth Sense. Why do terror movies never win an Oscar? It is fair likely that you had seen the famous movie “The Sixth Sense”. For me it is one of the best films I have ever seen. If you have not watched it, you should do it before someone tells you its striking and stunning ending, what would spoil the wonderful movie. The story has all things, suspense, love, action, terror... I saw it about 15 years ago and still remember the tremendous frights that it gave me. Very few terror movies achieve to scare you. Definitely, this movie is awesome, a classic of the genre. The case is that, in spite of all this, the movie did not attain to win an only one Award Academy, something quite unfair if you take into account that it was nominated to six Oscar. Therefore, I ask you, why do some genres, as terror or comedy, never win an Oscar?
