![Jese Leos](https://story.aroadtome.com/author/ruben-cox.jpg)
The 1982 Academy Awards was a night of surprises. The frontrunner, "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial," lost Best Picture to "Gandhi," a biopic about the life of Mahatma Gandhi. The upset was controversial, with many critics arguing that "E.T." was the more deserving film.
So, did "Gandhi" deserve to win Best Picture? Let's take a closer look at the two films and see how they stack up.

"Gandhi" is a sweeping epic that tells the story of Mahatma Gandhi's life, from his early days as a lawyer in South Africa to his leadership of the Indian independence movement. The film is a powerful and inspiring portrait of a man who dedicated his life to fighting for peace and justice.
The film was directed by Richard Attenborough and starred Ben Kingsley as Gandhi. Kingsley's performance is one of the most iconic in film history, and he deservedly won the Academy Award for Best Actor. The film also won Best Director for Attenborough and Best Original Screenplay for John Briley.
"E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial"
"E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" is a science fiction film about a young boy who befriends an alien who is stranded on Earth. The film is a heartwarming and magical story about friendship, family, and the power of imagination.
The film was directed by Steven Spielberg and stars Henry Thomas as Elliott, the young boy who befriends E.T. The film also features Drew Barrymore, Dee Wallace, and Peter Coyote. The film was a critical and commercial success, winning four Academy Awards, including Best Original Score and Best Visual Effects.
So, which film deserved to win Best Picture?
Both "Gandhi" and "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" are excellent films that deserved to win Best Picture. However, I believe that "Gandhi" is the more deserving film.
"Gandhi" is a film of great historical importance. It tells the story of a man who changed the world through nonviolent resistance. The film is a powerful reminder of the importance of peace and justice, and it is a film that will continue to inspire people for generations to come.
"E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" is a wonderful film, but it is not a film of the same historical importance as "Gandhi." "E.T." is a film about friendship and family, and it is a film that will continue to be enjoyed by people of all ages. However, I believe that "Gandhi" is the more important film, and it is the film that deserved to win Best Picture.
The 1982 Academy Awards was a night of surprises, but I believe that the right film won Best Picture. "Gandhi" is a powerful and inspiring film that tells the story of a man who changed the world. It is a film that will continue to inspire people for generations to come, and it is a film that deserved to win Best Picture.
What do you think? Did "Gandhi" deserve to win Best Picture? Or should "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" have won? Let me know in the comments below!
