Among film fans, the Oscars often get a bum rap. Awards are generally bestowed to predictable, safe choices, and very often the films we really love get no joy from the Academy. But once in a while the Oscars gets it right.The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the Kingwon 11 Oscars.Star Warswon six Oscars.Raiders of the Lost Arkwon four Oscars.Jawswon three Oscars.The Muppetswon one last year. EvenSouth Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut can consider itself an Oscar nominee. What I’m saying is that despite all the Oscar black eyes, sometimes they give us something to smile about.

Those smiles are the subject ofthe second art exhibitby theHero Complex Gallery. It’s calledOscars Legendsand will showcase the Oscar-winning films we all know and love. Now, don’t get this mixed up with theGallery 1988 showhappening this weekend. That’s officially licensed and tied to the 2013 Oscars. The Hero Complex show is a retrospective and will be open February 15-16 in San Francisco.
