'The Shawshank Redemption' named as best Oscars 'also-ran'

Prison drama 'The Shawshank Redemption' has been hailed by movie buffs as the greatest film to miss out on a best picture Oscar.

The much-loved movie – starring Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman – was nominated for the 1995 Academy Awards but missed out on the prize to 'Forrest Gump'.
