Was this the worst Best Picture winner?

NCfOM and The Departed were the only good best picture winners in the last 10 years

back to your superhero thread lad

>The Artist
>Argo
>12 Years of Torture Porn
>Birdman
>Spotlight
>Crash
>Slumdog Millionaire
>A Beautiful Mind
>American Beauty
>Titanic

That's as far back as I'm going for now

>Birdman
>A Beautiful Mind
>American Beauty
>bad

slumdog millionaire

what a forgettable mediocrity.

>good

I feel like it was still a solid movie
Not a best picture but still good

Shakespeare in Love is probably the worst one, Slumdog millionaire if you are talking recent.

how

I fucking despised Hurt Locker, and think the director is a hack, and dislike all her movies.

But Crash was much, much worse.

>no one touches each other in L.A

what did don cheez its mean by this?

I thought it was good until he guessed the final answer then I was pissed.

What's wrong with Crash?

>Shakespeare in Love beat Saving Private Ryan to Best Picture

CUZ WE DA ONE WITH DA GUNZ

>I didn't like that one line of dialogue
>Nothing else
Name one film that explores the subject of race relations that is liked on Cred Forums

there is not one single good movie that "explores race relations"

12 years of slave was actually good

No

Black or White was the best recent race relationship movie

Do The Right Thing.

Because despite Spike Lee's revisionist bullshit he says in interviews, it paints a very ambiguous narrative.

people don't the idea of people getting horny watching car crashes

I have to agree with this on the caveat that it paints a picture of a very race-troubled and in-flux neighbourhood to begin with, that MANY people will never experience in their lives.

It was exaggerated, but still a decent movie.

>>>/capeshit/

Fucking Christ, Crash is incredibly corny and looks and feels like a Lifetime movie. Not to mention the shitty acting and the shallow and naive look at "race relations". Watch Do the Right Thing, 13th and Fruitvale Station for good movies on the subject

I thought it was good until the part where the S.A.S guys were shown us incompetent and had to be saved by the superior US soldiers

Not SAS just British Mercs.

Scene still didn't make any sense as the yanks were laying in the exact same spot where the Brit had been shot for a good minute and the terrorist didn't even shoot once

a woman even attempting to emulate the concept of sacrifice in war will always fail miserably

that was the director trying to propagate PMC forces as being incompetent greedy civilian gun nuts instead of prior special forces members with at least 5 years of experience a piece like in reality

This film was hot garbage and I turned it off after about 15 minutes.

EOD were a bunch of pussies that wouldn't leave the FOB without escort, would run away after they heard any kind of gun fire directed toward their general direction, and wouldn't do much of anything other than use a robot to place a charge and blow shit in place.

We stopped calling for those fuckers and just detonated shit ourselves...

but that guy was a total bad ass, wasnt it cool how he was never careful about anything? so casual and cool bro

I thought they were just mercenaries?

kek. Seriously though, Cronenbergs was the superior Crash.

>an award show that celebrates film should ignore films about film history
Are you retarded?

More IMDB buff flick-lover detected.

In the Heat of the Night.

They shouldn't get a bump due to their subject-matter.

This is the worst best picture winner ever

Shut up faggot

Well, the academy consists of people who work in the film industry so when a film comes that validates and celebrates their profession, they have to give it something. The Oscars are not the most objective awards.

Watch more films, pleb fucking shit.

this

>hurr durr watch more mooovees
Kill yourself, fucking hipster scumbag

...

Most every film nominated for Best Pic in the last two decades has been unremarkable/mediocre. Film may be dying.

It's a boring answer, but after looking at the best pic winners since 1995, Crash seems to be the worst.

>proudly admits to not watching many movies
>thinks his opinion matters on a Television and Film board
Kill yourself, my man.

Seriously fuck Crash

Spotlight was my favorite movie of last year. First time that has ever happened.

>Worst Best Picture Winner
>Probably one of the only cases where the film is great

This place, I swear to God.

Mad Max should have won last year. That pedo one was good, but no where near BP.

The Artist is kino m8. One of the few deserving best picture wins.

>the director is a hack, and dislike all her movies.

Confirmed for either pleb or having never seen Point Break

It's garbage. You can tell me to go watch capeshit but this movie gets the military so wrong it's almost unwatchable.

back to your snyder sub reddit

It's not a bad film, I thought it was great, but you know that gender played a huge part in the nom. Can't wait for more social politics this Oscars

It's actually one of the 5-6 best winners of the last 20 years.

If you're talking about "shit that shouldn't have won over other movies", an obvious case would be 1976 (1977's Academy Awards).

Rocky -- a decent, but admittedly cheesy and predictable movie -- won over:
* Taxi Driver
* Network
* All the President's Men
All three of which (or, certainly, the first two) are probably the top-rated movies in their respective genres.

wow. Didn't know that this happened. What a travesty. It's clear that those involved in the voting don't watch the films, understand or appreciate them.

You have to admit that's a pretty tough choice for best picture. Why can't movies be that good anymore?

People always say that we romanticize the past, which is true, but they don't make movies like those anymore. The game has changed and I honestly believe the future is in television, as a medium

I can think of one.

Oh come one, 12 Years was THE "slave movie" that was actually fucking good with actual actors and not a white guilt trip.

Steve McQueen is a fantastic director.

He is. Shame > Hunger > 12 Years.

The way forward is obviously snapchat stories.

>EOD were a bunch of pussies that wouldn't leave the FOB without escort, would run away after they heard any kind of gun fire directed toward their general direction, and wouldn't do much of anything other than use a robot to place a charge and blow shit in place

So they were highly intelligent, then?

kek. There is probably some future in that, sadly. Youtube have already started producing films that are TERRIBLE.

>hate is like a cycle man

Really makes you think...

This. Shakespeare in Love was a fucking joke of a film. I'm not even a fan of Saving Private Ryan but holy shit. SPR had amazing production, amazing sound design, amazing lighting, amazing costume design, a decent narrative and it got shafted because a Jew got stabbed.

Fucking bullshit.

12 Years a Slave is really good though. It flows so seamlessly and really encapsulates the oppressive drudgery and tediousness punctuated with brutality that is enslavement.

>amazing sound design, amazing lighting, amazing costume design, a decent narrative

If only those very distinct parts of a film had their own awards.

Also lol at anyone describing anything about Saving Private Ryan as amazing.

But best picture is a culmination of all those thing. Are you legit saying Shakespeare in Love was better than Saving Private Ryan?

If so, you're retarded. Not only is SIL completely forgettable, it wasn't even good...the movie fucking sucks ass. Also John Madden, the director, has gone on to do jack fucking shit in his career. Shakespeare in Love winning over Saving Private Ryan is the first thing that should make you realize that the Oscars are complete bullshit.

I can never be upset with this movie simply because of the amount of faggot tears it caused when it beat Bareback Mountain at the Oscars.

>But best picture is a culmination of all those thing

Except it's not.

>dude I'm gonna zoom in and zoom out and shake the camera like if I was a 12 year old using a handycam for the first time: The Movie

annoying as shit, same goes with Captain Phillips, or any action movie with Denzel Washington, I never understood what was the appeal of that, looks dumb and pretentious.

This movie really made me think.

Spotlight

Like, what the fuck

It wasn't that bad of a film. What movie on this list apart from maybe the Revenant categorically surpassed it?

Room

>bleach bypass meme film
>good

Thanks for the laugh user

Maybe not but it should be.

This and Slumdog millionaire. Anyone who hates Hurt locker is a faggot

If this wasn't based on a true story then it wouldn't have been nominated

If it wasnt "muh newspapers and journalists" it wouldnt have won

Why is there absolute zero reference to the fact that it was an obvious Fuck You to her ex-husband Cameron and "overuse of CG is ruining Hollywood" Avatar?

What did the Hurt Locker have to do with gender?

Chariots of Fire is by far the worst best picture winner. It's so boring, watching it should take the place of waterboarding

>should ignore
Are YOU retarded? Never did I say nor imply that.

A female directed it.

came in ur mom to post this.
