NONE of these movies won an Oscar.
They're not particularly exceptional at anything
They all won secret oscars.
Why would they? They're garbage on the same level as capeshit
Nothing but studio shill jobs

It doesn't matter. Half of these had god tier cinematography and set direction. In fact Azkaban was one of the best pictures
Good.

Reminder reddit tourists, posts like these just tell you the pysche of the poster and nothing more. Unironically this series is better than 9/10 subjects/films posted.

Why on God's Earth would the prestigious Academy even think of nominating a simple flick from one of the dullest franchises in the history of movie franchises.
Seriously each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.
Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody?just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.
>a-at least the books were good though
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."
I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.

you do know that one of the worst superhero movies of recent times won an oscar last night right?
/tv/ are cowards and will pretend oscars mean something when they please
They were garbage, and not "Oscar-friendly" garbage.

I would say that even The Oscars have standards even if they're low but a capeshit flick won a category so I don't know anymore.
>Set with a black protagonist
>First black student to attend all whites wizardry school
>Win 8 Oscars
Why didn't Rowling do this?
