>No Country winning over TWBB in 2007

Probably the closest margin in history, but TWBB definitely deserved best picture more.

Think it was to prevent them from just taking everything for three years running.

Considering how completely trash the Oscars are I'm just happy more than one deserving movie was nominated

You guys remember A Beautiful Mind won Best Picture in 2001 when Mulholland Drive wasn't even nominated?

You guys remember Argo won Best Picture in 2012 when The Master wasn't even nominated?

Lol Hollywood

Certainly, the movie isn’t “about” jazz; it’s “about” abuse of power. Fletcher could as easily be demanding sex or extorting money as hurling epithets and administering smacks. Yet Chazelle seems to suggest that Fletcher, for all his likely criminal cruelty, has nonetheless forced Andrew to take responsibility for himself, to make decisions on his own, to prove himself even by rebelling against Fletcher’s authority. There’s nothing in the film to indicate that Andrew has any originality in his music. What he has, and what he ultimately expresses, is chutzpah. That may be very helpful in readying Andrew for a job on television. “Whiplash” honors neither jazz nor cinema; it’s a work of petty didacticism that shows off petty mastery, and it feeds the sort of minor celebrity that Andrew aspires to.

Well memed, my friend. More subtle than dullestposting.

well A Beautiful Mind is a hell of a lot better than Argo and clearly MD is not for the masses so not shocking

A Beautiful Mind is better than nothing. The only redeeming feature is Connelly's performance.

Omni-hacks like Howard and Zemeckis making a billion dollars with their artless crowd pleasing pablum is fine but pretending films like these have any artistic merit is a fucking laugh.

A Beautiful Mind was great tho.
Still, the LotR movies got snubbed till the RotK.

the only good thing about TWBB is daniel's performance. the movie in itself was complete crap
