Most Undeserving Oscar Winners

pick a disney movie

Crash

Argo

>And the Oscar goes to? Some shitty foreign film that 90% of the people watching has never heard of.

ROTK winning Best Picture over Master and Commander was pretty egregious

Crash
Shakespeare in Love
Forrest Gump

>>82760673

Suicide Squad

>>82763600
Because William Randolph Hurst, the guy Citizen Kane is somewhat based off of, took offense to the film, and used his influence to tarnish the film's reputation, causing it to lose. It still won best original screenplay, so it at least got some accolades.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

It's funny how pretty much every major critic agrees that Birdman was a mistake. Times change quicker than you might think.

>>82762496
Yup. Gravity was very quickly forgotten. It honestly took me a few seconds to try and remember the film, because I knew for a fact that i'd seen something with that name. What a fucking mistake.

>The Hurt Locker

I'm not trying to score faggot points on an anonymous Mongolian shadow puppet symposium but I hated that film before it was cool to hate it. I spend far too much time trying to tell people that it was bad, but nobody believed me. And now, nearly a decade later, people pretty much all agree that it's hot garbage.

Disney every year in the animation category, I do think they have made amazing movies deserving of the award, but holy fucking shit do they have to win every single time their movies are nominated? Take The Lego Movie (which wasn't even fucking nominated) and Kubo for example.There are exceptions where they haven't won of course, but it's still not fair for the other nominees when 99% of the time a Disney flick is nominated that they are bound to lose.

>>82764067
Zootopia is better than Kubo though, both visually and thematically.

Spotlight.

Anyone remembers that movie? I mean it was fine, but it wasn't BP material. Either The Revenant or _________Fury Road________ should've won that year.

>>82764447
Oh yeah, The Revenant didn't win that year. What were the other options?
