>giving two shits about the oscars

>>85440181
Slumdog, The Hurt Locker and everything after didn't deserve it.

so 2008-2010's basically

>>85440181
My vote goes to when they chose Forrest Gump over A) Pulp Fiction and B) The Shawshank Redemption in 1994. After that point, it's been almost completely misses.

>>85440181
It was always just Jews congratulating each other.

>>85440467
>Dances with Wolves
>Shit

>Million Dollar Baby
>Ok

Are you 12


>No Country for Old Men
>The best in there
Not even the best picture on its year

>>85440181
Forrest gump, The Englist Patient and Titanic were incredibly bland movies to me.

Alas winning over Seventh Heaven in 1928

Oscars are such a fucking joke

>Return of the King

How is this even possible?

>tfw late 90s - early 2000s were formative years and took big hollywood war/adventure epics for granted
now every movie has to be some self-congratulatory love letter to hollywood OR be some gritty grim tale of minorities overcoming oppression

like, this must be how my parents felt about the days of milkmen and nobody taking nigger shit seriously

Crash was the beginning of the end. Go back and watch that movie now. It still fits the gold standard of hitting all the "progressiveness" key notes. But does that make it a good movie. No. Fuck no. Quite the opposite. It was so full of progressive bullshit it forgot to tell a real story. This is coming from someone who owned the movie on DVD. I eventually lent my copy to a friend and was glad they never gave it back. Fuck that movie.

>>85440181

No Country for Old Men and SotL are the only worthy films on that list. All others are completely forgettable. Who the fuck talks about The Artist or Slumdog Millionaire?

>>85440868
This, I have to agree. I am a Clintfag, but Dances With Wolves deserved its Oscar, and Million Dollar Baby is Lesser Clint

>>85440181
I'll get a ton of shit for saying this but Pulp Fiction should've won best picture instead of Forrest Gump. No matter how many times you spam "IMDB! REDDIT! FEDORA!" there's no getting around the fact that Pulp Fiction is a landmark film that had an enormous impact on both mainstream cinema and indie cinema. Forrest Gump isn't bad but it also isn't anything groundbreaking, it won because it's the ultimate boomerbait film and the academy is full of boomers.

>>85440868
No country easily deserved best picture. It's a massive pleb filter to see people who can't see that and feel the need to propel TAOJJBTCRF or TWBB to the forfront of conversation by claiming they were the best of 07

if TWBB won best picture half of rebbit would be meming NCFOM to hell and back, assassination friends love their movie but it's simply not as perfect as no country

I'm this guy:>>85440688
And you've hit the nail on the head. Forrest Gump is quintessential Boomer bait by literally following all the major world events they lived through as if theirs is the only history worth knowing.

>>85440181
>Slumdog Millionaire

Right here. Everything before that was actually good.

1999, when the actual best movie didn't even make it to the nominees list.

>>85441026
It was awarded for the entire trilogy.. also it was the best movie that year

>>85440181
What was the last movie on that list that was actually successful? ROTK?

>>85441412
>Forrest Gump isn't bad but it also isn't anything groundbreaking, it won because it's the ultimate boomerbait film and the academy is full of boomers.

Forrest Gump is ultimate movie that anyone can't hate, it probably wasn't most loved movie, just movie with least haters. AFAIK voting system for Oscars is single transferable vote. Forrest Gump probably didn't have that many first ranked votes, but it probably had lots of third or fourth ranking votes.

>>85440181
>Forrest Gump over Shawshank and Pulp Fiction
>How Green Was My Valley over Citizen Kane
>2001 not even nominated for Best Picture

what did they mean by this?

>>85440467

>He thinks the Oscars were ever "in touch" with anything

>>85440181

The Oscars have always been a fucking farce. It's pretty much just a Hollywood circle jerk.

Get this OP, the best film of every year since the Oscars began have never won Best Picture. In most cases they've never even been nominated. Why is that?

>complaining about iPhone
>posts from an iPhone

The only films after the 90s that really did feel like they got a well deserved oscar were Gladiator, RotK and No Country For Old Men. RotK is probably the most well deserved oscar in history

Could you be more of a pleb?
