The cinematography was sick, and the love letter to movies (yeah yeah) but clumsy movie, for sure. Armageddon Time was fine too. Sundown, such a surprising movie experience, the setting was realistic and haunting, I have never seen Mexico violence shown in such a realistic manner.

This felt like…..a crude Disney Channel Original Movie.
That's a terrible take. First of all, EEAAO did take on a serious issue. Second, trying to be serious and turning out lame is far worse than openly being goofy and still coming off profound. Crash was pure Oscar bait with a stupid message. EEAAO did everything possible not to be Oscar bait yet won anyway.
All Quiet on the Western Front will go on as one of the best war movies of all time. They were robbed.
EEAAO is a corny movie with fancy special effects that had no business even being in the Best Picture category but won because of the Ke Huy Quan comeback narrative and the push to celebrate Asians/women/diversity/whatever.
Even if people want to pick on my claim and it might beat 3 or 4 other Best Picture winners from the last 40 years, it doesn’t change the fact that it’s historically one of the worst movies to win the award in a long time.
Nah. The Coli reactions were wild good when it came out and I saw it with my friend in the theaters on the strength of those, liked it so much I took my wife back to see it the next night. You can't rewrite history and make it out like they didn't do something special there.
All Quiet on the Western Front won more Oscars than any German-language film in history. And low-key in Germany it's seen as just superficial, inauthentic Oscar bait.
On the “war kitsch” of All Quiet On The Western Front
Edward Berger’s film of the novel has been lauded across the world. But in Germany it has met with negative responses that speak to the country's shifting relationship with war

Historiker: Netflix-Film "Im Westen nichts Neues" wenig authentisch | MDR.DE
Der deutsche Oskar-Kandidat "Im Westen nichts Neues" ist wenig authentisch, klischeehaft und fehlerbeladen - so das Urteil des Militärhistorikers Sönke Neitzel. Im Interview zeigt er die Schwächen des Netflix-Films auf.

Yeah, kinda goofy that it won best song when the song sucks ass musically. It literally won for the dancing. I'm sure it wasn't even a top-10 song in an Indian film this year.
Indian music can be dope, "Naatu Naatu" just wasn't it.

Cacs in the audience and online loved the Will Smith jokes, but had a problem with the Babylon joke. 
I don't remember anyone actually liking The Shape of Water.but then we'll watch it and be like 'nope that was good'
on the flip side:
The English Patient’ (1996)
Total Oscar Nominations: 12
Wins: 9
when was the last time you watched that shyt?
how about this:
Chicago (2002) - 13 (won 6)
La La Land (2016) - 14 (won 6)
The Shape of Water (2017) - 13 (won 4)
EEAAO is WAY better than those 3
Coda was dope. I knew when watching it it would win

No it won't. There's nothing new or revolutionary about it. The only memorable thing about that movie is the score. Other than that it's typical forgettable Oscar bait.
Dave was supposed to play Bubba...Forrest Gump is a classic and the only reason....the only reason I could let you trash it is if you posted this pic:
