Every decade has it's duds. In the 90's, Forrest Gump should not have beaten "Pulp Fiction" or "Shawshank Redemption" and "Shakespeare in Love" should not have beated "Saving Private Ryan". In the 2000s, "Chicago" shouldn't have won over "The Pianist" or "LOTR: The Two Towers" and "Crash" shouldn't have beaten "Munich"...haven't seen "Broke Back Mountain, so I can't speak to that. And I thought "There Will Be Blood" should've beaten "No Country for Old Men".

So this decade is not different. The last 5 years were all questionable to me.
Pulp Fiction is one of the most overrated films ive ever seen

Three Billboards... insulted me from start to finish,
So it did its job:mjlit:
King's Speech is easily the most egregious fam. Social Network was easily the superior film. As was Black Swan.

For me personally, I care more that the nominations are at least representative of the best of that year(best being used in mainstream-ish terms):yeshrug:With all the politics involved, the winner will usually be underwhelming.

:ufdup:Forrest Gump slander will not be tolarated....one of my favorite movies of all-time
Never said it wasn't a good film. It was definitely imaginative and unique. But Shawshank is considered one of the 5 greatest movies ever made, and Pulp Fiction was a classic and had the buzz behind it that year. Gump was very good, but it was a bit too whimsical to have beaten those..

Over the past 10 years Green Book might be the most egregious Best Picture when you compare it to it's competition that year.
Alwasy important to remember what a film was up against. Some years a lame movie wins because the competition is more lame.
