Reviewing the last 20 Oscar Best Picture Review

[semicko82]

In honor of the upcoming Academy Awards for this weekend I decided to take a trip down memory lane, and take a retrospective look at the last 20 Best Picture winners and see if they hold up after all these years or they deserved the Oscar that year.

Chronological order

2001- A Beautiful Mind
I remember watching this movie, and thought it was cool. It was not a bad movie at all, but I thought way better movies came out that year. My vote would have gone to Fellowship of the Rings and In the Bedroom

2002- Chicago
To be honest I have only watched bits and pieces of this movie. I'm not a fan of musicals, so I never got around to watching the whole thing. I thought it was cool Queen Latifah got a nomination. That's all I remember about this movie. The Two Towers or Gangs of New York would have gotten my vote.

2003- Return of the King
Hands down deserved it. This is saying a lot considering the number of classics that came out that year

2004- Million Dollar Baby- sigh. This is the movie that finally gave Morgan Freeman an Oscar, so that's a plus. Ray or Aviator would have gotten my vote

2005- Crash
I thought it was OK when I was watching it in real time, but in no way did it deserve any awards. Munich would have gotten my vote that year.

I will post some more later on

crash is one I'll never agree with

rented it after it won and was like on why this won.

it's not bad by any means...but didn't feel like a best picture winner

Exactly especially when there were better movies that did not even get nominated.

Munich is incredibly slept on as a Spielberg film and a film in general.

The shape of Water winning in 2017 is still the worst i can think of

Feature Film, Released between 2017-01-01 and 2017-12-31 (Sorted by Popularity Ascending) - IMDb

A year with

• Dunkirk
• Get out
• I, Tonya
• It
• Logan
• Blade Runner 2049

They gave it to that mess

2006 The Departed- a hell of a movie. I knew while watching the movie that Scorsese was finally going to win Best Director. hands down deserved it

2007 No Country for Old Men- although I have issues with this movie I can't deny the top notch filmmaking in this film. My vote would have went to There Will Be Blood, but by no means is No Country a bad pick.

2008- Slumdog Millionaire- The Dark Knight year lol. This movie is ugh. Danny Boyle is a talented director, but man this is a piece of crap. The dance sequence at the end is cringe. Out of the nominees Benjamin Button would get my vote.

2009- The Hurt Locker- not a bad movie just overrated. To be honest I don't remember anything memorable about this movie. This did not deserve best pic. Avatar would have been my pick hands down or Inglorious b*stards.

2010 The King's Speech- This is one of those movies that I thought would be a snooze fest, but it's actually pretty good and surprisingly entertaining. In a year with Toy Story 3, The Social Network, and The Fighter its no way in hell it deserved to win.

2011 The Artist
If you're going to a Gimmick movie make sure it's memorable. Hugo had similar themes as this movie and did a better job with the storytelling.

2012 Argo
I thought Argo was great when I watched it. I don't know how well it holds up, but I was throughly entertained when I last watched it. Django gets my vote this year

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

Mostly shyt movies. Shape of water

The artist

Crash

Kings speech

And many more.

I literally laughed out loud at that musical scene in Shape of Water. Couldn't even try to take it seriously by that point.

I thought Slumdog Millionaire dance scene was Cringe. Thanks for reminding me

2013- 12 Years a Slave- masterpiece. The only negative thing I have to say about this movie. This is not a good date movie. ( that's another story for another day).

2014 - Birdman- pretentious piece of shyt Gimmick movie. This might give The Artist a run for its money as the worst Best Picture of the past 20 years. Whiplash gets my vote this year.

2015- Spotlight. Fine movie, but didn't deserve best picture. I would have voted for the Revenant or Mad Max

Only reason to watch Birdman is Michael Keaton's performance

Yeah I got tricked into seeing birdman instead of whiplash. Was so pissed when I saw whiplash later on.

He is a low-key legend. Somehow he caught up with Bruce Willis and surpassed him
