u hating on LA confidential breh?
I'm saying I would never pick Titanic over LA Confidential. LA Confidential is sorely underrated
One of my favorite films of all time.
Epic fukking movie. Definitely doesn't get the recognition it deserves...it feels like people forgot about it for some reason
I think that's because of the year it came out in. 97 is an OK year for movies, not great and of course the highest grossing movie of all time got released and won major awards so it's a couple factors into that
That was my initial point

I think this article makes a lot of good points.
I distinctly remember being cynical and bitter about the lack of love for "Happiness", "Shame", and "Fargo". After that, I adjusted my expectations and watch the Oscars for entertainment.

Exactly. Nolan's Insomnia is fighting Fincher's Se7en right now, and I don't know where I'm putting Chinatown :sadbaby2:

you might watch it though, right?
it's not about the awards, fukk the awards. it's not about having one group of people telling us all what the best movies and performances were, it's about celebrating the love of film. all these award shows... whether it's the oscars, the golden globes, the mtv movie awards... it's just about celebrating the year in film.
the academy is no worse or better than any other committee of opinions, only thing is they are daunted with the task of not only having to cater to the most broadest demographic possible, but also maintaining the prestige and nobility of the event. so i imagine they don't pick the best movie but rather they arrive at best movie.
sidenote: do you guys really not understand why movies like titanic and forrest gump would win over movies like la confidential and pulp fiction?
