These are the movies that won the Oscars for Best Picture the last 5 years as well as the other nominees. Do you agree with the selections each year? Who do you think should have won?

cinema is dead.
Why? Is it dead?
*Why is it dead?
I have only seen 8 of these movies and not a single one of the winners.
This doesn't make you special or unique
It sure doesn't, but I still feel good about it.
>Black Panther
Recommend solely to be able to laugh at stick huts on top of skyscrapers being "afro-futuristic"
>Joker
It's alright but not Joker
>1917
Pretty decent
>OUATIH
Decent for Tarantino
>Dune
Wait for the verdict on part 2 because it's almost fricking nothing by itself
>All quiet on the Western Front
Decent
>Banshees of Inisherin
A little boring to some types probably but good
>Top Gun
One of the best sequels that has no reason at all to exist
Yeah, they're all shit as Oscar winners/nominees always are. There has NEVER been a good movie nominated for an Oscar
>ad for smoking
>it's alright
have a nice day
Oh hey how's it going, guy who virulently hates anything with smoking?
It's going terrible because evil scum like you still exist
This guy, what a card
t. appreciates one note background characters
Which 8? And would you recommend them?
i stopped watching new shit like 10 years ago
Green Book was probably the weakest movie that was nominated that year, but it was an obvious choice for winner considering the preoccupations with those in Hollywood.
Parasite is a great movie, I could've also seen Marriage Story, 1917, Once Upon a Time, or Ford v Ferrari winning.
Nomadland was Oscar bait but the only other movie on the list I saw from that year was Promising Young Woman, and it was better than that.
I don't know anything about anything about the 2021 selections, except that Dune was solid but not great, and not a likely Oscar winner in any case. How's Nightmare Alley? Didn't see CODA, but it seems like the type of movie they'd give an Oscar to.
I haven't seen any of the movies for 2022 except for Triangle of Sadness, which was good fun but not really an Oscar-worthy movie.
>Nomadland was Oscar bait
never a movie like that won an oscar before
>Green Book was probably the weakest movie that was nominated that year, but it was an obvious choice for winner considering the preoccupations with those in Hollywood.
Ironically I remember a lot of Liberal seethe at the time because it wasn't 'frick whitey' enough and b***hing that Viggo was a 'white savior'.
>Nomadland was Oscar bait
microbudget indie movie about a topic no one gives a frick about. Yeah, that sounds like an oscar bait
female director, female lead, subtle character drama
it's Moonlight for women
>female director, female lead, subtle character drama
you have 80IQ
>female director, female lead, subtle character drama
sounds like an oscar bait. Female directors are constantly winning oscars, almost every year. It's a safe bet
guess Moonlight wasnt oscar bait either then right?
moonlight was great
oscar bait needs to be bad?
Roma
1917
Sound of Metal
Belfast
Banshees of Inisherin
What happened in 2018 where we needed to have THREE movies about the "black experience" nominated for the oscars?
Only 1 of the best picture winners is any good, the rest suck.
>Greenbook
>Nomadland
>CODA
How they frick do movies like these win so often? They are forgettable movies that exist just to have people campaign them for Oscars.
Apparently the Oscars are very political behind the scenes and directors and studios do a lot of lobbying for votes.
It's exactly like the way you get roles; all ass kissing and layers of connections.
How do you think Leonardo DiCaprio won an Oscar for a movie where his regular scene partner routinely acted circles around him? It's a popularity contest and lobbying/signaling platform, nothing more.
Forgettable? They were good. No Paddington 2, sure, definitely no Pixels, but they were good.
CODA's the most surprising win, since it's essentially just a straightforward slice of life movie about a loving heterosexual white family.
Amazing it snuck through in the Current Year political climate - I guess deafness ticks boxes that would otherwise be filled with blackening or gaying the story.
If Cinemaphile could vote for them fricking Terrifier and Terrifier 2 would have won so this board has no right to complain
Both of those movies were at least enjoyable, the 2nd especially.
If I have to go by nominations, I'd go
>The Favourite
>Parasite (barely winning, strong year)
>[don't really thing any one of them stands out, really weak year/nominations]
>Drive My Car (by far)
>Avatar
If I can pick my own movies, I'd go
>Burning
>Parasite
>Minari
>Drive my Car or The Worst Person in the world
>Avatar
How many of those movies had any lasting cultural impact?
Unironically just Joker.
Damn 2020 was a shit year!
