Shakespeare in Love
This. Private Ryan losing is to me the reason Weinstein went to jail.
Adulthood is realizing Saving Private Ryan is slop just like Shakespeare in love. There was no reason for it to win best picture, and no amount of Omaha-beach gore porn will change that.
the thin red line then
You sound like a homosexual
The Blowjob Adventures of Dr Fellatio 14
Wasn't even nominated.
Kerry Condon last year. Jamie Lee Curtis won over her.
It's funny because most of twitter can't agree on who should have won besides that Curtis shouldn't have even been nominated.
Paul Giamatti in Sideways wasn't even fricking nominated. Both of his co-stars were nominated. Johnny Depp was nominated over him for Finding Neverland.
Peter o Toole not getting best actor for Lawrence of arabia. Richard burton not getting best actor for who's afraid of virginia woolf
>Peter O'Toole
>Richard burton
Those two guys had 15 nominations between them for zero wins though they eventually gave O'Toole an honorary one.
Gwyneth Patrol winning over the old lady from Central Station, this one specially made no sense because she was the worse one of the three nominees
main nominees*
>made no sense
goop was fricking big bad harv
This one still hurts for us HUEs... Fricking Goop...
I still think Cate should have got it for Elizabeth.
Transformers not winning Best VFX in 2007
Cate Blanchett not winning Best Actress for Tar.
Hugo winning for Best Special Effects over Rise of the Planet of the Apes.
People let out a collective sigh when it was announced that the apes would CGI in new Apes movie, but everyone shut up when footage was released.
I suspect Hugo only won because it's a Martin Scorsese movie.
>caring about israelite giving each other awards
have a nice day
Tron Legacy and Daft Punk should have won for Best Score, but it wasn't even nominated.
The Academy is such bullshit. The shortlist of movies that are watched by the members are drafted from movies studios put forward during award season. The awards arent representative of actual quality. There's also some bullshit where an actor or actress will get nominated for appearing in a well liked academy film despite their acting no being particularly of note.
Already by 1930s they started awarding wrong films and most of them are forgotten today.
so the academy awards literally never mattered at any point in time. got it.
There has been so much dumb shit over the years.
Basically all the big winners over the last decades have been wiped from the public consciousness almost immediately. It's such a pointless thing now.
Parasite.
Coraline not getting best animation
But to be fair, that year had a lot of amazing animated movies
Taylor Swift getting it and not Rihanna
every year Disney gets best animated film
Fricking Netflix beat them last year and they won't win this year either. The Disney era is beyond over
That’s only cause the academy sucks Del Toro’s dick + Disney films becoming so lifeless that not even normies enjoy them anymore. The second they put out a 6/10 movie with a viral song the award will go back to being their personal participation trophy.
Last decade based on how remembered by both audiences and critics each film is.
>The King's Speech
>The Artist
>Argo
Completely forgotten.
>12 Years a Slave
Still liked by the critics, audiences also liked it, pretty Oscar baity.
>Birdman
I think people remember it better than the critics, hardly a classic.
>Spotlight
Forgotten.
>Moonlight
Still loved by the critics, considered one of the best movies of 2010s.
>The Shape of Water
Forgotten.
>Green Book
Forgotten.
>Parasite
Loved by Critics and audiences.
So, it's 2, maybe 3 out of 10 (Moonlight, Parasite, maybe 12 Years a Slave).
I actually really enjoy The King's Speech but maybe it's because i've struggled with public speaking my entire life. I don't remember if the competition was weak that year or what but it's a well made movie, maybe just a boring winner
The biggest one was by far Inception. Then The Social Network, Toy Story 3. Even Black Swan, 127 Hours, True Grit seem like a better choice.
I don't know if 127 Hours is popular among normal people, but this board can't shut up about it.
No chance Inception would win but I'm sure they'll give Nolan his due this year. Social Network is the only one I think more deserving there...even though I love True Grit.
King's Speech is a solid movie, Anon. I also struggle with stuttering and it was heartwarming to see some representation.
Same here, although I think the Social Network deserved best picture, I wasn't too disapointed when Kings Speech won since it was also one of my favorite of the year. And if anything they're both remembered fondly so at least there's that.
The kings speech is a good movie
The awards are comparative though. If everything that came out in the forgotten years was worse than the winners, then it's not really a steal.
The King's Speech is good though. One of the more memorable performances from Geoffrey Rush. Moonlight was better than what most people here said, but that was more because Naomie Harris hard carried that mess of a plot.
>The Shape of Water
>Forgotten.
I dunno, there's one scene at the start of The Shape of Water I keep cumming back to...
But talking of Sally Hawkings Both Paddington 1 and 2 really should have won Oscars.
The trouble is films that make you smile, are aimed at all ages and have an overwhelming positive message are always overlooked at the Oscars.
>Hello I am a diner owner who has shown no hatred towards anyone
>Hello diner owner, I am a gay man in the 50s. Let's date.
>Oh, no thanks I'm not gay
>Ah, damn. Can you make this a bit easier to cope with by suddenly turning extremely racist and yelling at the black couple that just happened to walk in just now?
>Sure thing bud
Yeah... That's not the scene I meant.
I know, that's just the scene I remember from it.
>films that make you smile, are aimed at all ages and have an overwhelming positive message are always overlooked at the Oscars
Surely they will at least have to nominate something from Wonka for best original Song
I've never met anyone in real life who saw moonlight or had anything to say about it at all. same with 12 years a slave.
>moonlight
>considered one of the best
let me stop u right there. if u or anyone thinks that. You should be banned from expressing ur opinion on movies.
>1950
>Best Actress in a Leading Role
not giving it to Gloria Swanson for Sunset blvd. or Bette Davis for All about Eve
that was some bullshit.
Agreed. The 23rd Academy Awards was truly a cluster frick from start to finish
Sean Austin getting snubbed for his role in Rerturn of the King. Sean Penn has enough fricking Oscars holy shit
sean penn is cia
austin isn't
Award shows are not merit based so caring about them is stupid.
By the way your post won thousands of awards I just made up so congrats
Children of Men losing best cinematography to Pan’s Labyrinth
How did The Artist sweep the Oscars that one year and then no one involved has been heard from since? Yeah I know they probably do shit in France but that’s not relevant
The Oscars every year for taking up air time for circle jerking.
Dafoe not being nominated for The Lighthouse
The best film of the year probably has never won its category. In the case of Best Picture, you're lucky if it's even a nominee.
>The best film of the year probably has never won its category
Godfather, Godfather 2, Lawrence of Arabia, Silence of the Lambs and NCFOM were all the best film of their year though I guess Godfather 2 and NCFOM were both in years they were equal best and cases could be made for other films. The other three outright best. Not a great strike rate considering that's over almost 100 years.
Schindler's List was also the best film of its year and beat The Remains of the Day, The Fugitive and The Piano to win Best Picture. Sometimes you really are unlucky what you have to go up against as either of those 3 other films could have been the winner if SL wasn't released then.
Sean Penn winning for Milk instead of Mickey Rourke for the wrestler. Sean Penn literally said that he was given Mickey's award. Also, Rourke won every other major award instead of him
Rourke gave one of the best performances I've ever seen. We shouldn't even remember who else was nominated that year
Mickey Rourke isn't popular in Hollywood. That's literally the only reason the AMPAS didn't give him his award.
That and Hollywood wanted to stick it to those mean anti gay people by awarding the gay movie.
Yep. Personally I think The Wrestler shoyld have won best picture, screenplay, director and actor. It's in my top 5 ever
Rosamund pike gone girl
Joaquin Phoenix gladiator
whoever tomei beat by mistake
not giving leo oscar for the best actor in wolf of wall street
The movie sucked. Why would he deserve an Oscar for a bad movie?
This
The Revenant was the academy subtly saying that he deserved The Wolf of Wall Street Oscar
He should have won for Gilbert Grape too.
In Score, recently, most certainly Babylon losing to All Quite on Western Front.
For me it's Oliver! winning over The Lion In Winter and Peter O'Toole also not winning Best Actor for his performance in that. The Cartoon Saloon still not having won Best Animated Feature yet is pretty silly too. Last year, I would've also preferred anything other than Turning Red to have gotten it instead of Pinocchio.
Good pick.
This too, I don't like it whenever people use whatever award shows arbitrarily nominate as a measuring stick for how good any particular year was and use it as an excuse not to look for lesser known standouts released around the same time. That kind of thing is happening more and more with games as The Game Awards gets bigger and it fricking sucks.
>The Lion In Winter and Peter O'Toole also not winning Best Actor for his performance in that
>Academy Award for Best Actor (1969): Cliff Robertson – Charly as Charly Gordon
>mfw
Eric Roberts Runaway Train
It’s run by israelites. It’s all bribery and robbery.
>ctrl+f Crash
>0 results
Really? That over Brokeback Mountain is ridiculous. I don't even like gays but it's one of the best love stories on film and so much better than every other film that year.
Green Book topped that. I don't give a shit about Brokeback Mountain, Ang Lee made better movies before and since so Crash winning is fine with me.
>Green Book topped that.
By winning over what? I probably would've given it to The Favourite but I don't really think it was a massive robbery. Pretty weak year imo. What do you think was the deserving and obvious winner?
You named it and Roma. Once again, Brokeback is not that exceptionally good to fume over Crash snubbing it when Green Book is actually guilty of all the supposed criticisms people lay at Crash's feet.
>Brokeback is not that exceptionally good
Disagree but each to their own.
My little pony the movie not getting nominated for best original song for open up your eyes while several pieces of actual fricking garbage were
Tron 1983 not winning best visual effects
I think Blade Runner probably has more cause for feeling robbed in the categroy that year even if I love E.T.
Morricone never won an Oscar for best soundtrack
Didn't he win for Hateful Eight?
CODA beating the West Side Story remake
Original movie vs a shit remake no one watched or wanted….
U mad that’s apple was the first streaming service to win best picture?
>Original movie vs a shit remake no one watched or wanted…
I agree that West Side Story is a shite remake no one wanted but CODA is a remake too.
Everyone's time
That one year where Disney’s Big Hero slop won best animated over Ghibli’s tale of Princess Kaguya
Goodfellas not winning best editing. That movie has some of the greatest editing ever and it lost to Dances with Wolves.
On that subject, Bohemian Rhapsody winning Best Editing just because it was the most noticeable editing.
>And (You) must be a big guy
The Grand Budapest Hotel released in 2014.
Best Picture Winner 2014:
Birdman.
Colin Farrell lost because Brendan Fraser put on a fat suit and people fell for the comeback meme.
They would've given it to the Elvis guy. Banshees not winning a single award is just a fricking joke. Aside from best picture I think I'm most pissed about it losing best original screenplay and best supporting actress though. It was the clear best in both.
Your Name losing to Boss Baby, what the frick
The Ghost in the Shell remake winning awards while the original Japanese film didn't get best animated film
only women and homosexuals care about award shows
