Trebor. 03.09.23	Which winner is your favorite and which one is your most hated? Favorite: Moonlight Most hated: A Beautiful Mind
Ryus 03.09.23	bladee is gonna win best picture
Ryus 03.09.23	god looking at all of these next to each other shows just how terrible the oscars are lmao. i really disliked birdman tbh. parasite is my fave here out of the ones ive seen and its not even close. need to see no country for old men
Trebor. 03.09.23	Also who you rooting for this year? I love Everything Everywhere all at Once and Banshees equally.
Ryus 03.09.23	banshees for me def. i liked EEAAO but found parts of it quite annoying but crimes of the future was my favorite movie of the year and its gonna win despite not being nominated. thats my prediction
Trebor. 03.09.23	a lot of these suck, yeah Crimes of the Future was a bit much for me. I've never been a big Cronenberg guy tho
Zac124 03.09.23	I am rooting for EEAAO and Banshees. Don't mind who wins out of them though. The Northman was snubbed for a nomination (and would have been my pick for the Oscar too). The Oscars were actually right in 2003 and 2019. They are two of my favourite films ever made.
Ryus 03.09.23	the fact that PTA hasnt won for any of his 2000s/2010s films is tragic. the master, phantom thread, and there will be blood are all incredible, phantom thread in particular for me.
YoYoMancuso 03.09.23	The Hurt Locker is maybe the worst movie I've ever seen
Trebor. 03.09.23	Have you seen Wish Upon?
JoyfulPlatypus 03.09.23	2014 should've been the year of Whiplash and I refuse to be told otherwise
AeniasGaming 03.09.23	still mad it went to fish sex movie instead of Lady Bird
YoYoMancuso 03.09.23	"2014 should've been the year of Whiplash and I refuse to be told otherwise" [2]
Zac124 03.09.23	Really not sure how Another Round or Sound of Metal did not win 2020.
Trebor. 03.10.23	Judas and the Black Messiah was really good that year too
twlight 03.10.23	Man, there will be blood vs no country for old men is a tough head to head. I'd go TWBB tho, wish it won. It did win best cinematography rightly so.
combustion07 03.10.23	I've still somehow never seen There Will Be Blood but it's mention on this list has reminded me I should probably fucking do that already
Gameofmetal 03.10.23	I'm catching up on some different entries, but Aftersun was the most moving picture for me. It actually ruined my life after the credits rolled, I was sad and then I went and laid in bed for an hour and progressively entered a heightened state of Despair with a capital D.
SteakByrnes 03.10.23	Moonlight is an incredible movie and deserved it the most out of every winner imo
Sinternet 03.10.23	"Judas and the Black Messiah was really good that year too" imagine making the most sanitised possible story on that topic and not getting your oscar, how embarrassing
TalonsOfFire 03.10.23	The Oscars were actually right in 2003 and 2019 [2]. 2007 too, much as I love TWWB. Crash or Coda would be my least favorite. I actually liked Green Book but there were plenty of better movies that year. Since The Northman and my next few favs weren’t nominated this year, I’m rooting for Tar or Western Front, but don’t expect either to take it.
Trebor. 03.10.23	Aftersun will be remembered a lot better than most of the best pic noms Tar is super good too
unclereich 03.10.23	Parasite is the definition of mid
ConcubinaryCode 03.10.23	The Northman was great but got zero love. I think the director said making it was a miserable experience too
unclereich 03.10.23	Birdman most hated. Context is key here whiplash is a better film in every conceivable way. Everything Iñárritu made in the 2010s was pretentious drivel. Favorite to win is no country. It’s not even close. Even that one was annoying given there will be blood is clearly a better movie.
foxblood 03.10.23	Crash was a mistake
samwise2000 03.10.23	not the shade at la la land that movie slaps
PotsyTater 03.10.23	Interesting list. Lord of the rings and hurt locker are trash tho.
pizzamachine 03.10.23	The King’s Speech is slow af but great.
fogza 03.10.23	Out of the ones I've seen, I'd say million dollar baby, gladiator and birdman were my faves. Green book was really lame.
BAT 03.10.23	00 surprised something like gladiator won but compared to the rest it is probably the most accessible movie, i watch traffic more often but it's also something i wouldnt really put in a best of a year category. 01 only seen clips of a beautiful mind actually, otherwise i'd go with fellowship of the ring even if its one of the weaker of the trilogy. 02 i'd go with two towers don't really remember a thing about chicago, still need to watch the pinist. 03 finally tlor wins, the rest of the noms are just good. 04 million dollar baby isn't my fav eastwood or sports movie, i'd probably give it to the aviator. 05 crash is fucking garbage, i also havent gotten around to brokeback but capote/goodnight/munich are all better than crash. 06 departed, love scorssese but not his best movie, excellent dicapprio performance. 07 saw country and three will be blood in the same weekend annd back then i would've said country, but nowadays i'd probably go with blood. 08 only one of these i saw was benjamin button annd it was good but wouldnt call it a classic. 2009 hurt lockers good but i'd give it to inglourious basterds. 2010 kings speech doesn't hold up as well considering the cancellation of the lead actor/standard oscar-bait movie otherwise, i'd go with social network. 11 the artist is the best out of those. 12 legit have seen none of these. 13 only seen gravity and wolf annd neither i'd give best picture but theyre good. 14 i've only seen american sniper and couldn't take it seriously as anything other than a propaganda piece. 15 fury road ftw. 16 saw hell or highwater that was pretty good but still not a ten outta ten. 2017 lol shape of water won? i liked it but dunkirk was pretty wild. 2018 vice is the only one i've seen and it was like 3/4. 2019 parasite is far better than the joker and will always be. jojo rabit and 1917 were also better and still need to see hollywood/irishman. 2020 seen none. 2021 seen none. 2022 i bet it'll go to all quiet on the western front, or top gun.
izakaya 03.10.23	That run in the 00s to early 10s (NCFOM excluded) was fuckin bleaaak. Disagree on Spotlight and they kinda killed it for about 5 years before shitting the bed with Green Book (seriously wtf). Nomadland or Parasite would be my picks here. You forgot Argo in 2012 btw, although think a lot of people have tbf. Some based picks for your faves as well with Shiva Baby, Blue Ruin, Burning and The Host.
izakaya 03.10.23	Banshees for this year. Haven't seen women talking, all quiet or fabelmans yet though.
fogza 03.10.23	What I'd pick out of the nominees I've seen 2000: I think Gladiator is one of the best movies of its type, so fair enough. Traffic is the better movie. 2001: I would have gone with Moulin Rouge 2002: The Hours 2003: Lost in Translation 2004: Million Dollar Baby 2005: Good night and good luck 2006: Little Miss Sunshine 2007: Michael Clayton 2008: Frost / Nixon but it definitely overplays the importance of the events 2009: Up or District 9 2010: Inception 2011: Moneyball 2012: I dunno none of the films I've seen from this year were particularly good. Maybe Life of Pi if you held a gun to my head 2013: American Hustle was a good time I guess. 2014: I actually did like Birdman but I preferred the Grand Budapest Hotel 2015: Mad Max Fury Road all the way 2016: The only movies I saw out of these was Hacksaw Ridge and Arrival, and I HIGHLY doubt either of those was the best choice available. 2017: Dunkirk 2018: Nothing I saw this year could be remotely considered prizeworthy. 2019: I guess Parasite but I think it's overrated 2020: I didn't see any of these 2021: Only movie I saw was Dune
brainmelter 03.10.23	2019 was a disgustingly good year for movies
Cimnele 03.10.23	i was gonna defend crash before i realized i was thinking of a different movie called crash lol
IsisScript80 03.10.23	^ That, I assume is the crash-a-car-and-get-an-orgasm flick, right?
Cimnele 03.10.23	yeah :3 excellent film
wojodta 03.10.23	Films nowadays are pretty terrible IMO. Haven't seen a truly great new movie in at least 5 years, maybe even 10. 8's prolly my fave here though.
izakaya 03.10.23	^everyone agree that this is worthy of an 'ok boomer'
YoYoMancuso 03.10.23	No Country vs. There Will Be Blood really is an excruciating matchup. Both are incredibly worthy but I lean slightly more towards No Country
IsisScript80 03.10.23	"^everyone agree that this is worthy of an 'ok boomer'" 100% agree. "No Country vs. There Will Be Blood really is an excruciating matchup. Both are incredibly worthy but I lean slightly more towards No Country" 100% agree.
wojodta 03.10.23	portrait of a lady on fire's good though. i thought that came out longer ago. never liked there will be blood. i think no country is far superior.
Trebor. 03.10.23	whoops, forgot to paste Argo
TalonsOfFire 03.11.23	I'd pick 2000: Gladiator out of the nominees, which won, but of the whole year my fav was Memento. 2001: A Beautiful Mind was great, but LotR all the way. 2002: Chicago really won... Once again, LotR. City of God best of the year tho. 2003: Best movie of all time rightfully won! 2004: Slightly prefer Sideways to Million $ Baby, but was fine with the latter winning. My fav of the whole year is Eternal Sunshine. 2005: Worst best picture winner in decades, Crash, out of some solid nominees. I’d go with Good Night, Good Luck. But Harry Potter 4 is best of the year. 2006: I love Little Miss Sunshine, but The Departed rightfully won. Best Scorsese that’s endlessly rewatchable. Prestige is my fav of all. Fantastic year for movies. 2007: Very close with TWWB, both are masterpieces, but NCFOM rightfully won. 2008: Out of the nominees I agree with Slumdog winning, but c’mon, Dark Knight is easily the best and wasn’t even nominated. 2009: Hurt Locker was great, but Inglorious Basterds was my fav of the whole year. 2010: King’s Speech was pretty good but c’mon, best picture? Inception no doubt.
TalonsOfFire 03.11.23	2011: Another ok winner, The Artist. Shoulda been The Descendants, Moneyball 2nd. Best of the year was Drive. 2012: Argo is fune, but Django and Beasts were right there. Dark Knight Rises is my fav. 2013: Her = best movie of the decade. 12 Years a Slave was a respectable win tho. 2014: Just like 2007, it was between two masterpieces. I slightly love Whiplash over Birdman, but still very happy it won. 2015: Adequate but milquetoast winner when Room, The Revenant, and Mad Max: Fury Road were right there. The latter by far my fav. 2016: Fav is The Witch but that’d never be nominated, so Arrival. Moonlight was okay I s'pose. 2017: Solid but clichéd Shape of Water, I woulda picked Dunkirk. Of all, Blade Runner 2049. 2018: Not the best nominees, and I liked Green Book, but there was A Star is Born and The Favourite. Annihilation best of all year. 2019: Best movie of the year actually won! Great year. 2020: Nomadland was very good, but Promising Young Woman was better. Out of all, Tenet. 2021: Coda = lame, Dune all the way, but The Green Knight is my fav of the year. 2022: Not the best roster. My pick would be Tar. But The Northman is by far my fav of the whole year. EEAAO would be a respectable win even tho I didn’t love it, but liked a lot.
Egarran 03.11.23	Good list and I agree with about 95% of your comments. That's unheard of. Mostly disagree with The Shape Of Water, couldn't make it through that one. My biggest shames are not having seen Parasite and Moonlight. This year I've only seen EEAAO but damn it was good. Oh and Fogza will kick yalls ass over Whiplash. Only fascists like that movie.
DocSportello 03.11.23	I had never heard of Argo until I heard it won best picture and then I forgot until today
TalonsOfFire 03.12.23	Am I crazy for not thinking Chicago, Moulin Rouge, Portrait of a Lady on Fire, Aftersun, Drive My Car, Decision to Leave, Shiva Baby, Roma, Coda, Elvis, The Square, Booksmart, Da 5 Bloods, Midnight in Paris, or Three Billboards are any higher than 5/10?
DocSportello 03.12.23	John told me Cunk on Earth should win best picture and he's right
Trebor. 03.13.23	who watching right now?
unclereich 03.13.23	I am! I’m so happy for JLC!
TalonsOfFire 03.13.23	Me as well, and happy for the supporting wins for EEaaO, Pinocchio, and AQotWF. Most of my guesses have been right so far. Cool that The Whale won makeup too, well deserved.
unclereich 03.13.23	yea that was unexpected. did you know that the elephant man(1980) was nominated for best makeup and lost?
TalonsOfFire 03.13.23	I actually watched that for the first time a couple weeks ago, great movie. I remember reading that the category didn’t exist yet and people were outraged the make-up wasn’t honored somehow, which actually caused the category to be invented the following year right?
Gyromania 03.13.23	Boyhood may have taken a lot of dedication but I didn't find watching it particularly rewarding. Kind of an exhausting viewing experience
Gyromania 03.13.23	"Treb’s fave: Burning/The Favourite." Exact same facvourites as me, and I'm not sure which of the two I'd say is better
unclereich 03.13.23	@talon i was just watching an interview with lynch about it and you’re right, I got that bit confused. Still crazy how it didn’t win a single Oscar
Sharenge 03.13.23	plz no spoiler
unclereich 03.13.23	Brendan Fraser winning made watching this all worth it. Unbelievable, what a beautiful man.
Rowan5215 03.13.23	Banshees was a better movie but I'm glad EEAAO swept, definitely deserved it. Hsu not getting a award is some absolute bullshit though also A Serious Man is so underrated it baffles me
unclereich 03.13.23	jlc had the legacy factor on her side and was a big reason for that movie getting the initial attention it did. certainly not the most deserving for that role but im glad she finally got an award.
Storm In A Teacup 03.13.23	I've only seen 4 of these movies lmao. Most of these I've never even heard of.
Gameofmetal 03.13.23	I ended up thinking EEAAO was pretty overrated but at the same time a really fun thrill ride with heart. The silliness and logic of it is very overbearing though.
TalonsOfFire 03.13.23	Totally agreed. EEaaO was very good but not even my fav of the best pic nominees. Still happy for it winning since it’s a very ambitious, original, inventive film. I’m fine with Banshees, Triangle, Fabelmans, and Aftersun winning nothing cause none of them were that impressive to me, tho Fabelmans was pretty good, but I wish Tar would’ve gotten something; my fav of the best pic nominees. Out of every movie nominated for something tho, my two favs were both animated, Marcel and Pinocchio.
