Best Picture Winners (2000-2018)

I couldn't either, but I also can't remember anything about any film after 2010 except bits and pieces.

2008 should have been The Wrestler. I agree that every film nominated for best picture that year was mediocre at best.

Possibly the most accurate post in Yea Forums history

Only Lord of the Rings and No Country deserved shit.

>Moulin Rouge
Holy fuck that movie sucked.

what a garbage opinion you have m8

Nice rebuttal faggot.

Sup Douge!

>Gladiator and Beautiful Mind back to back
Crowe is fucking based

You realize it wasn't the Cronenberg film that won an Oscar, right?

The Academy lost any credibility when they gave best picture to a capeshit full of midgets and elfs

>crouching tiger hidden dragon
Has a film ever won both best foreign language film and best picture?

no, they wouldn't allow that

RotK, but what else came out that year? No Country I kind of agree, but There Will Be Blood was better. Birdman had a lot of competition, but it deserves it, it's definitely one of the best films of 2014. All of the other ones I can think of much better films from those years.

>gladiator
deserved it
>beautiful mind
deserved it
>lord of the rings
deserved it
>no country for old men
deserved it
>birdman
deserved it and possibly the best kino in 15 years
the rest are 'shakespeare in love' tier frauds

Hurt locker was not horrible, fuck is wrong with you? That Sniper battle and the bomb vest scene are unforgettable

Comfy thread. What are people’s favorite movies of the last 10 years? Mine are probably Shin Godzilla and Climax. I also loved Whiplash and Birdman.

Whiplash is my absolute favorite movie from the past decade.

>2015: SpotLIGHT
>2016: MoonLIGHT
Was this intentional?

>you will never witness an Oscars where LOTR clean sweeps again

that could never, ever happen today, it more and more feels like a miracle

Spotlight, uh, moonlight, uh
Nigga, why you trippin'? Get your mood right, uh
Shawty look good in the moonlight
All these pussy niggas so bad mind

>t. has never known love and hates knowing he has feelings

underage please leave.

Spotlight was fucking great, an absolute stellar display of acting from everyone involved especially based Keaton.

>t. has never known love and hates knowing he has feelings

>you now remember that Crash won best picture

no country for old men is the only good movie there, yes I see LOTR but that shit is childish, fun but childish

yikes

nah

What a travesty.

: Gladiator
Ok, Crouching Tiger would have been fine too
: A Beautiful Mind
FotR
: Chicago
The Pianist
: Lord of the Rings: Return of the King
That or Master and Commander
: Million Dollar Baby
meh, not a good crop of nominees
: Crash
Brokeback Mountain
: The Departed
ok, would have been fine with The Queen or Babel
: No Country for Old Men
That or There Will Be Blood
: Slumdog Millionare
decent
: The Hurt Locker
That or A Serious Man, Up in the Air was decent, rest are garbage
: The Kings Speech
Black Swan, Inception, The Social Network all strong candidates
: The Artist
Tree of Life, there's no contest
: Argo
Amour, possibly Beasts of the Southern Wild or Zero Dark Thirty
: 12 Years A Slave
Gravity or Philomena or even Nebraska (never had a chance) desu
: Birdman
deserved
: Spotlight
That or The Revenant
: Moonlight
ok
: The Shape of Water
Phantom Thread, it's not even close
: Green Book
Roma or The Favourite

Gladiator, The Departed and NCFOM are the only ones I agree with.

Gangs of NY lmao
movies suck

Lost in Translation should have won in 2003

>2016: Moonlight
>2017: The Shape of Water
>2018: Green Book
The last 3 years have all been terrible.

Why did they start adding more than 5 nominees in 2009? Its dumb, half of the movies nominated are complete trash.

Because muh Dark Knight

Some years Best Picture just shouldn't be awarded. No point trying to deduce some movie to give the award to when none of them really deserve it.

>1995
Heat should have both been nominated and won.

Crash sucked desu
Rest are fine

How did Mad Max Fury Road not win 2015? And how did LotR not win 2001 and 2002?

>Babe

Lol wtf the one with the pig?

Well I'm afraid we can't be friends user

It's kind of nice that way because then you can think of LOTR's 2003 sweep as awarding the whole trilogy. It's all one big movie anyway.

>implying babe isn't kino

2009 should have been Avatar and you all know it

>1981 - "Ordinary People"

> Gladiator
This is a decent choice. It's not the best film of the year by any means but the films that are better are foreign, so they wouldn't get nominated.
> LOTR
Good choice but I liked Master and Commander more.
> No Country for Old Men
Good choice but There Will Be Blood and Assassination of Jesse James were better.
> 12 Years A Slave
Actually quite well made film. Not that pandering.

That's about it. I'm not a big fan of The Departed but I'm glad that Scorsese won.

friendly reminder the original members of the academy were morons without the most basic education. but hey they named themselves Academy so they must have some integrity, right? wrooooong! and i doubt it's any better today.

>Annie Hall beat Star Wars for Best Picture and Beat Director

I will never not be salty.

jesus everything fucking sucked this year

Yeah, pesci is a meme. I mean look at his career.

>Braveheart beating Apollo 13

I have this nagging feeling in the back of my mind that the only reason Spotlight won Best Picture is because Hollywood has had an axe to grind against the Catholic Church for almost 100 years now. I just can't convince myself the movie was good on its own merits.

What was the conspiracy behind shakespeare beating saving private ryan then?

the shape of water is an embarrassment
such a hacky script

Going only by nominations here is who I would have picked

2000 - Gladiator (same)
2001 - A Beautiful Ming (same)... Bad noms though
2002 -The Pianist
2003 - Lost In Translation (ROTK is fine though)
2004 - Million Dollar Baby (bad noms)
2005 - Brokeback Mountain (also Munich and Capote were better)
2006 - The Departed (but Letters from Iwo Jima is neck and neck)
2007 - There Will Be Blood (No Country is a fine winner though)
2008 - Slumdog Millionare (bad noms)
2009 - An Education
2010 - The Social Network
2011 - The Tree of Life (The Artist is good, but also tries too hard at times)
2012 - Amour (also Zero Dark 30 would be fine.. Argo winning was BS).
2013 - Her (I guess?)
2014 - Whiplash (I see the appeal of Birdman though)
2015 - The Revenant
2016 - Manchester By The Sea
2017 - Phantom Thread (Call me by your name would also have been fine).
2018 - ??? Haven't seen enough yet.

Both Shrek 2 and Finding Nemo deserved to win best picture. Anyone who disagrees is objectively incorrect.

I agree Shrek 2 and Finding Nemo were unironically the best movies if their respective years

Are valid winners.

Gladiator is the only one i can say yes confidently

none were my #1 of their years but No Country For Old Men is the best winner in that stretch

Green Book and Crash are the two funniest winners

>be nigger
>make movie complaining about being a nigger
>win best picture

I'm guessing that they got new voters around 2010 because at that point the quality of their selections took a nosedive.

> Gladiator
kino
> A Beautiful Mind
kino, didn't see the twist coming at all
> Chicago
never seen it
> Return of the King
Not exactly my cup of tea, but it's definitely deserving of being called the best movie of a year
> Million Dollar Baby
Decent movie in a weak year.

decent movie in a weak year. Definitely like it better than the other nominees
> The Departed

> No Country for Old Men

>Kings Speech
Absolute shit tier choice. I watched all the nominees that year and literally all of them were better than it.
> The Artist
Shitty hollywood circle jerk movie
> Argo
It's mediocre and I could make a case for it being the worst selection of all the nominees. It's a boring milquetoast choice.
> 12 Years a Slave
a good movie sure, but compared to Wolf of Wall Street, Her, and Captain Phillips, it's shit.
> Birdman
Alright movie. I was just glad Boyhood didn't win. Bonus shit points for Michael Keaton getting cucked.
> Spotlight
not a bad movie, but it's a lame boring choice considering the alternatives.
> Moonlight
boring and only won because of the jigaboo outrage.
> Shape of Water
Cliche and not nearly as good as Blade Runner 2049
> Green Book
Shitty year, okay movie, boring choice. I enjoy that the boring choice has somehow made people outraged though.

have you seen it recently?

cites "jigaboo outrage" over Moonlight while thinking Green Book is an "okay movie"

checks out

>The Postman of all things being nominated
>Shakespear in Love winning
It's still not on the level of bad that's been going on since 2008 but those two stick out as the worst decisions during the 90s.

>The Artist and Green Book
>good
kek, this is the most retarded film board on the Internet

Little plastic awards mean fuck all

Maybe like a third of them are good films, and none of them were the best movie the year they were released.

Pretty much this

It's a genuine 3/4 film that got circlejerked hard both ways.
People declared it a masterpiece (which it wasn't) until it won BP, then they called it shit (which it wasn't) ever since

Crocodile Dundee

Assassination wasn’t nominated. 2007 was an excellent year for cinema in general.

haha, yeah lol, ha. I've seen all of those. Totally

all of this is trash. someone make a nice like char of oscar ratings as well over the course of these years
: Slumdog Millionare
: The Hurt Locker
: The Kings Speech
: The Artist
: Argo
: 12 Years A Slave
: Birdman
: Spotlight
: Moonlight
: The Shape of Water
: Green Book

pesh deserved it

i wouldn't call it a masterpiece, but it's still good
Other years it wouldn't win, but it was probably the best of its year

>2000
Close one between Gladiator and CTHD. I think I would have let the latter take best foreign film.
>2001
Fellowship should have gotten it, but Beautiful Mind isn’t too unworthy
>2002
Not a great year, probably the Pianist
>2003
Good year. Every contender except Seabiscuit would have been worthy imo.
>2004
Okay, don’t think I’ve watched the other noms
>2005
Brokeback mountain was better
>2006
Either Departed or Letters
>2007
NCFOM deservingly won but TWBB and Atonement were both great and would probably have taken other years. Why wasn’t Jesse James nominated?
>2008
never watched any of these movies
>2009
Serious Man was better. Why so many nominations now?
>2010
One of the last strong years and they give it to fucking King’s Speech. Social Network and Perfect Blue American Edition were both better
>2011
I legitimately can’t believe they didn’t give Tree of Life an Oscar. Every Malick film prior to that is also worthy of winning BP imo
>2012
Shit year, shit winner, Amour was okay
>2013
Not much competition, I would have been okay with Her or Gravity but they weren’t great either
>2014
Meh but nothing else is great
>2015
Awful, should have been Revenant, even fucking Fury Road is better
>2016
Easily MBTS
>2017
Phantom Thread or CMBYN
>2018
Haven’t seen Green Book. Roma and Favorite are decent I guess

are you serious?

2000 had Yi Yi, In the Mood for Love, Werckmeister Harmonies, You Can Count On Me, The Circle, George Washington, Bamboozled, Chuck and Buck, etc

Gladiator, Return of the King, The Departed, No Country For Old Men, 12 Years A Slave, Moonlight were good, rest are not the best of the year

Pretty much all terrible schlock. no real ‘kino’

Return of the king was the worst lort film
weinstein produced them all
stop being npcs and take the redpill
none of these winners are actually good

there will be blood was better than no country for old men

chicago, a beautiful mind, million dollar baby, the depated, crash, the hurt locker, the kings speech, the artist, argo, birdman, spotlight, the shape of water, green book are all unironic dishonest trash oscarbait

They weren’t nominated

>all this gladiator hate
I knew Yea Forums had shit taste but wow

>prisioner of azkaban
?

Do you not know who Alfonso cuaron is? That year was weak and its better than million dollar baby. Stop being a snob

must be nice to be so pleb

>defends such a shitty movie in million dollar baby
>literally a crash tier movie
Look in the mirror NPC pleb

They've only ever given the best movie of the year best picture like three times ever

Silence of the lambs, godfather 2, Amadeus

That's it

I never said anything about Million Dollar. Though it's a pretty good movie but nowhere near Clint's best. But you seem to like Cuaron which is a bad reflection on you. His only good movie is Children of Men.

The oscars couldn't be more worthless for about 3 decades now

user prisoner of azkaban is fantastic and so is children of men.
gravity is the one that is bad. azkaban is better than gravity.
Azkaban children of men and roma are better than 90% or of those 20 actual winners it isn't even funny.

Killing of a Sacred Deer is good for 30 minutes then it quickly becomes one of the worst movies every made

Roma sucks. Cuaron makes intellectually bankrupt movies. His only good one is Children of Men because the ridiculously heightened aesthetic of that movie doesn't entirely clash with its genre trappings as an action movie.

Azkaban better directed than hacksons TTT and ROTK. it and children of men are great films in general.
Roma didn't suck, it was better than the other oscar noms by such a degree it was slightly embarrassing desu

I mean this was one of the worst years for Oscar noms this decade. None of the best movies of the year were nominated for Best Picture. And even though I like Cuaron I think Roma was basically soulless bourgeois bullshit

>The Killing of a Sacred Deer
overrated.

You think it was bourgeois? I think it was him making a movie he wanted to make the way he wanted to make it, which shows how rare that actually is since black fucking panther was nominated along side it and blackklansman and other shit like lady gaga the movie and queen the movie

Way better than BR2049 or the shape of water which are more overrated

If it won the Oscar for best couple of scenes, I might let it go.
The movie was garbage.

no conspiracy, weinstein just better at gathering support

weinstein rigging it like he did many times

>Gladiator
Fun film, why not?
>Return of the King
Kino, I don't care if it's a blockbuster.
>Crash
Haven't seen it, but the Cronenberg film of the same name is kino, and I appreciate the chance this victory gave me to start conversations about it.
>The Departed
I enjoyed it.
>Slumdog Millionaire
Feel good garbage, it would not be well-received today.
>The King's Speech
I enjoyed it.
>The Artist
Hollywood jacking off.
>Argo
Fun film, why not?
>12 Years A Slave
Politically, the only choice they could make. Good movie either way.
>Birdman
One of the best films of the 21st century, so good that it landed a victory despite roasting Hollywood.
>Spotlight
Fascinating, and anyone who says otherwise is a butthurt Catholic or pedophile.
>Moonlight
It bored me out of my mind, I guess I just didn't get it..
>The Shape of Water
Great eye candy, touching story. Why not?

Your entire post is pure contrarian pretentious edgy Yea Forums garbage so if we flip what you think 180 degrees we get a somewhat accurate assessment of these movies

The Other Side of the Wind and Inherent Vice.

What the fuck you arent allowed to have good opinions on this site what are you doing

>Lord of the Rings
Its the worst of the 3 and even got best editing, despite having terrible editing, it was fixed.
Beautiful mind is one of my fav movies, it deserved it.

I thought it kept getting better after 30 minutes until the end, until the last scene, that last scene in the diner was dogshit but everything else i liked

fellowship is the best lotr film and pretty much the only one that deserved best picture
rotk did have shit editing and pacing and writing and scenes in general besides frodo, sam and gollum

They got a clean sweep that year my dude, pretty much everyone understood that was them saying "yeah you should have won every year but you got this instead so the other movies wouldnt look so shit in comparison"

Haven't seen the last BP winners and don't intend to

>return of the king
>kino
it isn't it's fucking poor compared to the first two.

No pretty much every retard ate up that as the reasoning
it was weinstein wanting his awards

The Shape of Water is utter garbage.
Moonlight, Spotlight and The Artist are all mediocre, totally forgettable and not close to the best thing nominated in their respective years.

Whatever helps you sleep at night moron
you forgot to add (((these))) around weinstein too

Like user pointed out it won editing and had shit editing it was fixed because weinstein got everyone to agree
It's actually pretty sad that you think it's acceptable to give a different movie thats inferior 13/13 awards because the first movie deserved best picture

they didnt award any acting academy awards to lotr for three films that shows what they really thought of them to begin with, just meme awards really

Its more like the first movie deserved at least 7, the second deserved at least 5, and the third deserved at least 3. But since even the oscar crowd is smarter than you, they realized that pouring awards over LoTR every year would get stale so they kept it on the downlow until it was over.
Youre so predictably boring when you keep looking for conspiracies and controversies when shit like this always has a very simple reason

>single fact that supports that
Supports what the shit editing? Viggo mortensen confirming that they had reshoots after extra money from fellowship..fellowship is the only one that is edited well and paced well because of the narrative inherently....the sequels get worse and by rotk hackson is showing hobbit tier shit and crutching on cliche left and right, quipping kill counts
literal capeshit tier stuff.

>they realized that pouring awards over LoTR every year would get stale so they kept it on the downlow until it was over.
Right thats why they clogged up the categories with giving fellowship and ttt noms, not because those films were genuine contenders to win but because they werent ever going to give lotr award until the final movie

stop it already, every single film is different, in series this is true.

Come on now show me a single leak or article or whatever saying that weinstein "influenced" the committee
Im sure you can do it

>thats why they clogged up the categories with giving fellowship and ttt noms
Yeah what do you think would happen if they ignored them completely retard?
Honest question are you a flat earther

>weinstein produced movies
>after saving private ryan lost to shakespeare in love
>show me the proof that weinstein rigged it
He had already done so

>2007
soft cut
>2012
hard cut

why does this board love the lotr shit so much

: Slumdog Millionare
lmao forgot about this

Titanic was fucking garbage on parade.

>fellowship of the ring is a grape
>the two towers is an apple
>return of the king is a strawberry
>you know what that grape was so good im gonna award this strawberry as best picture 13/13 awards baby

literally defeats the purpose of the awards

Im still waiting retard

because this board is /r/movies which overrates star wars and lotr more than everything
they also love marvel and dc most of the time

Because not everyone on this board is a stupid faggot with shitty taste.

Hey I never said the Oscars had any integrity or real artistic worth in the first place buddy boy
But thats why they did what they did. Anyone looking for any deeper "real" reasons is either autistic or a poltard or both

Brokeback mountain not winning verified that the award was now meaningless.

>movies that deserve to get awarded
>saving private ryan fellowship of the ring
>dont get awarded

>the ones that don't deserve it get awarded
>shakespeare in love, return of the king

Wonder if there could ever be a reason for this utter lack of meritocracy being displayed by a jewish industry, ignore weinstein of course

departed was goat

Becuase its based on one of the greatest bookseries of all time and the movies made them more appealing to the masses

And inb4 someone says im not patrician enough in my booktastes, yeah no you just dont understand them if you cant see why tolkiens works are so great

>saving private ryan
>not a popular jew flick

But Crash was good, it demonstrated how dysfunctional, unworkable and undesirable multiculturalism is

Yeah you keep repeating that and treating it as fact because you like putting (((these))) around peoples names but its still just your dumbass conjecture

the reason is this, the oscars are a meme

>Gladiator
>pure garbage
t. Commodus

You really gonna argue that shakespeare in jew was a better film than saving private ryan?

There Will Be Blood should have won over No Country

The Lotr films are a really dull take on the book. Shouldn't have expected better from the guy who !ade Brain Dead.

Yeah, so?
Thats irrelevant to the fact that retards keep insisting Weinstein used Jew Magic to win awards that were well deserved after being snubbed for two years in a row.
Ive already explained their reasoning its not any more complex than that

You do realize that Spielberg directed Private Ryan right? Was his Jew Magic more powerful or what?

>made them more appealing to the masses
somehow implying this is a good thing.
lotr movies were basically capeshit.
completely shit on the books. the only reason why they aren't as bad as the hobbit movies is that jackson was limited with the cgi technology

>Gladiator
>garbage
Roastie detected

They awarded spielberg best picture for the jew movie
then don't award him for his actual best picture of the year and one of the best wwii films for some fan fiction period piece

The catolog 24 hours a day seven days a week for years and years proves you utterly fucking wrong
you dumb NPC pleb

I was in high school when it came out tried watching it but it was so laughable even back then. I know racism is bad i didnt need hollywood to tell me.

Ridley Scott is a hack who lacks the depth to make anything award worthy.

You still dont see how many hoops you are jumpin through just because you refuse to accept the simplest explanation?

Munich deserved it a thousand times more than crash and i dont even care for Jews.

Prometheus and Alien Covenant were better than Titanic and Aliens

great:
No Country for Old Men, The Departed, Birdman, 12 Years a Slave
good:
Return of the King, Gladiator, The Hurt Locker, Million Dollar Baby
decent:
The Artists, A Beautiful Mind, Slumdog Millionaire, Argo, The Shape of Water
mediocre:
The King's Speech, Green Book, Moonlight, Spotlight
shit:
Chicago, Crash

It was really boring and pretentious. Is it sad
That halfway through I said "this is really bad. Did a woman make this?"

They were good movies you contrarian dullard
If youre seriously comparing the LoTR trilogy with the marvel cinematic universe youre legit retarded
Yes, Gimlis character got a bit butchered for example, so what? You wanted every character to talk like they did in the books and bore the audience to tears with that shitty prose? Pure autism.

shut up and get back in the kitchen.

the directing is fucking shit in most of TTT and ROTK let it go
hackson is a shit director who lucked out with fellowship

15 year old me loved it when it came out but those unforgettable scenes you mentioned I honestly can't recall. Ended up being a pretty forgettable movie desu.

I was 11 when that happened and my first thought was somebody got paid off because one of those two should have won easily. Little did i know Harvey Weinstein would later admit he bribed and bullied SIL to get the Oscar.

None of them are great movies

nice argument bro keep that hateboner strong Im out

Bloodsport the Van Damme movie won best picture? Shit I've really gotta get around to watching that.

Yeah Idk how the fuck it beat the revenant

>hating on the lotr films
We've reached peak contrarian. Back to /fit/.

Harvey politcked his way to an Oscar.

I agree with Birdman, Argo, No Country, Lord of the Rings, and maybe Hurt Locker, rest are debatable

Ill Postino =/= The Postman

>2008: Slumdog Millionare
You can pinpoint exact moment the diversity carousel began.

No, Bloodsport won a Razzie that year, but Rain Man won best picture in 1989.
You should still watch Bloodsport, though.

Back to /r/movies you all never had film taste it's unreal.

Is a great place to work

Shortbus is in the list of top 10 unironically literally gayest films ever made, faggot.

These awards are given by their peers, which translates to a bunch of left lib cunts and cucks, right? So why are we surprised by this list?

I'm talking about gay of the soul, not the body, tardo

Birdman was dogshit bro

It went full gay and encompasses being gay in every sense of the word even though it attempted to do so unironically, it was too gay to be limited in its gayness.

>2000: Hollow Man
Based and rapepilled.

look at all that Jewish propaganda!

The academy is fake and gay, they don't have a clue

Yeah spotlight sucked dude, even for a movie of its type. It was fucking boring

Abiding shitty taste since 2012.

no, those some movies are fine but not deserved to win an oscar.

Shakespeare in Love is probably the worst fucking schlock to ever win.

I had to look up Shakespeare in Love on Wikipedia the other day just to confirm that two best actress nominations were given for playing Queen Elizabeth I in the same year. As soon as I saw his name I figured he was up to some shady shit to screw Saving Private Ryan out of that award.

Hacksaw was the better war movie in 2016, but Dunkirk was the better movie-movie.

>birdman, green book, ROTK are 10/10s

All true except Green Book

Birdman isn’t even as good as Inarritu’s next film and ROTK is certainly weaker than FOTR.

>the Artist
that was one of the most oscar-bait movies ever made

Literally nobody has ever seen the English patient.

the oscars are a joke. Florida Project didn't get the BP nominee.

Didley Snott's salvaged scrap from the trash compactor.

Jennifer Connelly is the only reason to watch this, maybe even mute it white watching.
: Chicago
Musicals haven't been good since the 80's, just stop already.
: Lord of the Rings: Return of the King
Not even the best of the trilogy, nor the best of the year, Hackson in cabal with the voters.
: Million Dollar Baby
It's Rocky but with women, so no action just drama. Think of Stallone shouting Adrian for two whole hours.
: Crash
Aptly describes the Oscars with its title, unfortunately doesn't describe the film. A crash would be interesting to watch, this wasn't.
: The Departed
Aptly describes the cinema goes when the film starts. Departing from this film before it has ended is the only right way to see it, otherwise you're just shooting yourself in the foot.
: No Country for Old Men
Coen's thought it to be funny to be vague but still obvious. It comes off as a that child in the playground banging on the bucket making sand cakes and when he lifts it off, it just collapses on itself.
: Slumdog Millionare
No street shitting pajeet who eats cardboard boxes for breakfast can have that good of a memory. A pure fantasy film that was being peddled as a drama / romance. At least the romance was right, love for money.
: The Hurt Locker
For being made by a woman, it is surprisingly okay. For being a film, it's surprisingly bad. We should stop this mentality of giving retards participation trophies.
: The Kings Speech
Acting good, the story forgettable. Did it deserve the Oscar? Probably not, but I guess in the end they have to give the Oscar to someone.
: The Artist
Didn't watch it, so I'm assuming it's absolute garbage for not making a blip in my radar.
: Argo
Actually left the theater mid-way, I saw Taken 2 playing on the next one so I went there.

>2013: 12 Years A Slave
Perfectly describes what it felt like while watching this film, so I guess it succeeded in making me empathize with niggers.
>2014: Birdman
It's a film circlejerking the concept of circlejerk, it's quite meta. Unfortunately I'm not gay and don't enjoy guzzling cum. I assume it's celebrated in the pride movements.
>2015: Spotlight
Pot calling the kettle black.
>2016: Moonlight
At first it felt like I was watching a good depiction of life in Chicago, then suddenly it turned into Gayniggers from Outer Space, but it wasn't funny, so I left.
>2017: The Shape of Water
Guillermo has lost his mojo. Too bad the Academy think losing your mojo means you're getting better.
>2018: Green Book
Two leads are good, one of those films that give you brownie points for mentioning it. Did it deserve the Oscar? At this point, no film deserves the Oscar, not because of merit, but because the Oscar is a synonym for Jamal now. They should start giving Jamal statues for films now.

2007 was a great year for movies. No Country For Old Men and There Will Be Blood both came out. No Country For Old Men is my favorite flick and I think it is hands down the best movie on this list by a wide margin. But There Will Be Blood is my number two favorite and also better than any other movie on this list and would have been a guaranteed oscar winner against any of these other flicks. It's just too bad that it happened to come out the same year as No Country For Old Men.
