DAR Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I don't have time to go through all the years but I'll select my most obvious 1990-Goodfellas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sims Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 (edited) Don't listen to ChD, Wall-E was the correct answer. 2012 Life of Pi 2011 The Tree of Life 2010 Black Swan 2009 Inglourious Basterds 2008 WALL-E 2007 There Will Be Blood 2006 Pan's Labyrinth 2005 Brokeback Mountain, I guess (the entire year is a waste) 2004 Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind 2003 Return of the King*** 2002 The Pianist 2001 Mulholland Dr. 2000 Requiem for a Dream 1999 American Beauty*** I'll add more later Edited August 5, 2013 by Sims 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although ZDT should have won instead of Pi, 2010 should've been TSN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Goodfellas is a fantastic film but Dances With Wolves is a remarkable cinematic achievement. I think it was a deserving winner in 1990. If Goodfellas would have won that year it would have been a deserving win. But DWW is just as deserving. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walle if it was nominated2006- little miss sunshine (also enjoyed the queen) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiccup Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 As of the 20's I only agree with 2000, 2003, 2004, 2007, and 2009. Should have been 2001- Monsters Inc 2002- The Ring (Although 8 Mile should have won too) 2005- The Exorcism of Emily Rose 2006- Letters from Iwo Jima 2008- The Dark Knight 2010- Toy Story 3 2011- The Help 2012- Life of Pi (although Django Unchained, Zero Dark Thirty, and Silver Lining Playbooks I would like to see win too) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChD Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 All right... 2008: The Dark Knight 2009: Up 2010: The Social Network I don't understand.

mahnamahna Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 I don't understand. Why did The Dark Knight affect the next two years seeing that the winners are different from your original post. Because one of Pixar's masterpieces needed to win (WALL-E and Up) and I actually hated The Hurt Locker, Avatar and pretty much all of the nominees except Blind Side & Up... so I gave it to Pixar! and I didn't think Nolan should win BP twice within two years so I gave it to David Fincher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Stingray Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Does N/A or None mean you can't come up with one? N/A means I cant form an opinion, because I have seen too few of the nominated films. None means all the nominated films were basically undeserving of best picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
