Rank all the Best Picture Nominees by year.

[Kalo]

Hey guys I have seen almost of the BP nominees last year (Selma the only one I still have to catch, which I believe is being added to netflix in a few days) and most from 2013 as well so I thought I'd create a thread where you rank them all according to how well you like them within nominated years. hopefully this thread isn't already made, I couldn't find it at any rate.

Yeesh, remembering some of those 5 nominee years is the best argument for the category expansion. like '04 is brutal. imagine how much better that line-up would look if we could get vera drake, eternal sunshine and the incredibles in there.

And even then they still wouldn't nominate Before Sunset.
