Thor Raganrok will flop.

lol I don't really think Rob Marshall should have won but given Chicago was so strong it's safe to say he was the #2. I followed awards season that year and everyone knew Chicago was winning Best Picture in a landslide by the time the big night came.

Kenny Smith, Robert Horry, Vernon Maxwell, and many others beg to differ. 

 

Those guys are generic supporting cast. Now the next year, he had Drexler.

i actually like chicago and into the woods, probably because i like the original musicals but it realllly feels like marshall is always doing his best to actively destroy the material so picture without director sounds about right.

Chicago, just like every other Weinstein best picture win, is one of the worst films to ever win best picture.

I actually think his direction is what made Chicago such a great movie (and I still love it to death, sue me all you want Middle Earth fans). He turned a show that is the definition of "stagebound" and breathed tremendous cinematic life into it (with help from the incredible cast, of course). I don't care if he hasn't lived up to it since.

rob marshall is basically gay zack snyder in that "likes the material but doesn't get it" sort of way. in fact the deleted love is a drug musical number from sucker punch looks like a rob marshall scene.

There have been worse. I don't hate Chicago; it just didn't deserve to sniff Oscar.

Was looking at the 2014 summer box office numbers (worst summer ever), and was reminded that the Planes series has somehow managed to make 2 theatrically released movies. Who even watched those?

[Lordmandeep]

Does anyone remember what the best pic was for this year  lol

The people who suck up anything (and I do mean anything) Disney releases.

Obvious answer: Families with 7-year olds.

It must be hard to keep the morale up at DisneyToon Studios when it's just about officially the second-string studio.

I think Spotlight is one of the best choices in quite some time.

 

The last time I didn't like a Best Picture winner was The English Patient. That Seinfeld episode pretty much hit the nail on the head.
