Yeah that's right guys, The Reader and Frost Nixon were better films than TDK. Milk & Benjamin Button. Lmao. Come on Academy you were a JOKE. Not to mention no Nolan nomination either. 

 

For the 6,000+ people that made up the Academy, they were.

Milk?

 

No, one of the first two you mentioned.

 

And it's not The Reader.

saw it mentioned on twitter but with the way the order of the awards are arranged la la land could win 7 of the last 9. so the haters should just change the channel after the first half, i think.

Or maybe the last 30 minutes kinda dragged.  

 

I have always said that whole ferry crap was such boring bullshit...I wish I could meld the whole Dark Knight trilogy with their own best parts...

No.

 

It's because I didn't do enough in my power to make it happen. I have shamed my fearless leader

Lol you can't be serious...

Frost Nixon is the best 2008 nominee and somehow gets almost as much hate as the Reader. Movie rocked IMO.

Oh lawd, some upsets might happen in over half of the first six categories.

My opinion of the 2010s BP winners

 

Spotlight

12 Years A Slave

Argo

Birdman

The King's Speech

The Artist

 

 

The Artist was a fun, pleasant, enjoyable film, that simply was nowhere near BP-level IMO.

[GiantCALBears]

Frost fucking Nixon? Who here has seen that movie and didn't fall asleep?

Listen to the Cmaster on this one

[CoolioD1]

12 years a slave is fantastic

the rest are varying degrees of "yeah, ok, why not". can't even work up the energy to rank them. it's all a mush.

I've seen it twice. Once for a regular watch and enjoyed it, and one for my "Wikipedia watch" that I do for historical dramas so I can look up interesting articles/history online to supplement my movie. I do this alot, actually, and recommend it highly. Anyway, that movie rocked. One of my big regrets as a theater director was proposing Rabbit Hole over Frost/Nixon.

It's an alright B movie but I mean to call it better than TDK is laughable imo but that's art for ya.

I mean I don't think it's better than TDK, which might be the best blockbuster since Terminator 2. But it's the second best movie of 2008 IMO, and that was a solid year.
