Poor The Artist. That movie feels completely forgotten. Same with that entire awards season for the most part (The Help is arguably the one that's had the biggest longevity).

CoolioD1 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 oh yeah. the artist is better than argo too tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrathOfHan Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 (edited) Argo is a really forgettable film. It's the worst winner of the decade that I've seen by a comfortable margin. Whatever wins this year out of the three in contention will be the best winner of the decade IMO Edited February 19, 2018 by WrathOfHan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 The Artist was good harmless fun. That alone is enough to put it in my top 3 of this decade's winners (alongside 12YAS and Spotlight). I still don't think we've had a winner since No Country that even begins approaching all-time great film status. This year won't break the streak, either. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 i think 12 years a slave and moonlight are all timers. those are the only best pictures this decade, really two of the only nominees this decade that i think you'll still see on sight and sound lists in like fifty years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 (edited) Yeah I don't think Moonlight is very good but I'm sure its fans will continue to be many and passionate. It's why I said "great" and not "classic", because I still feel the former is subjective while the latter is to be decided by consensus, and I have no control over that.

Cmasterclay Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 (edited) At least Crash had Ludacris in it, Three Billboards can't say that. Seriously though it'd make Birdman or King's Speech winning look like when The Godfather won, considering how many better options there are this year. What a wretched choice. Spotlight's the best winner of the decade, it took me a rewatch to realize fully just how fucking great that movie is. But Moonlight and 12 Years holding up super well too. Shape of Water would be an Argo level winner, Get Out and Lady Bird would immediately jump into the best winner of the decade convo, Dunkirk has no chance but it'd probably be the first upper-middle class winner of the decade (as in, not really excellent or totally blah - just very good), Three Billboards would be the worst of the decade by a fair margin.

aabattery Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Might be fun to see if my least favorite choice can win in every category this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aabattery Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Best Actress is the one I can't really be bothered by, cause c'mon it's McDormand. Hard to get mad at that. Ronan should win tho. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legit we're a Three Billboards win (realistic) away from this happening for me. It's both probably the best nominees and the absolute worst winners in years. Actually second thought McDormand is better than Robbie for sure Edited February 19, 2018 by Cmasterclay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Gittes Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Between Oldman and Rockwell when's the last year we had at least two great actors win overdue Oscars for such blatantly unworthy, over-the-top performances? Closest answer I can see is Sean Penn and Tim Robbins for Mystic River 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
