Vikander didn't (and still doesn't) have the reputation though, it was a welcoming Oscar, not an overdue one. Plus you could pretend they gave it to her as much for Ex Machina as for TDG. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 driving miss daisy is the worst film to win best picture and its not even a little bit close. no way i could ever see that being topped. the only film that's been nominated since that i think is worse is probably the blind side.

Worse than some of the forgotten winners from the '30s, or The Greatest Show on Earth? Worst one I've seen is probably Million Dollar Baby or Birdman, although if Three Billboards wins it'll overtake both. I guess I've had it easy so far. (Have 39 winners still unseen.)

(Have 39 winners still unseen.) i haven't seen all of the 30s winners but greatest show is kinda like... a 50s version of the greatest showman. dumbass cheese but it's not unenjoyable. way too long though. i suppose i have more affection for a 50s melodrama than an 80s one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolioD1 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 the 70s were such an incredible decade for winners. you can't go wrong with ranking these in any order 1. rocky 2. the deer hunter 3. the godfather 4. the french connection 5. the godfather II 6. the sting 7. one flew over the cuckoo's nest 8. patton 9. kramer vs kramer 10. annie hall 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aabattery Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I'm pretty bad on the number of Best Picture winners I've seen. Only seen 35 of them. I was working on getting through them last year but I watched Chicago and that kinda killed my motivation to go any further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annie Hall Funny thing is I wouldn't even have picked the top 2 to win in their respective years. (My heart belongs to Chinatown and Cabaret.) And it's gotta be the decade with the best track record for winners anyway. To add I think you can make a case for 1975 having the greatest line-up of nominees ever, with Barry Lyndon, Dog Day Afternoon, Jaws, Nashville, and Cuckoo's Nest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky, All the President's Men, Network and Taxi Driver. Also Bound for Glory. Haven't seen/heard about that one much at all but still. STRONG lineup.

CoolioD1 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Amadeus is one of the best BP winners and F Murray Abraham in that movie is the very best performance to ever win best actor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
