Fuck. Didn't even notice. No need to let it derail the thread though.

>Not Brokeback
But seriously, any one of the other nominees would have been a better choice.

1976 (too obvious) >Rocky to Taxi Driver
Sebastian Nelson
>1976 (too obvious) >Rocky to Taxi Driver
I don't know if that's an obvious choice. It's my favourite from the year but Network is a classic and just as high quality and All the President's Men is also fantastic. I love Rocky but it really doesn't compare to those three.
Jose Hernandez
1999. >Winner: SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE >What should have won: Saving Private Ryan.
Jaxson Cruz
I'll pick an obvious one.
2010 >Winner: The King's Speech >What should have won: The Social Network

Exactly what a redditor would think.
Jack Anderson
Incredible argument there. You sure showed us
Ryder Kelly
inb4 whatever year Shakespeare in Love won and Saving Private Ryan aw shit I waited too long to post it
Anyway, 2010 >Winner: The King's Speech >What should have won: Toy Story 3
Brody Diaz
2012 >winner The Artist to >Shame
Thomas Hill
How Green is my Valley is a lovely film and Donald Crisp is a good dadfu but it's still mindblowing that it beat Citizen Kane. There's not one single way in which it's better than Kane.
Anthony Sanders
2006 >Winner: Crash
>What should have won: Literally any other film ever made. Even films that didn't fall into that years oscar window.
Aiden Brooks
The Artist is a terrible movie, I don't know if shame deserved it but it was way better
Austin Cook
1966 >Winner: A Man For All Seasons >What should have won: The Good The Bad The Ugly Everyone agrees on this right?
Cooper Flores
The Oscars are completely meaningless anyway. The true indicator of a great movie is if it still gets praise years after its release
Jace Gray
2002 >Winner: fucking Chicago >What should have won: The Pianist or Lord of the Rings
Kayden Ramirez
>wahhh they make me feel bad about being racist
Crash maybe didn't deserve to win best picture but come on, there's no place in the world that hates it as much as Sup Forums
Babel was better; Crash was just more plebeian
Nathaniel Sullivan
1994: Forrest Gump To The Shawshank Redemption
Jose Taylor
Dude everyone hates Crash, not just Sup Forums.
Mason Evans
this only turboplebs care about the Oscars
Isaiah Jones
>taking the oscars seriously
Thomas Morris
>Shawshank >not Pulp Fiction
Connor Richardson
True indicator is box office performance.
Evan Rodriguez
Kane wasn't recognized though upon release. They just didn't understand it back in a day. What I'm talking about is deep focus, ceilings, non-linear narrative.
Mason Torres
No, it is better.
David Moore
Hellooooooo reddit
Levi Walker
>you don't like crash >clearly you are Sup Forumstard
Flawless logic there mate.
In reality my political leanings are nothing of the sort. By the standards of the rabid internet conservatives I would most likely be deemed a "sjw" or god forbid a "cuck"
That doesn't just change the fact that Crash is literally one of the most obnoxious movie experiences I've ever had. A preachy mess that perhaps has its heart in the right place and some messages I can dig but is still completely unwatchable due its delivery and execution.
Dylan Wright
Forrest Gump > Pulp Fiction
Ryan Harris
Bonjour Reddit!
Michael Lewis
holy shit inception was nominated this year
David Miller
Hola Reddito!
Austin Phillips
Yeah, so?
Wyatt Brooks
samefag >le shawshank is the greatest movie of all time meme xDD Fucking kill yourself, senpai
Jaxson Adams
i think it's funny that they would nominate such a mediocre movie
Owen Roberts
2009 >Winner: The Hurt Locker >should have won: The Cuckold
Evan Lewis
Oh, I thought you were suggesting it should've won.
Oliver White
Same guy you responded to
Again, I would recommend Babel as it's a much more worldly (literally, it takes place in various locations in the world) experience and isn't as incredibly hamfisted as Crash.
Bentley Ross
bon giorno, redditino uno farto a minuto 3:17??
Isaac Morris
Terrible samefagging
Just go back to sleep if you're this bored
Jaxon Allen
>get called out on your plebeian taste >s-samefag xD I bet you also think Breaking Bad is the best show ever, huh, champ?
Lincoln Hall
Every year there's a completely mediocre movie nominated for best picture. Most years, those mediocre movies actually win best picture.
Luke Parker
Crash was 2005
Hudson Campbell
Back to reddït with you kid
Isaac Jones
They still gave it the Oscar for best screenplay. It was a critical success and widely loved by those who saw it but failed to make back it's budget, mainly because Hearst systematically tried to destroy it and a lot of people were scared of him.
Jaxon Gutierrez
>Inception has been constantly put in the top 20 in recent top 100 lists in many publications
Jesus Christ. It was a pretty good movie but nothing more. Why do people praise it so much?
Elijah Wright
>thinks shawshank is anything more than a good saturday afternoon flick I bet you think Speed Racer and BvS are absolute kinography
Mason Morgan
I don't think Shawshank is the greatest movie of all time, but it's a hell of a lot better than Pleb Fiction. Tarantino is fucking cancer.
Samuel Price
Says the actual cancer
Asher Richardson
If Pulp Fiction wasn't so widely adored contrarian Sup Forums posters would love it. I still do.
Nolan Jenkins
The average moviegoer is an idiot that though Inception was a mindfuck
Chase Long
Because it's babby's first surreal (barely) movie with a complex (lol) plot. People like the movie because it makes them feel smart because they understand it.
Liam Moore
Maybe you should go back to where you came from. I heard they love Pulp Fiction over there.
Ayden Reed
Up boated my good sir!
Luis Phillips
Citizen Kane and Vertigo are overrated.
I unironically think Gigi and How Green was my valley are better films.
Blake Morris
You speak the true true
Xavier Walker

Luke Walker
I think pic related should've won over Spotlight.

>They just didn't understand it back in a day. What I'm talking about is deep focus, ceilings, non-linear narrative. John Ford used ceilings at least as early as 2 years before Citizen Kane in Stagecaoch.
I'm not sure exactly what you think is "non-linear" about the narrative either. It's just a framing device and then it goes back in time. This isn't Eisenstein or anything.
As for deep focus, I don't think it's realistically that impressive.
I understand that it was influential to a lot of directors I respect but the film is an overwrought mess of banal symbolism.
Asher Brooks
>Shawshank not better than Pulp Fiction No, that is what we call reddit cancer. Pulp Fiction isn't a bad flick, but Shawshank Redemption is infinitely better. I bet the only reason you think Pulp Fiction is better is because it had >lol so much violence, dae remember when they raped that guy xD
David Sullivan
Are you retarded? Pulp Fiction is certified reddit garbage.
Logan White
Pulp Fiction, Forrest Gump and Shawshank Redemption are all very "reddit" movies (not necessarily bad ones), for whatever it signifies.
I mean Shawshank is used as a film study in high school English classes, while being completely accessible (it's fucking Stephen King). It's about as reddit as a movie can get.
Gavin Williams
>uses reddit as a measure of quality >reddit says tomato, Sup Forums says tomahto >everything reddit likes, Sup Forums automatically hates >mfw reddit controls what Sup Forums likes
Having actual critical thinking is out of question, I see. Happy you like being controled. Good for you, little man.
Christopher Harris
I'm pretty sure reddit hates Forrest Gump because it beat Pulp Fiction
James Kelly
You now realise those movies are older than the average redditor
Ian Rogers
And Shawshank is not, right?
Camden Johnson
I don't give a shit about reddit and neither should the rest of you
Luke Peterson
I really don't.
Blake Diaz
Are you honestly surprised? Sup Forums is so obsessed with cuckolding, they're being cuckolded by Reddit's opinion on everything.
Grayson Wilson
It is. But that was in response to an user who implied liking Shawshank more was reddit. Clearly, it isn't.
Nicholas Moore
Oh my god... Oh no... Oh god no...
Jace Diaz
Because a fucking Top 250 says so. It must be the truth!
Aiden Martin
2010 >Winner: The King's Speech >What should have won: The Social Network
Sebastian Jackson
More redditors voted it as their favorite movie, so yes, it's true. Just admit your taste is as reddit as it gets.
James Ramirez
My taste is as reddit as it gets. :)
Kevin Rogers
Not exactly related to the subject, but Rosamund Pike not winning best actress for Gone Girl was a travesty. Julianne Moore won for some forgettable flick instead.
Wyatt Taylor
>2003 >Last Samurai not even nominated
Nicholas Morgan
>The Academy is full of retards and/or plebs >More news at 11
Adrian Evans
If you're going to shit on Tarantino, Pulp Fiction is the last film you'd want to do it with. Shawshank is pure Oscar bait btw
Jackson Rivera
