Why did this win Best Picture?

Why did this win Best Picture?

I like his other films but this just bored me. Which is weird because I find the concept really interesting.

W H I T E
G U I L T

and muhh race pandering

Bc this garbage was better than all its garbage competition.

>Brokeback Mountain

I don't even care that it's about some gay shit. It's a boring fucking movie who's online lyrics redeeming quality is Anne Hathaways Tits which we got in droves the same year on the movie Havoc.

>"Nice" people portraying assholes, the movie.
Also, "Nice" dubs.

>starring brendan frasier

JUST

>who's online lyrics redeeming quality
Fuck off phoneposter

A few reasons.

>capote likely siphoned votes from Brokeback mountain
>it's set in la so voters, who are all industry people that live in la, can relate to it on a very shallow level
>literally features a character that is a director, so again voters can relate
>it is not uncommon at all for apathetic voters to just let their housekeepers fill out the ballots and vote for whatever they liked and guess which was the only film that featured a plot line about a hispanic
>had a huge cast local crew both of which means they have more friends that are academy voters than the others films and people vote for their friends

Oscarnigga (don't remember if he was ever a namefag) wrote a long post explaining it one time that made a lot of sense but I can't really remember too much of it, the gist of it was a lot of people worked on it.

tldr: i'm a big guy for you

Because Cronenberg is a genius, you pleb.

This. Also because the dvd screener strategy worked great. Same PR guy was hired to do the same for Spotlight and see what happened

>some jew film
>some gay film
>some biopic about a fag
>some political biopic

It's only competition was typical Oscarbait garbage so the cuck movie won.

Literally every film in Oscar contention has screeners sent out. Weinstein pioneered that for My Left Foot.

No shit but this time around was special

>online lyrics redeeming quality

I think it being so firmly set in LA had something to do with it. I assume that's where most voters live.

Are there any other example of "best picture" winners that everyone, in retrospect, realizes weren't even very good pictures?

The Artist

WTF. I had too google this (never heard of it), but apparently it won Best Picture in 2011?!?!?!

Trying too hard.

Brendan and Lucacris carried the weak script

fucking this

The only scene I liked (even though it was manipulative) is the Invisible Cloak scene. Gives me chills everytime

Slumdog was fucking awful.
Any any redeeming quality it had was launched into outerspace with that ridiculous dance number at the end.

>but muh homage to Bollywood
Fuck that.
