What's are the worst Oscar wins in history? Doesn't matter which category, just the ones which made people wft or just blatently didn't deserve it.
The Artist won best picture in 2012 and I still don't know why or how.
>>64869889
This was a very good film and a safe choice, not nearly the worst. It was beautifully directed and acted, charming, and about Hollywood, which the Academy loves. Script didnt amount to much, but still a good film.
The Artist was wonderful, and it deserved the award. I thought it was much better than all the other nominated films. There are far better examples of undeserved wins.
>>64869889
The Artist is a terrific facsimile of the Silent Era. The only people who think it doesn't deserve the awards it received are those with no understanding of Cinema history and the difficulties of creating and selling a silent movie in this era.
It's a far more important film than something like Dances With Wolves.
>>64869889
This was a very shit film and a safe choice, very nearly the worst. It was terribly directed and acted, grotesque, and about cucks, which the Academy loves. Its win didnt amount to much, but still a shit flick.
Just think: 35 years ago, before many of you were even born, the Academy was proven to be the sham many had suspected it of being.

Artist was a great movie. Paid homage to other great movies from a hundred years ago.
This only works if you post what should have won instead. Tree of Life should have beaten The Artist. I didn't see the king's speech so I don't really know, but inception was nominated for best picture. I would have loved to see that win.

It wasn't necessarily the worst winner in history, but it's a movie I'd already forgotten about a couple of weeks after the Oscars and I rarely see mentioned since.

3 years after the 50th anniversary of the end of WW2. I'm guessing everyone saw the 50 years shit and went, "oh shit, that whole generation is gonna die soon...we could make a lot of money off them going to the movies."

What the fuck.
Brave was a boring piece of a movie.
>>64869889
>>64870365
I didn't say it was good or bad. My point is that all the hype over the longevity of its shooting process ended up overshadowing any discussion about the film's actual merits.

Paddy was such a fucking prophetic genius. Apart from Altered States being the greatest drug movie of all time, Network was so ahead of it's time that the premise of it's shock show is probably simmering with some TV producers today:
"A show that follows REAL TERRORISTS committing REAL ACTS OF TERROR every week, and we get to follow them back to their HQs to see how they live and eat and deal with the day-to-day."
Also, because I love saying this to West-Wing-Newsroom-fags; Sorkin is a poor-man's Chayefsky, with a quarter of the talent and zero subtlety. When Paddy wrote a 5-min monologue, no matter how unnatural it is for a person to talk that long and eloquently about anything, you were scared from how honest and insightful the character was being. When sorkin does it, it's a fucking checklist for SJWs and PC-police the world over. Sorkin is a fucking hack.

Honestly? IMO (and a shit ton of people will disagree with me on this) when you have a year like that, where you can objectively say that they're all great, you go with the highest grossing film that most of the american public went to see. I know people hate me for saying that, but it's the way I feel about it. Especially when Rocky beat all the others at the box office so badly, and was a great movie.
https://www.wikiwand.com/en/1976_in_film
now you realize that oscars mean jack shit, garbage like the artist won for best picture and citizen kane didn't, rear window didn't win a single fucking oscar
tell me this, in 50 years, will anyone even remember the artist? or 12 years a slave? or birdman? of course not, but citizen kane and rear window will still be loved, and remembered, and praised as the greatest films ever made

The movie itself when compared to the cinema of the past fifty years or so is not all that great. The movie itself is instead remembered for the techniques that it combined into a single film and popularized for movies at large, like the use of flashbacks and a nonlinear temporal stream, as well as deep focus and low angle shots, makeup techniques, etc.
This beat

>>64871345
>but citizen kane and rear window will still be loved, and remembered, and praised as the greatest films ever made
Citizen Kane and Rear window were beat, respectively, by How Green was my Valley and On the Waterfront.
A lot of people love How Green and it has a solid reception, but sure it's now overshadowed by Citizen Kane (and the rest of Ford's later career). It remains a good movie.
On the Waterfront is considered to be among the greatest American films ever made and one of Brando's best performances, its reception is on par with Rear Window's. Maybe normies don't know it enough, but that's only because Hitchcock is extremely popular so Rear Window is instantly more famous. Both are extremely well-received so it's not a good example in my opinion.

Barry Lyndon is a beautiful film, but it's Kubrick's most overlong and indulgent movie. The story isn't that compelling, even if the visuals are one-of-a-kind.
>>64871641

What about Gravity being 95% CGI and still winning for cinematography?
>>64870790
I'm curious about how this works out and I imagine in my head that it goes like this:
Studio A is making a WWII movie.
Studio B catches wind
Given that all studios have, most likely, 50 WWII movie scripts sitting around, and at least a couple directors who have expressed interest in making one, Studio B decides to make one too (for reasons)
Studio C follows suit.
Or it's just a coincidence. But really, seeing that Hitgirl movie trailer immediately before the Independence day 2 trailer made me think about this again. Who thought it was a good idea to release a big budget movie about aliens when the biggest alien movie success's sequel is coming out and then put the trailers together?
I genuinely love high quality biopic/period Oscar baits like J Edgar, Imitation Game, Capote, Lincoln, 12YaS, even King Speech

She won her Oscar by doing one of the two things that usually guarantee it:
1. name actress appearing topless for the first time showing they're serious about their craft (see also Helen Hunt's wet t-shirt in As Good As It Gets)
2. Homely to ugly actress in their first major role (Louise Fletcher in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest and Kathy Bates in Misery) which ironically kills their career because now studios are worried they'll ask too much
That's not all Best Actresses of course but those two categories are the equivalent of Name Actor Plays Cripple/Tranny/Jew/Slave for men.
The advent of CGI nudity is going to kill the first category dead in a few years.

And Nicholson got his only Oscar for playing the cripple even though it's painfully obvious Melvin was written for someone younger and shlubbier with zero charisma like PSH had grown tired of playing.
"Taxi" was a great dialogue show without being all Sorkin and AGAIG was James Brooks in top form here as well.
I know the Le Based Cameron meme but Titanic winning over Good Will Hunting is pretty much everything wrong with Hollywood.
Just because its's BIG and popular and had a scale only possible through dodging Union labor laws by utilizing Mexican slave labor doesn't mean it's GOOD. In fact there are parts of this movie that are just plain awful. A big dumb self indulgent horribly written movie defeating a low budget tightly written perfectly acted character drama is just embarrassing. Hollywood rewarding their paycheck plain and simple.

Barry Lyndon shouldve won

What are you trying to say, reddit?
In 1948 Bill and Coo won an honorary academy award. The movie is about a city of birds. It wasn't released until after the ceremony. They were just that excited about a movie about birds.

If it wasn't for peta shit we could still have movies like this.

Too bad Hollywood didn't listen to him. Redgrave was not even the worse. Clooney and Arquette were more ridiculous.
I figure this year they will show once more that they didn't listen.
This would've won, only Coppola was too good that year.
>The Conversation won the Palme d'Or at the 1974 Cannes Film Festival.[1] It was nominated for three Academy Awards in 1974 and lost Best Picture to The Godfather Part II, another Francis Ford Coppola film.
Seriously, the only time two deserving films by the same Director that could've easily won the Oscar if they were released in different years.
>>64873658
Nice b8
>>64875775
Yeah, it should have been made in 1973 to have a Coppola-streak at the Oscars.
>>64875822
He's right, though it was kinda a shitty year. Shawshank is overrated too.

its just another mediocre spielberg/hanks vehicle

She won for Silver Linings Playbook. Which is even shittier than American Hustle.
Holy fucking shit man 2012 was a terrible year for movies.
>>64876788
It was zemeckis (who's basically spielberg lite) but yes
Whiplash should've won over Birdman. If you disagree you are a /reddit/ cuck
>>64876857

Not Disney enough

Not enough cute inflatable robot that makes it easy to sell toys
Kaguya never had a chance.
The English Patient over Fargo.
My Fair Lady over Dr. Strangelove.
How Green Was My Valley over Citizen Kane, The Maltese Falcon, and Sergeant York.
Kramer vs Kramer over Apocalypse Now

I don't know who else would have won it that year apart from maybe There Will Be Blood. I kinda thought it winning was something of a make-up call for 1996, but 2007 was also a pretty weak year overall.

The artist was great. If you didn't like it, fine. But if you thought it was a bad movie you are objectively wrong and you should stop lurking on film boards.

THIS. I work with the fruits of that movie's labors every day.
What this country needed was reform, but the damn popular culture libs and bleeding hearts decided instead to dismantle the entire mental health system and exacerbate homelessness and adult malnutrition for years to come

I sorta liked hugo, though. granted, more for the costumes and the cinematography than the story, but what are you going to do
>>64871271
That's a great movie. The last great cinema musical. What's wrong with you?
>>64873876
I thought Gran Torino wasn't quite good, but it was very original and mostly satisfying / entertaining
>>64876930
What is so great about the master that you would elevate it above Citizen Kane or practically anything of Kubrick's
