How did this shit win 7 oscars with the following films also nominated
The Thin Red Line
The Truman Show
Saving Private Ryan
American History X
Because Shakespeare is in the title and people love to appear more well-read than they are, thinking well-read = intelligent

Although it didn't deserve all those awards, I rather like the film.

Films about how awesome and magical the process of acting/film-making/putting on a show tend to do well among voters in that industry.

>/tv/ plebs hate the Academy's bias toward period pieces
>/tv/ plebs hold the same fucking bias toward War/Sci-fi/Crime
Plebs gonna pleb. The Academy and /tv/ alike. Get shit on.
This was the only one which had tits in it
Look into 'anonymous'... Shakespeare is kind of a goofball actor in it
How indeed?

The dialogues are all very good. They are witty and poetic, and the entire movie (inspired by Shakespeare’s own comedies) is a very high and classy form of comedy.
Think for a second in all the other romantic comedies you have seen in the last 10 years: is there anything that comes close in inventive and fertile dialogue to this movie?
Then there is good acting, great soundtrack, a very well made Elizabethan era scenario.
I do not see why this work should be deemed inferior to the other ones. It is not an epic or a big-theme movie, but is a very refined and intelligent comedy: peoples voices and speeches bubble like champagne.
Also: it is harder to make a really good comedy than to make epic and drama films (few people know this, but when you try your hand at writing in all the genres you find this out)

It's a good movie but I think most people today agree that it shouldn't have won instead of Saving Private Ryan
