Benjamin Franklin.
>>71089863
The Artist
>>71089863
I remember liking the soundtrack
>>71090742
I can't believe how fucking dull this movie was. Not just the writing, the acting wasn't even special. It doesn't help it was shot like a fucking TV movie.
Most best picture academy award winners, honestly. How many times has the Academy actually gotten it right?
I remember wanting to fuck the poo girl.
the revenant
>>71090905
The last best picture winner anyone remembers is No Country For Old Men
Seriously, look at everything past that, it's all basically forgotten.
>>71091103
Exactly. And that's one of the maybe four or five wins where it was actually warranted, IMO.
Not that I really care about the Oscars, but it's baffling that people still give them any credibility at all.

People still talk about Birdman but that might be because it resurrected Michael Keaton's career.
>>71091324
Literally who does?
It was a movie that came out to pander to movie snobs. It had almost no mainstream appeal. It was made for critics and academy members.

I remember this entire movie
Kid falls in shit and gets a question right
Kid gets a hundred and gets question right
Kid loves the girl and his brother is a cunt
The host tries to trick him in the bathroom
The million dollar question was about the 3 musketeers
It was a pretty good movie

Will this year break the curse?
>>71091765
Gonna go out on a limb and say "no"
>>71091805
There are only two hopes left
Mel Gibson's Hacksaw Ridge (but the jews will never give him best picture)
and Scorsese's "Silence"
>>71089863
Shit movie
>Movie implies that the show is live
Always triggers my autism, the success ratio of a phone call will be 100%, since the movie revolves about this fucking show it's not a minor detail
>>71091848
Based on their track record, I feel like the better Silence is, the less chance it has of actually winning.
The Oscar will go to some bland film with the Weinstein logo at the beginning of it.
>>71091611
Not enough capeshit or action for you plebs?
>>71090742
How could squander such a stacked cast?
>>71091611
> The King's Speech
> 12 Years A Slave
> Birdman
At least these are genuinely good movies.
the fuck was this shit
>>71092147
Couldn't even finish it desu.
>>71091611
The King's Speech and 12 Years a Slave were very good.
>>71089863
The artist.

> "Priests are abusing people oh no!" - the same characters have the same revelation every 15 minutes for 2 hours: the movie
>>71091360
Im a movie snob and it didnt really appeal. It appealed to actor snobs.
>>71091611
Hurt locker, Kings speech, 12 years a slave were all good
>>71091611
other than The Artist, the movies are quite easy to remember.
The Artist was pure critic pandering, what a waste of time.
>>71092147
was he autistic
>>71089863
I really liked the movie.
Then I watched it a second time and was sorely disappointed.

King's Speech
>>71092465
>Hollywood pedos hate Catholic pedos
>>71091611
Slumdog, Hurt Locker, King's Speech and Birdman were all good
>>71090742
There will be a lot of contrarian remarks but let's not pretend this isn't a very good movie.
In terms of craft it's well made and ticks all the right boxes: very good script, great performance, solid direction and hits the right dramatic notes. Problem is it really is just a very good movie, not remotely close to a great one. It doesn't elevate the genre, it doesn't do anything spectacularly; just everything well. To be honest it doesn't even have any particularly memorable scenes, most of the great films I can think of have at least 3. It was a weak year but this still won't stand high in the pantheon of film in years to come.
A very good move, just not a great one. Awards should only be given to great ones but then again, I can name a more deserving winner for almost every year the Oscar has been in existence.
That shitty one with the 3D.
Hugo, right?
