Which is it?










Did this last year and No Country dominated, wonder who would be the most popular without it

I think mine is probably 12 Years a Slave right now but its close between it and the Kings Speech and Moonlight

I honestly haven't seen much hype for these movies, other than that they won Oscars. The decade before this had movies that people would actually fanboy over.

Looking at the previous ten before this and this is me exactly. I've seen two of the ten in this poll, but nine of the ten previous winners before this.

Yeah my first thought was "yikes, none of these movies really jump out at me." I mean, I've liked them well enough (haven't seen Argo, Moonlight, or Spotlight). But I wouldn't call any of them really must watch movies. The Artist is the only one that comes close, imo just because it tries something different. And even then it's not even my favorite from this list so I guess that says something.

I think its more just that blockbusters have kinda faded out of the picture more than anything.

Also, what movies do people fanboy over other than Return of the King from the decade prior? I guess theres the Departed and Gladiator but Im not sure if those count as fanboying over

Well it is possible to not know what the Best Picture winners of the past decade were, then being surprised to see you've seen exactly 0 of them

I've seen Slumdog and Argo. I slightly preferred Slumdog I guess so I voted it but in hindsight I probably should've just abstained since neither one was particularly great and I'm sure there's a movie on the list better than both.

I'd say this board fanboyed over (or would have if it was around at the time)...

Return of the King
The Departed
No Country For Old Men
American Beauty
Gladiator
Titanic (well okay, B8 would have called it overrated, but a female version of B8 would have been crazy about it)

And no way, blockbusters in the past decade are bigger than ever! The problem is, these days casual moviegoers only head to the theater 2-3 times a year to see the biggest of the popcorn flicks (which the Academy only rewards for Special Effects/Sound Editing) while they watch TV shows to get their fill of smaller-stakes drama.

In the 90s/early 00s stuff like Breaking Bad and Stranger Things and True Detective would have been seen by about as many people as they were these days... but they would have been movies, and they would have been Oscar nominated, and people would have felt a bigger connection to the awards season as a result.

Seen em all except Artist, Moonlight, 12 years and Shape

Lean Birdman, but I like them all except Hurt Locker, glad to see that's last.

So uh

Birdman > Spotlight > King's Speech > Slumdog > Argo > Hurt Locker

Argo is just "good", y'know, fine. Nice. Really enjoy everything from Slumdog up.

For those I've seen:

Moonlight > Birdman > 12 Years A Slave > Slumdog Millionaire >>> The King's Speech

The first four are genuinely great movies, and it's hard to compare them as they have such a different theme and atmosphere. I never really got the hype around the King's Speech. I thought it was alright, but nothing special. Looking back, it didn't really have a lot of competition, unless there was a notable snub from the nominees.
