I’m old enough to remember when someone telling me a movie won an Oscar made me want to see it.
The past ten best picture winners:
2026: One Battle After Another (Paul Thomas Anderson) 2025: Anora (Sean Baker) 2024: Oppenheimer (Christopher Nolan) 2023: Everything Everywhere All at Once (Daniel Kwan & Daniel Scheinert) 2022: CODA (Siân Heder) 2021: Nomadland (Chloé Zhao) 2020: Parasite (Bong Joon-ho) 2019: Green Book (Peter Farrelly) 2018: The Shape of Water (Guillermo del Toro) 2017: Moonlight (Barry Jenkins)
Of all of those I’ve seen the shape of water and found it to be a very mediocre fish sex movie. The rest I don’t even care to see, Nolan lost me as a viewer with inception and the rest are leftist circle jerks.
Comparatively here’s 1990-1999
Dances with Wolves (1990) The Silence of the Lambs (1991) Unforgiven (1992) Schindler's List (1993) Forrest Gump (1994) Braveheart (1995) The English Patient (1996) Titanic (1997) Shakespeare in Love (1998) American Beauty (1999)
Absolutely insane how badly the quality tanked.
Agreed. I also saw shape of water and didn’t get there hype. Only thing I liked was the song you’ll never know
