I just realized that, apart from Parasite, Birdman and Moonlight, I hate every movie in this list.

I think the general consensus of the top 3 BP winners in this decade is:

1. Parasite

2. Moonlight

3. 12 Years A Slave

Then there’s the rest.

With the exception of Moonlight and Parasite, I wanted another movie to win best picture.

It always seemed to me that The Shape of Water was the least polarizing Best Picture winner of the 2010s.

From the nay-sayers:
The King’s Speech is too old-fashioned and unremarkable, The Artist is definitive Oscar bait, Argo is forgettable, 12 Years a Slave only won because of white guilt, Birdman is pretentious, nobody will be talking about Spotlight next year, nothing happened in Moonlight, Green Book is a gross oversimplification of racism, and Parasite is overrated.

I don’t agree with all of these comments (especially not the racist one regarding 12 Years a Slave), but I have heard each of them made by various critics, film buffs, and casual audiences throughout the decade. However, the only complaint I have ever heard about The Shape of Water was “it wasn’t really my thing” from a rare couple of people. Everyone else either sang its praises as a deserving winner, or said “it wasn’t the film I was rooting for but I am perfectly fine with it winning.”

Parasite is the obvious number 1, with Spotlight and The Shape of Water far away behind it.

I’m certainly not adding anything new here but yeah it’s no contest.

PARASITE easily.

#1-Parasite
#2-Moonlight

Those are the only two I would’ve voted for.

#3-12 Years a Slave (Strong film but I would’ve voted for HER)
#4-The Shape of Water (I liked it but I still preferred like 4 of the nominees ahead of it)
#5-Birdman (liked it but still preferred like 4 other movies)
#6-Argo
#7-Spotlight
#8-The King’s Speech
#9-The Artist
#10-Green Book

Also, PARASITE and MOONLIGHT are my two favorite BP winners of not just the last decade but the best winners since THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS…and frankly I think they are among the 10-15 greatest BP winners ever.

Ranking + (Personal Pick)
1. Parasite (Marriage Story)
2. The Shape of Water (Get Out)
3. 12 Years a Slave (Her)
4. Spotlight (Mad Max: Fury Road)
5. The Artist (Midnight in Paris)
6. Moonlight (La La Land)
7. Birdman (Boyhood)
8. Green Book (Roma)
9. The King’s Speech (Inception)
10. Argo (Life of Pi)

I am quite satisfied with the Top 5 BP wins because they are 2nd/3rd in my Personal Pick.
