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.”

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.
