If I were in charge of what the five major Oscar contenders in 2002 were, I’d switch out Gangs of New York and The Hours for Catch Me If You Can and About a Boy. Thoughts?

I don’t think this qualifies as unpopular, but I believe 1917 was the first time a film had won both PGA and DGA, was nominated for both Best Picture and Best Director, and lost both Picture and Director (In Apollo 13’s case, Ron Howard was snubbed for Best Director).

Jessie Buckley is a far superior thespian to Saoirse Ronan in terms of acting range and the ability to do convincing accent work.

The 2010’s Best Picture lineup was better than the 2000’s, 90’s and 80’s. Would have been even better without Green Bookkk

Nothing will ever top the 70’s though. Rocky over Network was the only misstep and in a perfect world, both the Godfather II and Chinatown would have won

I saw a lot of people claiming Perfect Blue is better than Black Swan and I think it’s bullshit
