I'm always talking about Million Dollar Baby. I'm quoting MDB (I usually call it MDB for short). I'm watching it all the time. I'm projecting it on the sides of buildings so other people can watch it.
Pretty much all of these are good movies. It's not a "what will people find a reason to keep watching" award, either; people rewatch cult classics for decades and that doesn't necessarily mean they're great films.
They said "good", not necessarily "best in class of the year". Most of those movies aren't ones I'd call bad, even if a lot I'd argue are safe and middling. That's usually the criticism of the a Oscars from the film community.
I also don't think good has to do with widely seen or not either. Popularity is not an indication of quality.
I mean I don't know anyone else who saw Neptune Frost or the latest Weerasethakul film
I've seen over 3100 films and I have absolutely no idea what "CODA" is.
edit: Oh, that is literally the title. I figured people were abbreviating something, like with EEAAO or whatever, haven't seen that one either I haven't been on a film kick for a couple years now.
yeah, it was a beautifully made movie, but the ending was inane liberal tripe. they get the only racist cop (in Colorado in the 70s???) fired, everyone goes out for malts, and we get a newsreel reminding us to be afraid of Trump supporters (but not good cops). For a while I was trying to figure out if Lee was being ironic, but he really did just turn into a wealthy simpering lapdog of white supremacy.
I guess those were the other nominees? Of those, BlacKkKlansman I guess. Hereditary was good if I recall, overall not a year with anything standout. Lots of fun little things. I liked Splice.

It's been a while since I've seen it but I actually really liked Million Dollar Baby when I saw it
Chicago still has pull with musical heads. Million Dolar Baby had its time in the spotlight as well, it just only asted a couple years.
Moulin Rouge should have won the year before, I will die on this hill.
Chicago rocks though, Bob Fosse is a GOAT, and the cast really rocks.
I'm not a big musical guy but both of those slap fucking hard
Moulin Rouge is the only musical i ever liked
Chicago is a really fun musical, but cowards are afraid of musicals
This is me also talking about Chicago. And while I've not rewatched it in a while, I'll definitely revisit individual songs kinda semi-regularly.

I do find the chorus entering my head every once in a while.
Slumdog Millionaire wasn't a Bollywood movie

Oh damn Idk why you said 'lol' after the Green Book. I really liked the film but now I'm afraid some things flew right over my head :|

The Favourite was excellent imo In particular it portrays the british aristocracy hilariously but also disturbingly as the monsters they were/are
BlacKkKlansman is at least a lot of fun
yeah, it was a beautifully made movie, but the ending was inane liberal tripe. they get the only racist cop (in Colorado in the 70s???) fired, everyone goes out for malts, and we get a newsreel reminding us to be afraid of Trump supporters (but not good cops).

i forgot Bohemian Rhapsody got nominated lmao

In a year or two we'll have enough specific emojis Hexbear can abandon text entirely.

Will always have a special place in my heart because of its intense racism against Italians. :anti-italian-action:
I feel like on Crash, The Artist, and Green Book are the only ones that just appeared to win and Oscar, few people saw, and then vanished.
