Who Should Have Won: 'Brokeback Mountain'
It was really neck-and-neck here for which Best Picture winner took the title for “worst,” as Crash is a film about racism told by a white writer-director who doesn’t do the work to explore or address or solve a darn thing beyond “life is crazy sometimes, right?” Adding to the sting was the fact that the beautiful and poetic Brokeback Mountain was positioned as the frontrunner that year, winning Best Director but losing out on the top prize to a movie that, all these years later, remains one...
What Should Have Won: 'Roma'
To be clear, Green Book is not a terrible movie – it’s pleasant, competently made, and Mahershala Ali and Viggo Mortensen give solid performances. But it’s the subtext of the entire piece that really pulls it down, especially in contrast to the other films nominated for Best Picture that year. Green Book is a movie about racism told through the eyes of a white, racist protagonist. Ali’s character literally takes a backseat to the story, which again is about a racist man learning to be a littl...
What Should Have Won: 'Boyhood'

What Should Have Won: 'The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring'
Ron Howard’s true-story account of American mathematician John Nash’s battle with mental illness is a fine movie, and the visual language does a solid job of putting you inside Nash’s mindset, but Best Picture? For A Beautiful Mind? Really and truly the Oscar success of this film felt more like the Academy making up for snubbing Apollo 13, a far superior Ron Howard-directed true story. Legacy-wise, A Beautiful Mind feels more like a bit of trivia than an esteemed Oscar legend, and in hindsigh...
What Should Have Won: 'The Pianist'
Before Chicago, a musical hadn’t won Best Picture since 1968’s Oliver!, and while a musical hasn’t won since, the impact of bringing theatrical experiences to the movies remains a big draw, thanks to Rob Marshall’s adaptation. Chicago flaunts its musical numbers with flashy pizazz in a style that would’ve made Bob Fosse proud—coincidentally, Fosse originally wanted to direct a film version but died before he could. While Marshall’s subsequent musicals would often struggle to mix its songs wit...
What Should Have Won: 'Milk'
2008 was a really strange Best Picture lineup. You had Fincher’s ambitious yet not quite great The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Ron Howard’s talky Frost/Nixon, Gus Van Sant’s sensitive biopic Milk, the eventual winner Slumdog Millionaire, and then, of course, the sensation that everyone was talking about…The Reader. That last one sneaked in there instead of The Dark Knight and is directly responsible for the expanded Best Picture category. But looking back, Slumdog Millionaire holds up pr...
What Should Have Won: 'The Tree of Life'
The bottom of this list really is made up of Oscar Movies That Time Forgot, but The Artist is unique in that this movie nearly ran the table. It won Best Picture, Director, and Actor, and then almost immediately disappeared. The love letter to the silent film era is a fascinating experiment of sorts, and it’s well-crafted. It’s just the kind of movie you see once, think was pretty fun, and then immediately forget about. Meanwhile, Terrence Malickis over here pondering the meaning of existence...
Who Should Have Won: 'The Power of the Dog'
CODA, from writer/director Sian Heder and based on the French-Belgian film La Famille Bélier, is an incredibly earnest and big-hearted film about Ruby (Emilia Jones), the only hearing member of her deaf family, as she attempts to find her own identity away from them. While many proclaimed CODA was the type of feelgood film that the Oscars of course are going to gravitate to, I suggest you look at the rest of this list and tell me where those other feelgood films are exactly? CODA is the type...
What Should Have Won: 'The Social Network'
The King’s Speech is arguably one of the best examples of a Best Picture winner whose legacy would be far greater had it never won this honor. Winning in one of the strongest years in memory against films like Black Swan, Inception, The Social Network, and Toy Story 3, The King’s Speechhas unfortunately been defined by what it beat rather than on its own merits. Tom Hooper’s regal drama is actually quite a bit of fun and easily the director’s best work, focusing on the relationship between th...
What Should Have Won: 'Sideways'
The 2000s might’ve been the last exceptional decade for Clint Eastwood as a director, finding his own angles on stories seen time and time again, whether in the murder mystery of Mystic River or acknowledging both sides of World War II with Flags of Our Fathers and Letters from Iwo Jima. But Million Dollar Baby became the pinnacle of this period, a film about a boxing trainer, Frankie (Eastwood), a hopeful boxer, Maggie (Hilary Swank, earning her second Oscar), and Frankie’s employee and frie...
