I always wanted to do two polls.
The first of the best films nominated for an Oscar for best foreign film.
And the second, a ranking of the worst films that were nominated for best film.-
As it is too hard work to do this a job, and I don't dare to do a survey (and doing an Ongoing poll of best/worst 25), a few end up voting and it takes months. It's just that last year I took only the winners for best foreign film and divided them into decades, resulting in Parasite winning. That is why now I do the second poll of my dreams, choose the worst film that won the Oscar. Since doing a survey of all the nominees is too extensive. In this case as in the previous project. I give two weeks to judge the Oscar-winning films 2010-2021. As always you can choose until As always you can choose up to 3 worst or more hated movies (I know that there is a big difference, but I don't care).-
Two Weeks to vote, in order, to see it for the first time, or just do a rewatch.- |

The whole things, is that with the exception of Parasite and the artist, a film that I enjoy, but not love. The others perfectly could be in my list of worst academy award winners. In fact I choose 2, and I have to see a rewatch the rest to choose the third film.-
There are all awful, boring, and nasty.-
This will end on Dec. 23.
I hope then I could make the 2000-2009 films, but because of holidays, I could take more time.-

Birdman is the best, with Parasite and The Artist close behind.
Green Book is far and away the worst.

Usually the Oscar winners are "bad" in relation to the years very best films - but The Shape of Water/ Grinding Nemo / Sex With Fishsticks......was a jaw-droppingly bad movie on its own merits ......it's JoJo Rabbit level of dumbfnckery but that one didn't win  Woman Talking if it wins would be comparably "Oh God No" but without the cross-species porn ........ |

Parasite - best Green Book - not sure why there's a third option... Should be a 4th option because there are 12 films. But in Best Foreign Language I give until 3 options |

I, uh, haven't seen Breen Book. I'm voting for Nomadland, which is frustratingly non-confrontational. Where's Ken Loach when you need him.

This is one of the weakest stretches you will see, there's lots of meh here, Birdman and maybe 12 Years a Slave are the only real classics (don't @ me with Parasite). But Shape of Water is truly ass-tier and specifically giving it BP over Phantom Thread is one of the worst decisions anyone has ever made, like the movie equivalent of Napoleon and Hitler invading Russia.
Green Book didn't deserve to win but it's a perfectly fine movie with two good lead performances and is probably in the top half of this so so group to be honest.

This is one of the weakest stretches you will see, there's lots of meh here Agreed. 1. Nomadland - On top by default. 2. Parasite - One of the most overpraised films of the decade, but as far as as BP winners goes it's not as bad as the others. 3. The King's Speech - Serviceable. 4. The Shape of Water - Serviceable. 5. CODA - Basic but inoffensive. 6. Birdman - I just don't get it. AGI is simply not my jam. 7. The Artist - Blah. 8. Moonlight - Blah. 9. 12 Years a Slave - Blah. 10. Spotlight - Blah. 11. Argo - Horrendous. 12. Green Book - Hallmark level of atrocious. |

The three year stretch of Moonlight, Shape of Water, and Green Book has to be one of the all time worst.
I'm going with the fish fucking movie.

I haven't seen three of these (The Artist, Spotlight and Argo). Of the others, my least favorite is probably The King's Speech, but I would still rate it with a solid 6 or a mild 7.
Green Book is not a bad film per se, it only loses when compared to most of the films of this group. I hope that's why it won.
EDIT: I also haven't seen CODA, but I plan to.

I am sorry to bump an old thread and one that I didn't vote for because I am usually absent but seeing these results...sheesh!
Nomadland is probably my second favourite BP winner in this time, the idea of it being the second worst in this list...wow.
Also, I get why people don't necessarily vibe with The Shape of Water (I quite liked it but it is definitely not the best BP winner by any means), but it's such an inspired choice IMO. Also, look at this list people!!! You have The King's Speech (basic AF), The Artist (not bad but definitely not outstanding), CODA (nice, but nothing special), Argo (ditto my comment from CODA)...
Green Book is the right choice for first (I'd pick The King's Speech first but I totally get why Green Book would be one of those choices and it would be in my three), but the other two...just no. Sorry!
And yes, I'm still that arrogant, opinionated f***.
Thanks!
