Cast Away challenges it as the better film but Hanks as Forrest Gump had the much more difficult role to nail (arguably one of the hardest Best Actor-winning performances if we're talking about having to navigate extremely tricky material and make it actually work), so I'll by voting for Forrest Gump.

Good morning, Oscar Buzz. I'm listening.

While I think Gump is the more impressive performance, I actually prefer Cast Away overall. One of those movies that I would always find myself stopping to watch whenever it was on cable... just never fails to suck me in no matter what part of it happened to be playing.

I like Gump fine, but my affection for it has waned a lot over the years – probably a combo of having seen it too much and realizing at a certain point that it’s kind of a hollow movie.

I want all of you to enjoy your cake, so... enjoy.

Maybe “hollow” isn’t the right word, but for me the resonance of whatever ideas the film has is somewhat undercut by the gimmicky tour-guide-through-post-war-America conceit that feels like boomer-nostalgia pandering more than anything else. I still enjoy the film, so that probably sounds harsh...
