Thank you for using movies that normal people might have seen or heard of, unlike what the academy seems to do every year with the "best picture" nominations.

2 musicals, 6 digital cartoons, 2 1/2 movies for thinking people. Lincoln, The Iron Lady and True Grit were all in the thick of Oscar nominations and wins.

It's kinda sad. Back in the day, the movies that won were more popular, but also popular movies were better.

Big-budget movies of years past generally were better though. This phenomenon and the reasons for it are well-documented, but in short, just look at the Best Picture winners. You used to have movies like Gladiator and Forrest Gump, which had *both* big budgets and artistic vision behind them. This is rarely the case now. The money is all poured into pre-sold franchises, superhero movies, and reboots that are designed entirely to maximize profitability, usually at the expense of creativity. So you can choose between Iron Man 7 on a $300 million budget or Nomadland, which is borderline emotional abuse made on a really meager budget. The old "movie magic" is pretty much only available in Tom Cruise movies now. Look at the Best Picture winners from the '80s and '90s, then compare them to the last ten winners, and tell me you don't notice the difference. It's undeniable.

I will add that a notable exception--and probably the reason the media made such a preposterously huge deal about them--was last year's dual threat of Barbie and Oppenheimer. Both movies had a ton of money behind them and lots of creativity, and, wouldn't you know it, people showed up in droves to see them. Christopher Nolan is one of a very small group of current directors who gets to do original things on a big budget. Barbie felt like a perfect storm, and hopefully Greta Gerwig will be given the money and freedom again to match her talents. Hopefully it turns the tide, at least a little.

Ridiculous comment, whilst the academy does nominate some rubbish they're meant to be giving awards out for the best films of the year, not the one everyone has heard of.

If only the ones that were nominated weren't mostly ones released within the last month before the Oscars.

And yet they continue to fail in doing so. Example...The Artist was a good movie. It was quite good. But why did it win? Because they made it a silent film in 2011. Whoa. Birdman was ok. It was odd but compelling. Why did it win? Because it looked like a continuous shot. Whoa. Meanwhile, actual great movie Whiplash had to settle for just a nomination that year because they didn't fall into some silly moviemaking trope. They just made a perfect film. Say what you will about the Marvel movies, but to have as many films as they have and only have Black Panther nominated for best picture despite actual good writing in many of them is absurd. Lord of the Rings and Gladiator prove that you can have an action movie win Best Picture. But alas, that was so 2010 ago.

I agree the Academy often picks the wrong winner (although CODA and maybe Green Book aside I think they've been pretty good choices in the last few years) but that's different to saying everything the Academy nominates is bad. It's one of the only ways interesting films get decent publicity and it would be a shame if they stopped trying to highlight them in favour of highest box office.

I'm going to make a prediction based on my comment from 2022. The Tom Hanks film "Here" features Tom Hanks and Robin Wright being digitally de-aged. It also is filmed with a single fixed camera. In 2024, this is an incredibly novel filmmaking technique. While the movie has thus far been panned by moviegoers, my prediction is that it STILL gets a nomination for best picture. It may even win. Strictly because of the use of a novel filmmaking technique. The film SCREAMS Oscar bait and I won't be surprised if the Academy takes it.

For the 2019 answer is the first part not enough!? I mean ALL super hero movies are the ruddy same anyway, and it was the only one of that ‘franchise’ that came out that year.

What do you mean? They're all completely unique! For example, in this one, people wearing costumes fight, things get wrecked, and people die.

You have got to know that your company is doing something right when you have 4+ answers in this quiz. (Disney). With "Let It Go", "Avengers: Endgame", "Mulan" and "Marvel".

Nice update btw.

Why not accept Miserables for Les Misérables?

Level 49
Dec 7, 2022
Because there is a 'Les' before it.

Level 71
Dec 18, 2024
'Les' means 'the'. Normally the site allows you to drop 'the' in movie and book titles.
+4
Level 79
Dec 21, 2024
Yes, but that's because "The" is often dropped when discussing titles. People will say Lord of the Rings, Godfather Part II, Wizard of Oz, etc., even though all those actually begin with "The." The word is also dropped when alphabetizing titles (otherwise the "T" section would be massively overcrowded, and you'd end up going by the next word anyway.

Les Misérables, though, doesn't fit either of these. Since the title isn't translated into English, it's always said in its entirety (or shortened to Les Mis.) No one ever calls it just Misérables, and you'll definitely find it under "L" in title listings.

1917 was released in 2019, and even if it was released in early 2020 the theaters weren't sparsely attended.
