The only ones I've seen are 12 Years a Slave and Spotlight being quite honest. I rarely have the desire to see any of the best pictures because I know they're mostly blatant Oscar grabs.

And IIRC my pick for most deserving BP that year stood no chance of even a nom because it was either a documentary or Chinese. I'm not sure if I'm mixing up years without looking it up.

Ex Machina was pretty basic and not best picture worthy IMO. Honestly, I haven't been enamored with any movie lately, really. So, this day and age, we're having mediocre films win awards because, well, everything has been mediocre lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
