Every year, thousands of talented individuals create hundreds of spectacular films. To celebrate the industry's talent, the Oscars are held every February to award said individuals and movies. But the highlight of the event is always Best Picture, the award given to what the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences deem the greatest movie of the year. Previous winners of the prestigious award include classics like The Godfather and recent phenoms such as Oppenheimer.
As the first modern movie here, it's easier for fans to criticize it without the blanket of aging poorly or old filmmaking swaying decisions. It might be harsh to call Nomadland one of the all-time worst Best Picture winners, considering it's one of the greatest minimalist movies, but without time skewing our perception, the film can come off as boring.
While many older reviews, and many new ones, praise the beautiful direction, charming moments, splendid acting, and entertaining songs, much of the film doesn't hold up. Viewing it with modern opinion makes Gigi almost unwatchable with its creepy material and pedophilic overtones, making it an incredibly disturbing movie nowadays.
While for its time, critics considered Cavalcade a phenomenal movie with an ambitious story, today, it is another boring old movie with little intrigue. The movie is a tedious slog that hasn't aged well at all, with many moments feeling humorous by today's standards, such as a smash cut from a couple talking about their promising future on the Titanic. Cavalcade is often puzzling and contradictory, making it an epic that doesn't earn its status as an Oscar-winning war movie.
Like Nomadland, it could be recency bias that has so many fans disliking Green Book, but the film has no excuses, with it being a modern-day picture. The white savior narrative irked many fans, especially Spike Lee, who attempted to leave the venue after learning of its Best Picture win. While Viggo Mortensen stands by the true story of the film, it wasn't even executed well, coming off in the wrong way.
