I still find it wild how stacked 2019 was.

[@DaveJohnson-d7i]

I think it had the same problem as 1999. A diverse bunch of great, successful movies that could have started a new trend, but then a big disaster happened shortly thereafter and people just wanted escapism again

I saw every possible Best Picture movie (and a few others nominated elsewhere) in a theater that year. Absolutely stacked

[@abhayxv76]

​@@aidanscorner847I thought the light house was 2018, but yeah it was an incredibly stacked year.

2010 always stands out to me. Best Picture nominees: Black Swan, 127 Hours, Inception, The Social Network, Toy Story 3..... and then The King's Speech won.

[@Arawn505]

and True Grit! When talking about 2010 movies that one gets a little bit forgotten, but it's my personal favorite from that year. The movie has really grown on me over the years.

[@originaozz]

and The King's Speech won!😅 I really like and adore that film, but over Inception or The Social Network was something.

[@osmanyousif7849]

Two years that stand out to me are 1994 and 1997, as both gave us movies that almost everyone went to see and either got nominated or won an award, but but had us rooting for them since we may have saw them, one way or another - 1994: The Lion King (4 nominations, 2 wins) Forrest Gump (13 nominations - including Best Picture, 6 wins) True Lies (1 nomination) The Mask (1 nomination) Speed (3 nominations, 2 wins) Four Weddings and a Funeral (2 nominations - including Best Picture) Interview with the Vampire (2 nominations) Clear and Present Danger (2 nominations) Pulp Fiction (7 nominations - including Best Picture, 1 win) 1997: Titanic (14 nominations - including Best Picture, 11 wins) The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1 nomination) Men in Black (3 nominations, 1 win) Air Force One (2 nominations) As Good as It Gets (7 nominations - including Best Picture, 2 wins) My Best Friend's Wedding (1 nomination) The Fifth Element (1 nomination) The Full Monty (4 nominations - including Best Picture, 1 win) Hercules (1 nomination) Face/Off (1 nomination)

As the years go by, i realise how important the Oscars are in keeping the films remembered. Too many great movies are swept under the carpet with time and putting an Oscar astrix gives it enough cache not to fall into the void of quantity

I've come to appreciate the oscars much more as a simple means to advertise and celebrate film - who cares if they don't always get it right, if it gets people talking about film in a fun way then that's great.

And just in general many good, fun, interesting movies, like Get Out, Call Me By Your Name, Baby Driver, A Ghost Story, Good Time, Thor: Ragnarok, Spiderman: Homecoming, Paddington 2... (First Reformed is technically also 2017, though it's more a 2018 movie)

[@pattongilbert]

[@deleted9371]

I’ve definitely felt a lack of something big to root for lately in terms of Oscar buzz. Big films like Anora, Conclave, Challengers and Dune 2 while all really good in their own right, I don’t have the passion about them I did for last years big films. Aside from my pipe dream of I Saw The TV Glow being nominated which unfortunately won’t happen in a million years, I can’t get behind anything rn and say “I want that to win best picture”.

[@24FrameTakes]

Another thing I think made last year and last Oscar season so great is that even with so many deserved nominations and wins, there were still so many films and people many of us would of loved to see nominated. Last year was THAT good

[@dajmasta94]

I think maybe what you’re talking about is that some years you can tell you’ve got a lot of movies that will probably still be culturally relevant and/or genuinely make an impact while other years it seems like even though the movies can be good, it doesn’t necessarily feel like the kinds of movies people will continue to talk about in the coming years. Sometimes I miss a movie that’s nominated and it just gets completely forgotten by me and seemingly everyone who saw it because I never really hear it mentioned again. I think maybe we can sorta feel when there’s a lot of heavy hitters

My real preference is a year where there are actual surprises, as opposed to last year where everyone knew what the 10 nominees were months beforehand. Because as long as Netflix exists, you're always going to get at least one movie that most film nerds hate in the lineup.

Not a good list overall, but The Tree of Life getting nominated was so exciting at the time (especially since it was so divisive - it was not a guarantee) that I think it redeems it. Plus, Hugo was also a genuinely great movie, and Moneyball and The Descendants were excellent.

[@lyssagracew]

For a minute I thought you were talking about the Disney version of descendants 😭😭

[@Medium_Johnson]

I think a major reason that last year was so big was because of the name recognition attached to a lot of the movies. Nolan, Scorsese, Lanthimos, Gerwig, RDJ, Emma Stone, etc. Whereas this year if you look at the frontrunners for Best Director, there really aren’t any big names other than Denis Villeneuve. And even he doesn’t seem to be a lock.

[@hydqjuliilq27]

Anora being not just an award contender but a best picture frontrunner is pretty insane because for years Baker has been one of those filmmakers people point at when arguing the Oscars are irrelevant and don’t get movies. If The Substance somehow launched into the top 10 (I don’t think it will) it would probably be one of the most populist lineups in a long time for the Letterboxd crowd.

[@benabramowitz18]

I personally think an Oscar year is strong when the blockbusters are good and we're not just awarding the same handful of genres.

I agree with the fact that the Oscar nominees don’t automatically determine whether we’ve had a good year for film. Because while the 2021 Oscars were objectively trash, 2021 was also the same year we got The Green Knight, Dune, The Tragedy of Macbeth, The Last Duel, Cop Shop, and Nine Days. All amazing films that the academy ignored because they have this absolute aversion to a little something called genre.

[@julilu423]

Feel like it's gonna be a straight head to head between the Brutalist vs Anora for best picture this year - As I've got older I've come to appreciate the oscars more, less so as a genuine rating system (lol, like realistically if I looked at my favourite film from every yr I'd also cringe at some of my picks from my taste in previous yrs) and more as a big advert for Film - just a solid and fun way to get people talking about and more importantly going to see films that they wouldn't necessarily go to see anyway.

[@Yvy-temp]

[@RootDown_]

I love a ton of movies that have come out this year, but not a lot really feel like "Oscars" movies. I think it feels this way because 2022 and 2023 had such powerhouse Oscars line-ups. 2022 had Everything Everywhere, Banshees, RRR, Fabelmans, Tar, Aftersun. 2023 had Past Lives, Poor Things, The Holdovers, Killers of the Flower Moon, Oppenheimer, Anatomy of a Fall, Zone of Interest. And a ton more. There aren't even very many options for Oscar-bait Biopic yet.

[@signatureroles]

I think this has been an incredible year for films.

[@XavierReichbaum]

Really hoping Challengers gets some noms. This year has been a bit weird though. There's been a lot of great horror this year but the academy's not gonna nominate any of it. The only win that I think is locked is Wild Robot winning best animated feature and even that may not happen lmao.

1993 and 1998 Oscar ceremonies will always stand out to me, honestly one of the most stacked Oscar decades, becuz once u go back in the years prior you get some very strange choices that have not stood the test of time at all. The 90s managed to balance popular acclaim and critical acclaim very well, where you had genuinely huge hits that were also critically beloved and are still fondly remember today

[@terminataroma1]

2008 is one of the best Oscar years in relatively recent memory. There will be blood and No Country for Old Men took most of the awards. I love the fact that these films were not your usual winners/nominees. 2007 was a great year for film, anyway. Of course, 2008 cannot compare with films made and awarded at the Oscars during the 60’s and 70’s. The talent and quality in films made back in those days is still unmatched.

[@brandoncaridi5229]

I think, for me, it comes down to a variety of types of films in the BP race. Think of 2010, 2019, and 2023 in terms of variety of genre. Psychological thriller, action, satire, character study, biopic, epic, indie drama, etc. I also think that, when release schedule is stretched across the year, you have more word of mouth and build up for some movies. You have a chance for movies to be seen by more of the public and less of the “I pay attention to art house movies, so I know what’s most likely getting a bunch of Oscar noms” chances.

[@nms7872]

[@distortedfeatures]

I would love 'Here' to be recognised at the next Oscars, although because of the negative reaction, I'm not sure how likely this is to happen. Personally, I found the film to be an emotional and beautifully done movie. It also is the first of its kind, being shown from only one angle. It is indeed pushing the medium to a certain extent and it was courageous and commendable of SONY to make it. Unsure of what category this would translate into...special effects perhaps? The de-aging was pretty good.

[@nicholasjoseph8297]

A good Oscar year for me is a year were most of the films should be diverse in style, genre, theme and accessibility level. Most of them should 9/10 or above with the few 8s having something worthy. The last 2 years were like that expect both had one mid film that stood out like a sore thumb. 2022 being Triangle of Sadness and 2023 being Maestro. This year would be if Blitz gets in. So far the 10 im predicting on the Awards Expert App are... In order of when I saw them. Dune part 2 - 10/10 Sing Sing - 10/10 The Substance - 9/10 Conclave - 8/10 Emilia Perez - 8/10 Anora - 10/10 A Real Pain - 9/10 Wicked - (seeing Thursday) The Brutalist (Not out yet) Nickel Boys (Not out yet) If the last 3 meet my expectations and all 10 get in, this will be the best Oscars since 2019 cause it would have the things im looking for.

[@absolutespider3532]

I'm generally against takes that just label a year as being bad for film because I feel every year has its smattering of great and interesting stuff, it's just you sometimes have to know where to look. Will admit that I don't think this year has been great when looking at uber-mainstream films, but we've still had stuff like Dune: Part 2 and Furiosa which I would say are at least very good to great. When it comes to the Oscars, I tend to call it a good year if I like most of big contenders. Feel like the last few years have been pretty good on that front but others disagreeing depending on their personal taste.

[@VicenteTorresAliasVits]

Karsten mentioned examples of certain years and their respective Best Picture line-ups. A lot of those movies were and still are talked about mostly in the context of the award season race but nothing beyond. I'm not saying every Best Picture winner should be like "The Return of the King". That's one of the extremes. I'm saying it shouldn't be the other extreme either ("The Artist", anyone?). There should be a middle ground. And a solution would be to change the mentality that all awards contenders should get a proper release after they've already been nominated at the Oscars or other important ceremonies. That should only be reserved for movies that will most likely fly under the radar without that kind of hype. It's pointless to do it with movies that will get enough attention anyway. It's not about which movies get the most votes from Academy members; it's about which movies get the most votes from Academy members *while* the general public roots for them. Look, there's this notion that we celebrate movies at the end of each year as a way to cement them as future classics, but it's harder than it seems. How can we predict which movies will stand the test of time? Which movies will age poorly and which movies will be re-evaluated having been panned at first? A good hint is the Best Picture Oscar... but not in the sense that the trophy validates a consensus; in the sense that a movie can simultaneously leave a mark in the industry and in pop culture.

[@ClaireWritesSometimes]

Do you think The Substance has a chance of a nomination, or any nominations? And do you think some distributors are right in delaying some festival acquisitions with buzz (mainly thinking about Neon witth Life of Chuck) to a release next year rather than going for this year's awards season?

[@signatureroles]

This year fun because it’s definitely not predictable- accept Kieran Culkin.

[@Sharpe1502]

I had been predicting Anora to win best picture all year. But now I’m thinking it could be Wicked or The Substance. Weird movies won when Trump was president/won. Not the common Oscar fare (Moonlight, The Shape of Water, and Parasite). I wonder if his win could spark another three or four years of odd wins. In any case, I think the winner next year is going to be something people aren’t expecting. Considering how angry women are, I have a feeling women voters are going to be voting for those two movies.
