Post subject: | You Pick the BP Nominees |
by year. What would you have liked to have seen nominated? I think the factors that contribute to mine are: 1. personal preference / my favorites; 2. factoring in somewhat what would provide satisfying amount of genre breadth among the nominees; 3. what would have seemed right in the moment, i.e. critical and popular opinion, cultural temperature. (But prioritizing by far my own taste!) 1999 The Matrix Fight Club American Beauty Being John Malkovich Magnolia alternates: Three Kings, The Sixth Sense, Office Space, Toy Story 2, Election 2000 Almost Famous Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon Gladiator Requiem for a Dream Erin Brockovich 2001 Memento The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring The Royal Tenenbaums A Beautiful Mind Moulin Rouge! damn, there's also A.I., Waking Life, Vanilla Sky, Amelie, Monsters Inc, Donnie Darko..... 2002 Adaptation Spirited Away Minority Report The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers 25th Hour 2003 Finding Nemo The Last Samurai Monster Lost in Translation School of Rock alternates: Big Fish, In America, Kill Bill Volume 1, The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King 2004 Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind The Motorcycle Diaries The Incredibles Before Sunset The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou alternates: The Aviator, Sideways, Kill Bill Volume 2, Million Dollar Baby 2005 Brokeback Mountain Munich The Squid and the Whale ...uhh...... ...........hhh........ 2006 Children of Men The Fountain The Prestige Stranger Than Fiction Pan's Labyrinth 2007 Ratatouille There Will Be Blood Atonement No Country for Old Men Knocked Up 2008 The Dark Knight WALL-E Slumdog Millionaire Vicky Christina Barcelona Burn After Reading / Waltz With Bashir / Milk / Forgetting Sarah Marshall damn this year was good... need more nominee slots.... also has Speed Racer, Step Brothers, Man on Wire, Doubt, The Wrestler, Let the Right One In..... wowza! 2009 Avatar Fantastic Mr. Fox A Serious Man The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus District 9 The Hurt Locker Bright Star 2010 The Social Network Black Swan Toy Story 3 The Kids are All Right The King's Speech Inception The Fighter 127 Hours the Oscars kinda nailed the lineup this year... I believe this is close to the actual nominees! 2011 Oscar Cancelled Due to Insufficient Quality 2012 Cloud Atlas Life of Pi Silver Linings Playbook Skyfall Magic Mike The Dark Knight Rises Argo The Master 2013 Gravity 12 Years a Slave The Wolf of Wall Street Before Midnight All is Lost Short Term 12 Enough Said Side Effects The Spectacular Now 2014 Boyhood Birdman The Grand Budapest Hotel Gone Girl Interstellar Whiplash The Tale of the Princess Kaguya Dawn of the Planet of the Apes 2015 Mad Max: Fury Road Ex Machina Inside Out Anomalisa Spotlight The Revenant Carol The Big Short Brooklyn Slow West 2016 Moonlight Arrival A Monster Calls American Honey The Witch La La Land Hunt for the Wilderpeople Captain Fantastic 2017 Call Me By Your Name Lady Bird Get Out Star Wars: The Last Jedi mother! Phantom Thread Ingrid Goes West Coco Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri The Florida Project helluva year for inclusivity... majority of these are women led, and yes, another gay BP, you're welcome 2018 First Reformed The Ballad of Buster Scruggs Eighth Grade The Favourite Isle of Dogs The Hate U Give Green Book Tully Blackkklansmen Annihilation notes: --Pixar gets their due (nominations) --as does Chris Nolan, Coen Brothers, Wes Anderson --confession, it seems my Oscars are generally #sowhite #somale #racistviewinghabits But personally, I think these are so, so, so much better than the real ones. |

Good idea for a thread, trying to mix personal preference with what is objectively good and what was legitimately pleasing to the audience. I'm only gonna do the 10s for now. 2010 Scott Pilgrim vs The World - my favorite The Social Network - the movie that should have won Inception Toy Story 3 Black Swan The Fighter How To Train Your Dragon True Grit -Oscar did pretty well that year. I'd like to see a bit more diversity but there isn't much to pick from. 2011 Drive Bridesmaids Attack the Block The Artist The Ides of March Contagion Midnight In Paris Harry Potter 8 - for the legacy -Oscars did awful this year. I gave them The Artist and Paris back to be nice but the rest was ridiculous. 2012 Django Unchained Life of Pi The Avengers - cmon it had never been done before and they nailed it Argo - This was the year of the Benaissance after all Skyfall The Cabin in the Woods The Dark Knight Rises - the category was expanded to let this get in .. and then it didn't lol Moonrise Kingdom The Perks of Being a Wallflower - haven't seen this but people love it Silver Linings Playbook -had to go full 10 here. Great year for genre films and dramas alike. 2013 Frozen Gravity 12 Years A Slave The Wolf of Wall Street Her Catching Fire Inside Llewyn Davis Side Effects - ehhhh, it's a decent list, but couldn't include my other two favs, Anchorman and Steel, cause they are far too divisive 2014 The Raid 2 Boyhood Guardians of the Galaxy John Wick Edge of Tomorrow Gone Girl Whiplash Inherent Vice Nightcrawler American Hustle -Amazign year for action movies. And FU Birdman. 2015 Inside Out Creed Mad Max - not my favorite but it was the hot ticket that year Spotlight - cause we cant let them get away with it! It Follows Trainwreck Ex Machina The Revenant -And freaking See You Again needs to be there for Best Song. What a disrespectful tragedy that was. 2016 Zootopia Civil War Hail, Caesar! The Nice Guys Don't Breathe Moonlight - mehhh Arrival -Actually wait, sorry La La Land but we're actually going to give it to Arrival. I feel like everyone would have been happy with that. 2017 Coco Dunkirk The Last Jedi Ladybird Logan Call Me By Your Name - haven't seen but diversity!! Wonder Woman Three Billboards Get Out -Justice for Dunkirk! 2018 Mission Impossible: Fallout Black Panther A Star is Born Annihilation The Favorite - for KJ A Quiet Place Into The Spiderverse The Hate U Give - I dunno what else to put so let's go diversity again -Wakanda forever! I'll do more at some other point in time. |

thanks for the response Flav! I like your picks (and think you’re dead wrong about many of them! ) I cannot believe I forgot Her as a nominee in 2013. That actually would be my surprise winner that year over Gravity. I also like Avengers for 2012 (classic! unprecedented!), Catching Fire in 2013 (really a fire piece of cinema, the preceding and following chapters unfortunately lessen it in my mind), Nightcrawler in 2014 (totally deserving). |
