Take 2013 - Was 12 Years a Slave really better than Captain Phillips, Gravity or The Wolf of Wall Street?
I would say Wolf is by far the more popular and loved film.
2015 - Spotlight. Seriously? Better than The Revenant and Mad Max Fury Road. Definitely not but it's certainly more worthy.
Nos mentioned The Shape of Water. Certainly it's original so i'll give it that but Dunkirk was also nominated. |
It's a good question on the 2013 Oscars.
Gravity was an exceptional piece of filmmaking and
The Wolf of Wall Street was also incredibly good. I thought – and still think – [D]12 Years a Slave[/B] is an incredibly powerful and important film, a compelling story which was brilliantly realised by Steve McQueen.
I think it's a better film than
Captain Phillips and
The Wolf of Wall Street but very tough to compare with
Gravity because they are so different.
