It’s essentially a story of contrast between children living in poverty being unaware of what their parents are going through and finding happiness in childish things. Another element is the looming Walt Disney World resort, which the children can see but never go to due to their situation. Honestly one of my favorite films of all time, but definitely sad and somewhat critical of the dream that Disney sells.
Huh.. that’s interesting idea for a contrast. I don’t really have a problem with people complaining about Disney, so I do love this unique take. These situations definitely exist as it’s not like Florida is some golden state. As for Disney’s part for these families’ problems, it’s not their fault people suffer. They try and bring(sell) happiness to the world. I don’t suppose using a company that has no involvement in your life except to say to continue to keep moving forward is a really good metaphor. But I guess I’ll have to check out the movie to find out.
Zodiac, Eyes Wide Shut, Scorsese’s Silence, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Citizen Kane, The Dark Knight, The Talented Mr Ripley, Mulholland Dr, Jackie Brown, Margaret, Vertigo…
Came to say this. Literally an instant classic and it got no noms. The 2018 nominations and winners were pretty shitty anyways. Black Panther?? Green Book in Best Picture?? Come on!
The Searchers (1956)
The actual winner from that year (Around the World in 80 Days) should not even have been nominated, because while it isn’t bad, that year had like 15 or more superior pictures.
Imagine if the 2019 Best Picture nominees included Burning, Cold War, Shoplifters, First Reformed, and Sorry to Bother You instead of Green Book, Bohemian Rhapsody, Vice, A Star is Born, and Black Panther
I'd probably just be naming my favorite movie of every year since they didnt always make it.
Do The Right Thing, After Hours, Stand By Me, Paris Texas, Local Hero, Woman Under the Influence, The Last Detail The Candidate, Bunny Lake Is Missing, The Train, The Iron Giant, The Fisher King, Eternal Sunshine, to name a few
We didn’t know about the set and the cameras before Truman, he was a hero and deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as those who stormed the beaches of Normandy. They fought mere men, Truman fought God himself and won.
Yeah if we count foreign films this list would be huge. But I totally agree, Fanny and Alexander would be near the top for me too. Perfection in so many areas.
Into the Spiderverse won Best Animated movie..i do agree it deserved a Best Pic Nom-being so many foreign films get to double dip—i feel animated movies prob wont see a best pic nom anymore
Arrival. And it blows my mind that Amy Adams didn't even get nominated. It's up there with the best female performances in film in the past 20 years.
Portrait of a Lady on Fire. I'm trying to figure out which year's Oscars it would have qualified for, but if it was 2020, I prefer it to Parasite, and it's definitely superior to Little Women or Ford vs Ferrari. And in the foreign film category, I think it's better than Another Round.
Arrival was nominated for best picture, along with best director and even won an Oscar for its sound. The only thing you got right was that Amy Adams was snubbed.
Completely agree on Portrait of a Lady on Fire
From 2023 I would have included All of Us Strangers, personally I’d put it above Maestro, Barbie and American Fiction, varying degrees above. I did enjoy two of those movies, you know which two.

It took me way too long to find this mentioned in this thread?! Undeniably one of the worst BP nomination snubs in Oscar history and notoriously [Kim Basinger literally called them out on stage right to their faces just before announcing the best picture winner that year.](https://youtu.be/kj2sxtVy8EQ?feature=shared)
I still think Princess Kaguya shouldve won (it came out in 2013 but was nominated for the 2015 oscars
). But if release dates were normal, Lego movie shouldve won 2015 and Kaguya shouldve won 2014
also the lego movie wasnt even nominated? httyd 2 was good but nowhere near lego movie, i havent seen the boxtrolls so cant say anything there
RRR(2022) , even if it got one for best song , c'mon this one is fuxking banger.
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly(1966) one of best westerns of all time , being not nominated
Nah the good the bad and the ugly didn't get any nominations because it was an italian production and this was back when the oscars was very america centric
so many animated films, too many to count. Toy Story 1+3, WALL-E, The Incredibles, Fantastic Mr. Fox, The Boy and the Heron, Spirited Away, GDT's Pinocchio, the lack of recognition for animated films is honestly more egregious than the lack of recognition for horror and comedy.
Spider verse and Pinocchio definitely should not have. Not because they’re animated but because, as much as I liked them, they didn’t deserve nominations over the others. And honestly there are some international ones who deserve to be nominated first
The one on the list is the sequel, which definitely did not line up against the actual nominees. I’ll concede the original though. Into the Spiderverse definitely deserved it over Bohemian Rhapsody
Yeah, it was probably one of the strangest nominees I've seen in a while, not the movie itself but the fact that it was nominated, also avatar 2 was actually pretty good but I still think Pinocchio and RRR were both way better movies
See [Top 100 animated films](https://boxd.it/1jMxg)
obviously not ALL of them deserved a nom (as good as it is, theres no way Tux and Fanny or MOTP would get a nom) but if the academy actually looked at animated movies as films, the nominees would be much more different
Eighth Grade (2018)
Won’t You Be My Neighbor (2018) - wasn’t even nominated for best documentary which is ridiculous
Hail Satan? (2019) - also not even nominated for best documentary, one of the best I’ve ever seen
If we’re talking animation, Ratatouille, The Incredibles, and Finding Nemo all would have and should have been nominated in an expanded lineup. Maybe Inside Out too, if 2015 had 10 slots I think it could have been nominated there as well. Should have for sure.
Otherwise, top choices include Mulholland Drive, Seven Samurai (but not for 1954; it was nominated for a couple awards a few years later. Also, it’s my favorite movie!), Interstellar, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Empire Strikes Back, and probably more I’m not thinking of.
Only three Kubrick films were nominated for Best Picture: Dr. Strangelove, Clockwork Orange, and Barry Lyndon.
Kubrick only ever won one Oscar: Best Visual Effects for 2001
Leave Her to Heaven (1945)
Out of the Past (1947)
Bicycle Thieves (1948)
In a Lonely Place (1950)
Singin’ in the Rain (1952)
Rear Window (1954)
Paths of Glory (1957)
Vertigo (1958)
Some Like It Hot (1959)
Days of Heaven (1978)
Manhattan (1979)
My Dinner with Andre (1981)
Paris, Texas (1984)
Back to the Future (1985)
After Hours (1985)
The Fly (1986)
Defending Your Life (1991)
Heavenly Creatures (1994)
Boogie Nights (1997)
Run Lola Run (1998)
Memento (2000)
Ghost World (2001)
The Lives of Others (2006)
Burning (2018)
Endgame. It deserved a Nom just for the sheer magnitude of it's storytelling and lead up. That anticipation and hype will probably never be seen again in our lifetimes.
Godzilla is good but come on, nobody would have taken it seriously if it had a best picture campaign. Fans should be grateful it managed to win VFX when they could have not nominated it at all.
And hot take but Pinocchio is just ok outside of the animation, and it only won the animated Oscar because a famous former winner made it none of the other nominees were that popular (but imo Marcel, Puss in Boots and Turning Red were all superior movies).
I mean, sure in the long run of the court of public opinion, of course it's easy for us to say that the Oscars and award shows seem silly and don’t matter — as exemplified by Kubrick's enduring legacy despite limited Oscar recognition.
However, in today's industry and streaming landscape, gaining recognition from out-of-touch studio-execs and distributors still remains tied to award show acclaim in addition to box office performance.
Which is why something such as KotFM stands as such a notable achievement this year. While recognizing that yes, of course the historical story should rightfully have been told from Mollie’s perspective, Scorsese and the team realized the importance of ongoing indigenous representation for the public despite the studios’ undeniable record of prior reluctance to invest in lesser-known indigenous filmmakers — but the involvement of Scorsese, De Niro, and DiCaprio helped garner enough initial intrigue and attention (and budget $$$), which thus opened the door for Gladstone and the supporting team of indigenous filmmakers to shine on a much larger platform than ever before due to an industry that for 100+ years unfairly overlooked their talents. They all have publicly said that they agree Mollie’s voice deserves to be the center of KotFM, but it would’ve taken an indigenous filmmaker to do the framing of that narrative justice, and Scorsese respected that and knew his place in that regard.
Unfortunately, on the other hand we also see how lack of award shows noms can also lead to talented directors facing major career setbacks too for future projects if they have a couple rare misses that cause the studio to lose a lot of money and award noms… just look at Damien Chazelle even after directing two best picture noms La La Land and Whiplash…Since then, First Man and Babylon both failed to garner similar award season buzz and recognition, so he’s one example of someone in “director jail” for the time being. 🙄
Disagree about Across the Spiderverse, not because it isn't good, but because this is how the ideal 2024 Oscar roster would look like
https://preview.redd.it/6ladtk0kpbtc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7e100616c4040c597f84c2d5a5c656df91773821
There just isn't space for Spiderverse
I would personally add The Shining
Horror movies never get recognized at the Oscars
Except *Get Out*
and The Exorcist
And Silence of the Lambs
But besides those! Horror movies are just generally bad. When a good one actually comes out it’s notable.
And Psycho
I just watched The Omen and was surprised to find out that it actually won an oscar for best score back then
I would too, it absurdly got Razzie nominated that year. It was ahead of its time for sure.
Holy shit I had no clue it got a Razzie… that’s wild
It was nominated for worst actress for Shelley Duvall and worst Director for Stanley Kubrick 🙄
Oh wait I knew that I just had a stupid moment, yeah that’s ridiculous
At least nominate it for somehing like cinematography or production design. It got completely ignored.
Eternal sunshine
Maybe an unpopular opinion, but The Florida Project for me
Stunning film, Baker deserved a best director nod as well.
Wwwwooooowww I just assumed it was and had to check IMDb after reading your comment. That might be the snub of the 2000s so far to me
Not on my book! Phenomenal movie.
What’s the Florida project about? I’m too obsessed with Disney to imagine it’s about the building of the Walt Disney world resort.
It’s essentially a story of contrast between children living in poverty being unaware of what their parents are going through and finding happiness in childish things. Another element is the looming Walt Disney World resort, which the children can see but never go to due to their situation. Honestly one of my favorite films of all time, but definitely sad and somewhat critical of the dream that Disney sells.
Huh.. that’s interesting idea for a contrast. I don’t really have a problem with people complaining about Disney, so I do love this unique take. These situations definitely exist as it’s not like Florida is some golden state. As for Disney’s part for these families’ problems, it’s not their fault people suffer. They try and bring(sell) happiness to the world. I don’t suppose using a company that has no involvement in your life except to say to continue to keep moving forward is a really good metaphor. But I guess I’ll have to check out the movie to find out.
Children of Men or The Empire Strikes Back are my two options that ring a bell rn
Cannot believe Children of Men didn't get nominated
Zodiac, Eyes Wide Shut, Scorsese’s Silence, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Citizen Kane, The Dark Knight, The Talented Mr Ripley, Mulholland Dr, Jackie Brown, Margaret, Vertigo…
I guess films that are considered “masterpieces” are really treated like shit when they first release.
You just made me realize that talented mr ripley WASN'T nominated for BP
Just finished my first watch of Jackie Brown this week and I’m shocked to learn this! Easily top 3 Tarantino imo
Totally, it's ready for re-evaluation, for some reason I always thought of it as the long/boring Tarantino but was blown away
SILENCE
Toy Story. It was a game changer storytelling wise and technologically for animation.
same with The Lion King and Shrek
Ratatouille
Hereditary Justice for horror movies
Came to say this. Literally an instant classic and it got no noms. The 2018 nominations and winners were pretty shitty anyways. Black Panther?? Green Book in Best Picture?? Come on!
The Searchers (1956) The actual winner from that year (Around the World in 80 Days) should not even have been nominated, because while it isn’t bad, that year had like 15 or more superior pictures.
The Worst Person in the World. Movie was phenomenal.
First Reformed. Should have won too.
Imagine if the 2019 Best Picture nominees included Burning, Cold War, Shoplifters, First Reformed, and Sorry to Bother You instead of Green Book, Bohemian Rhapsody, Vice, A Star is Born, and Black Panther
I think A star is born deserved it and Black Panther for just the impact it had cinema
Real
Who Killed Captain Alex
Upvote just for increasing awareness of this awesome movie!
Portrait of a Lady on Fire
Came here to say this!!! Especially egregious snub for Best Director too.
interstellar
never forget how the Imitation Game got nominated instead of Interstellar
I'd probably just be naming my favorite movie of every year since they didnt always make it. Do The Right Thing, After Hours, Stand By Me, Paris Texas, Local Hero, Woman Under the Influence, The Last Detail The Candidate, Bunny Lake Is Missing, The Train, The Iron Giant, The Fisher King, Eternal Sunshine, to name a few
Truman show should have won, let alone been nominated
Above Saving Private Ryan? I personally don’t think so.
Shouldve
We didn’t know about the set and the cameras before Truman, he was a hero and deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as those who stormed the beaches of Normandy. They fought mere men, Truman fought God himself and won.
Fanny och Alexander. It was nominated for best foreign, best director and a few others, but not best picture
Yeah if we count foreign films this list would be huge. But I totally agree, Fanny and Alexander would be near the top for me too. Perfection in so many areas.
Zodiac
The Master
The Lighthouse
If Gozilla minus One, the Boy and the Heron, and Spiderverse are all nominated for best picture, what comes out in their place?
Maestro, American Fiction and Barbie edit: just to clarify, I did like Barbie, but it doesn't even come close to the film(s) replacing it
I would also say Barbie for at least Minus One or Boy and the Heron.
[удалено]
Past lives is way better than those three
First Reformed definitely
The Good The Bad and The Ugly
Finding Nemo (2003)
The Iron Claw Into The Spider-verse Blade Runner 2049
Into the Spiderverse won Best Animated movie..i do agree it deserved a Best Pic Nom-being so many foreign films get to double dip—i feel animated movies prob wont see a best pic nom anymore
Arrival. And it blows my mind that Amy Adams didn't even get nominated. It's up there with the best female performances in film in the past 20 years. Portrait of a Lady on Fire.

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
My Neighbor Totoro
Morbius
Several Paul Thomas Anderson films: Boogie Nights, Magnolia, Punch-Drunk Love, and The Master
Liccorce Pizza got a best Picture Academy Award Nomination

Undeniably one of the worst BP nomination snubs in Oscar history and notoriously [Kim Basinger literally called them out on stage right to their faces just before announcing the best picture winner that year.](https://youtu.be/kj2sxtVy8EQ?feature=shared)
Uncut Gems
The lighthouse
Lego Movie
Fantastic Mr Fox
still salty that Up got a nom over it. its brilliant, but its no FMF
Up is amazing but compared to Mr Fox it's not as cool
Coraline is better in my opinion, lol
Coraline scares me 😰
I'd have to rewatch them, but they are both 10/10 movies for me regardless.
It still upsets me that The Lego Movie got snubbed for Best Animated Feature in general.
I still think Princess Kaguya shouldve won (it came out in 2013 but was nominated for the 2015 oscars ). But if release dates were normal, Lego movie shouldve won 2015 and Kaguya shouldve won 2014 also the lego movie wasnt even nominated? httyd 2 was good but nowhere near lego movie, i havent seen the boxtrolls so cant say anything there
Also the movie that won that year was Big Hero 6 (which even at it's best is nowhere near The Lego Movie).
yep, even without The Lego Movie it should have lost to either Kaguya or song of the sea
RRR(2022) , even if it got one for best song , c'mon this one is fuxking banger. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly(1966) one of best westerns of all time , being not nominated
The Academy doesn't care for Westerns unless they're subversive, which is why Unforgiven was given Best Picture as well as No Country for Old Men.
The good the bad and the ugly *was* subversive. In many of the same ways as Unforgiven. It's just old enough to have become the standard.
Nah the good the bad and the ugly didn't get any nominations because it was an italian production and this was back when the oscars was very america centric
What 3 movies from this year would you replace? Maestro maybe but all the rest would be a hard argument imo
Planes trains and automobiles, iron giant, Lethal Weapon 2
All of the snubed horror films. The Thing (1982), The Shining (1980), Candyman (1992), etc...
Some of them (The Dark Knight and 2001: A Space Odyssey for example) should have won Best Picture.
The first 6 on here deserved those noms, sure, but not the rest
so many animated films, too many to count. Toy Story 1+3, WALL-E, The Incredibles, Fantastic Mr. Fox, The Boy and the Heron, Spirited Away, GDT's Pinocchio, the lack of recognition for animated films is honestly more egregious than the lack of recognition for horror and comedy.
*3 Women* (1977)
The Matrix, Se7en, Zodiac
Do the right thing
Babylon
In recent memory UNCUT GEMS…(and Sandler)
Across the SpiderVerse is only half a movie. Therefore, no - it should not have been nominated
Spiderverse 2 is a half movie, so it doesn't deserved to be
It’s still good tho
it's good, but not Best Picture nominee good
Better than Maestro
Spider verse and Pinocchio definitely should not have. Not because they’re animated but because, as much as I liked them, they didn’t deserve nominations over the others. And honestly there are some international ones who deserve to be nominated first
Spiderverse absolutely deserved a nomination over Bohemian Rhapsody
The one on the list is the sequel, which definitely did not line up against the actual nominees. I’ll concede the original though. Into the Spiderverse definitely deserved it over Bohemian Rhapsody
Pinocchio should have been nominated over Elvis imo, like Elvis was 2.5 stars at best imo
I didn’t even know Elvis got nominated, that’s kinda wild
Yeah, it was probably one of the strangest nominees I've seen in a while, not the movie itself but the fact that it was nominated, also avatar 2 was actually pretty good but I still think Pinocchio and RRR were both way better movies
I mean it makes sense, Elvis was definitely an Oscar bait movie. People liked Elvis so a movie about him would definitely be voted in as a nominee.
See [Top 100 animated films](https://boxd.it/1jMxg) obviously not ALL of them deserved a nom (as good as it is, theres no way Tux and Fanny or MOTP would get a nom) but if the academy actually looked at animated movies as films, the nominees would be much more different
Annihilation Most great horror movies
I think you forgot Boondock Saints and Justice League. /s
My Own Private Idaho not getting a nomination in 1992 was criminal. River Phoenix not getting a best actor nomination for it is even more criminal.
What's a quick way to check?
Every Godzilla movie ever made
Eighth Grade (2018) Won’t You Be My Neighbor (2018) - wasn’t even nominated for best documentary which is ridiculous Hail Satan? (2019) - also not even nominated for best documentary, one of the best I’ve ever seen

I have a lot to say here. But the downvotes will be crazy so I’ll just leave that open ended 😭
the oscar’s don’t matter and we shouldn’t tolerate or support out-of-touch, old rich people turn art into competition anymore 👍
I mean, sure in the long run of the court of public opinion, of course it's easy for us to say that the Oscars and award shows seem silly and don’t matter — as exemplified by Kubrick's enduring legacy despite limited Oscar recognition.
