You really aren't doing yourself any favors here today. Please, enlighten us on what films should've been nominated over the years. Watch him name a summer blockbuster that uses 3D as a crutch. Who the are you to judge what you assume I would enjoy? What even gives you the idea that I would choose that? Because I think films like Birdman, while enjoyable, mostly won because of the one-shot gimmick? Way to be a prick, and gang up on me with a certified troll. Swear to God this forum is full of the most ignorant man-children on the Internet. oh, also; Nightcrawler Gone Girl the Social Network Drive The Dark Knight Inception just in recent years alone, Mr. Sonic Avatar. Clearly your tastes are vastly superior to mine, though

Those are all great movies, by the way, and in my collection.

Clearly your tastes are vastly superior to mine, though It won because it's a huge achievement in the art of film making. I know, that's irrelevant to you, but it's a pretty big deal. If that's the reason you dont appreciate the winning films, then that's your fault, not the people who recognize them for what they are. And I must say, Nightcrawler was one of the most disappointing films ever to me. Drive is hardly Oscar worthy, and the rest were at least nominated.

And of course, Leo. Several times over. Basketball Diaries, Shutter Island, Inception, Gilbert Grape, Titanic, Departed, Revenant, WoW, Gangs of New York, Django...I mean come the on. I'm not in the "why doesn't Leo have an Oscar?" boat because frankly I never felt he had the best performance in any given year compared to who he was up against, but he's a great actor who probably has the best resume of any actor in the past like fifteen years so I get it ... but Gangs of New York? He's not even the best performance in that movie, and he'd be up against guys like Nic Cage for Adaptation and Michael Caine for The Quiet American. He was the absolute best part of Django by leaps and bounds and Waltz won instead. Leo was the best part of Django, period. You can't say an actor from the same film, in the same category, deserves the award when he was inferior. I loved Waltz in IB, he was sensational, but he wasn't nearly as good as Leo in Django. Leo wasn't even nominated that year. It doesn't matter, none of it matters. Leo is winning this year and we can be done with this conversation.

I've seen all 88 films that's won for the "best picture" category(soon to be 89). History hasn't been kind to quite a few of them. As I mentioned in the #oscarsowhite thread, world films have suffered the most. They didn't get a category until 1946, nearly 20 years after the award ceremony started. So there's a staggering amount of films that should have been nominated and in many cases won for best picture. In modern film history, "Crash" was the movie that time didn't need take place to know they got it wrong. It was instantaneously the wrong pick.

I'm not a fan of Gangs of New York. Wasn't trying to defend that one. I was stating my case that he was the best performance the year that Waltz won for Django.

Ah gotcha, but I meant it in regards to his performances that were actually nominated. For what it's worth I probably do agree with you about him in Django.

Dicaprio how bout wahlberg or Dicaprio or Damon For The Departed or Dicaprio for just about idk the last 15 years of films hes done ?

This is just looking at his four nominations (prior to the current one obviously):
2013 for The Wolf of Wall Street. He was up against McConaughey, Bale, Dern, and Ejiofor. Tough year. I can see why Leo didn't win though. 2006 for Blood Diamond. I thought Leo was great...but Forest Whitaker deserved it that year. 2005 for The Aviator. I feel like Eastwood or Depp should have won. I think that not only was Leo out this year, but Foxx shouldn't have gotten it either.
So far, we agree...but here's the biggie...
1993 for What's Eating Gilbert Grape. Come on. I'm a big Tommy Lee Jones fan, but Leo should definitely have won this. Don't get me wrong, I also think that Fiennes and Malkovich could also have laid claim to this one...but Leo should have gotten it.
Over and above all of that, I think that it's a damned shame that neither Sean Astin nor Andy Serkis were nominated for Oscars for LOTR.

Saving Private Ryan should have won Best Picture instead of Shakespeare in Love
Edward Norton should have won Best Actor for American History X instead of Roberto Benigni for Life is Beautiful
Fargo should have won Best Picture instead of The English Patient
William H. Macy should have won Best Supporting Actor for Fargo instead of Cuba Gooding, Jr. for Jerry Maguire
Denzel Washington should have won Best Actor for Malcolm X instead of Al Pacino for Scent of a Woman

I don't disagree that it was definitely a contender that year...unfortunately, it was stacked up against some really really good movies. I haven't seen The King's Speech, so I can't say whether or not that "deserved" the Oscar...but TS3 was up against The King's Speech, 127 Hours, Black Swan, The Fighter, Inception, The Kids Are All Right, The Social Network, True Grit, and Winter's Bone. Tough year! I could have definitely seen pretty much any of them being the winner.
