I have not seen a movie win best picture since Titanic that deserved it. Crash was an OK movie...but Cinderella Man was far better as were a number of other movies...they pick movies for political reasons and bore the heck out of me...so I don’t bother watching.
The only decent that has been made over the past 5 years was the German movie “The Lives of Others.” Nevermind “Best Foreign Film”, it should have won “Best Picture”, period.
Political reasons? The Best Picture winners tend to be fairly conservative...Shakespeare in Love, Gladiator, Return of the King...
