That's a hard one! Slumdog Millionaire was okay; Million Dollar Baby was pretty good. Otherwise, I dunno... American Beauty? Honestly, I've only seen one of the last ten Oscar Best Picture winners, so perhaps I'm not the best person to ask!

Despite all the noise, Joker is up for a number of nominations including Pheonix for best actor.

Not a snooze fest, damn good movie I thought

I'm still struggling with how the academy members decided that the piece of shit "Forrest Gump", was better than "Shawshank Redemption", back in 1995?

I must be the only person on earth who's never seen the Shawshank redemption, I did watch Forest Gump though and enjoyed the shrimp at Bubba Gump on Santa Monica Pier Razz

I could not agree more! I’ve tried to like it, watched it again recently cos hubby was and no Foxtel at the other house, it’s all right but not brilliant, shawshank redemption is brilliant, watched it at least 6-7 times, I get something new from it every time, just so good! Stui you would enjoy it. Million dollar baby is pretty good, but I prefer his other hit grand Torino, it’s a no for slum dog! Not bad but nothing special

Parasite wins best director and best international film so far. Should win best film too; it’s a ripper.

"Shawshank Redemption" or "Pulp Fiction" should have won best picture instead of "Forrest Gump".

It's cool now to hate on Forrest Gump but it made $678M with a $55M budget, people loved that movie and Jenny is the most evil female character in cinema history Laughing

Forrest Gump was a good movie, but I just think the other two I mentioned were better. Shawshank is considered one of the best movies ever.

1994 had a lot of great movies overall.

Cool or not, I sure do hate Forrest Gump! Managed to avoid it until the age of 20 when a work colleague convinced me that I needed to see it. That's a lesson to me for trying to be open-minded. Laughing

Never seen The Shawshank Redemption, but have a feeling it might not be my thing. I'm not much of a Tarantino fan, but Pulp Fiction has its merits and probably would have been a worthy winner that year.
