Best Picture Nominees
I am working on a year-by-year discussion of the Best Picture nominees.
Each year's page will include the following: a discussion of that
year at the Oscars; my comments on each nominee, including a list
of the Oscars each film was nominated for and won; and a list of
my top ten films from that year.
I started this project back when I actually thought that the Oscars
had something to do with actual quality of film. I've continued
it because I like to finish things that I start, and because I'm
so close, but mainly because I think the Oscars are a valuable window
into what mainstream people of a given year thought was good.

full reviews.
