Well, the title is self-explanatory. Since 1927 over 400 movies have been nominated for the Best Picture award. Some of them deservingly so, some of them not. Some of them deservingly won, som of them undeservingly lost. What I am asking you is, what are your favorite Best Picture nominees? That includes those movies that won Best Picture as well as those that didn't.

My list goes like this:


1. L.A. Confidential
2. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
3. The Pianist
4. The Sixth Sense
5. The Green Mile
6. Star Wars: A New Hope
7. Gladiator
8. Forrest Gump
9. Platoon
10. American Beauty


Note: I have to re-watch Schindler's List

What are your picks? :)

Lecter excuse me for correcting you on facts - but how are there over 500 pictures nominated. Wouldn't it closer to

2005 - 1927 = 78 years * 5 = 390 nominations - not taking into account the number of early nominations.

And truthfully, TO ME, I don't care about the only the ones that were nominated - there were plenty of movies that should have been nominated so Oscar has made lots of mistakes.

Except for the LAST 2 YEARS WHERE OSCAR GOT EVERYTHING RIGHT - HE HE.

You know that up into the fourties there were years with 10 and 12 Best Picture nominees, right?

Because a lot of people see it has a great film, and I do not and just wanted everyone to know, where I stand on that.

Do you think Braveheart is the worst BP winner of all-time?
