Um, no

You really think Infinity War should be up for Best Picture?

If The Godfather were released today it wouldn’t crack the top 20 at the Box Office.

There are several past winners that I don't think today's academy would seriously consider. They've clearly gone in a direction.

I doubt many of that great 70's decade of movies gets made today.

1970: Patton (#4)
1971: The French Connection (#2)
1972: The Godfather (#1)
1973: The Sting (#1)
1974: The Godfather Part II (#7)
1975: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (#3)
1976: Rocky (#1)
1977: Annie Hall (#10)
1978: The Deer Hunter (#9)
1979: Kamer vs Kramer

The worst movie out of all of them, Kramer vs Kramer would get made.

Don't know enough to judge whether Annie Hall gets made today because I don't remember enough about the little bit I saw. Tried to give Woody a chance back then, but don't like his stuff.
