I thought Traffic and Hidden Dragon were good, but not to the level I could be unhappy they lost to Gladiator.

Hollywood likes epics. Gladiator is epic and Crowe and Phoenix both deliver.

"Also, it's boring and stupid."


That might be the worst movie take I have seen on here for a long time, congratulations.

Gladiator winning Best Picture was even more absurd than SiL a few years prior.




yet still not nearly as absurd as your takes

I’ve never realized how depressing this movie is. All the guy wants to do is be emperor and bang his sister, but in the end he gets killed by some dude from Spain and he never gets to bang his hot sister. Just a real downer

Could have been a good porn movie these days...

The field was Gladiator, Chocolat, Erin Brockovich, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Traffic.


Only 2 things I remember being great from Traffic are Benicio and he won an Oscar for it and the editing and Stephen Mirrione won an Oscar for that. Doesn't feel short changed.

Erin Brockovich got an Oscar for Julia Roberts and a nom for Albert Finney so it doesn't feel shortchanged either.

I feel like Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon was shortchanged. Would have given it Best Picture and Best Director.

CTHD is far, far better than every other movie in that list. It's not close

FWIW I agree with you. I watched it for the first in probably 15 years recently bc the ringer did a Rewatchables Podcast on it and was shocked how slow and boring it was most of the time. It was a bit of a chore to get through.

It's also stupid, even just internally. I love the way the guy just shrugs off the tiger.
