Give These Best Picture winners a Break!
These Best Picture winners have one thing in common, their triumph lasted only one night, and it was a matter of time before their reputation would be forever soiled by the word "overrated", to the point that even Internet articles or Oscar-related lists would refer to them as "shocking wins".
Ineed, it seems like these movies would never be judged or criticized on the basis of their own qualities or weaknesses, but simply on the fact that they beat the "most popular" movie of their respective years. And the more popular the loser was, the more hated the winner became.
Now, it's time to give them the tribute they deserve, after all, enough is enough, they're not responsible for the movies they competed with, nor for the fact that they got the awards. So, which of these post-70's Best Picture winners most deserves a break, whether because it's a good movie/ great movie/ better than the "popular" one or simply deserved to win that Oscar?
