By Brett Blake Inspired by this piece over on The Playlist, Breanne Brennan and I decided to try our hands at ranking every Best Picture Academy Award winner in order from “worst” to “best,” in a relative sense. Speaking only for myself, I can say that this was almost an agonizing process; for all the flak the Oscars have (sometimes justifiably) received over the years, it can’t be denied that they have honored a lot of really great films, and to rank them is a tall order. Obviously, taste is subjective and usually not fixed in stone. As you’ll see, there’s a good deal of difference between our two lists (though a fair bit of approximate overlap, as well), and it’s also likely that these lists would look different if we compiled them next year, next month, or perhaps even tomorrow. Why did we do it, then? Because it’s fun, that’s why!
Feel free to leave feedback and tell us how badly we've screwed up these lists, and don't forget to watch the Academy Awards on Sunday night, March 2nd, on ABC.
