In response to "What do you consider the last worthy winner? -- nm" by David

I will add that out of the last ten years, I consider all of these films worthy:

Posted by David (aka David) Feb 11 '15, 09:29

Argo
The Artist
The Hurt Locker
Slumdog Millionaire
The Departed

No Country for Old Men is borderline. Not all of these were my favorite nominees during their years, but all of them are great films.

Then for me, it's only The Artist, No Country and maaaaaybe Slumdog. (I haven't seen Hurt Locker or 12 years A Slave) -- nm - Roger More Feb 11, 09:59
By worthy, do you mean that you agree it is the best? Or that the movie winning is an acceptable outcome? -- nm - Roger More Feb 11, 09:49 2
- Acceptable outcome. -- nm - David Feb 11, 09:50 1
  - Just where do you think we are, this is the Internet. Pick one for each year and fight for it tooth and nail! -- nm - con_carne Feb 11, 09:56
yes, There Will Be Blood > No Country for Old Men -- nm - Jovian Feb 11, 09:33
Interesting. No Country is the one I would put before the others in that field. - Name Withheld By Request Feb 11, 09:33
12 Years A Slave doesn't make the list? That's surprising. -- nm - Inigo Feb 11, 09:32 3
- IIRC, it was my least favorite of last year's nominees. -- nm - David Feb 11, 09:33 2
  - I just looked and my order was Gravity, Nebraska, Captain Phillips, Her, Philomena, DBC, 12 Years, Wolf, Hustle. - David Feb 11, 09:36
  - Her was nominated. -- nm - ty97 Feb 11, 09:34
I really need to rewatch the departed. -- nm - sweet cheesarella barbacorn Feb 11, 09:31 6
- Turn on tv. It's on. AMC or TBS or something seems to have it on every day. -- nm - volnelk Feb 11, 09:42 1
  - It was on yesterday evening. -- nm - Krusty Feb 11, 09:44
- I've rewatched it twice recently. It's both very good and very bad. Grotesque camera angles,overacting from the guys, and wtc with the flip phones -- nm - Max Feb 11, 09:37
- If you haven't watched Infernal Affairs, I highly recommend it. -- nm - David Feb 11, 09:34 1
  - Yep, both are really well done, and the contrast between them is interesting -- nm - prayformojo Feb 11, 09:37
- I really need to watch it. -- nm - decline Feb 11, 09:32
