Retrospectives and Live Oscar Reactions are probably my favorites. You guys offer such a fresh perspective on how things didn't just happen out of nowhere. Great work!

One of the best years for film ever! Shawshank Redemption, Pulp Fiction & Forrest Gump are some of my favorites, all would have deserved Best Picture.

This was a great year!! I wish Ed Wood was nominated for best picture it’s Tim Burton’s best film IMO. I also love that Priscilla won Costume design such an inspired pick!

Wayyyy too obscure for the Oscars. We’re talking about a film that’s about a really awful old timey director that was given the worst film ever title. Only cinephiles would care about that

Should we talk about BAFTA here? It wasn't an Oscar precursor until 2001. In the 90s BAFTA were given 2 or even 3 months after the Oscar ceremony. Loved the video of course.

So happy to see these back! Hope for more in the near future

Man, I just adore Shawshank. I notice something new with every viewing and it makes it incredibly rewatchable. A well written, tight script, superb acting performances, a simple but powerful message and beautiful sound design. I don't think it will ever fall out of my top 10 favourites list

you hit the nail on the head - if you weren't there when Pulp Fiction came out then you have no idea at all. What that movie did - you came away energised and thrilled and entertained. But yes, America loves an underdog, a simpleton who rises above, despite the odds. US audiences didn't have to think too hard while watching Gump, but they did for Pulp Fiction so no surprises come Oscar night. Original Screenplay is the award given to the film which should, but will not, win Best Picture. It is and always has been, the consolation prize.

Yesss been waiting for this type of videos for over a year

Fun fact: John Travolta was originally offered the role of Forrest Gump.... he turned it down in order to do Pulp Fiction. Then he had to watch Tom Hanks win an Oscar for that role.

YESSS WEVE BEEN WAITINT FOR THIS

Great job! This year's Academy Awards was definitely divisive, to say the least.

Interesting that people continue to suggest that Travolta isn't really the lead in Pulp Fiction. Worth a rewatch because it's pretty obvious that he is. He is present in the diner sequence, the Vincent-Mia sequence, and the Mr Wolf sequence. He's the only character in the film that has that level of presence. Sam Jackson is in the opener but then doesn't appear again until the Wolf sequence. Between the opening and the Wolf sequence, Vincent (Travolta) has this whole "act" with Uma Thurman. There is one lead performance in Pulp Fiction, and one only. And it's clearly Travolta. We can screen count it too, but on narrative alone - it's clear cut. Also, minor points, if you're calling yourself Oscar "Expert" to can't say John Toll won his second Oscar this year - he won his first and the second came the next year for "Braveheart". Neverthleess, I love your commentary and how engaged and excited you are about films and how they're awarded. Fantastic stuff.

Same for Maltese Falcon, Noir believe it or not was considered Low brow entreatment at the time, and I believe Maltese Falcon was kind of like a "Mad Max furry road" or "Black Panter" were it was genre the acmdey dosen't care much for, that was so exceptionally good that they had to nominate it.

@@cepho8349 : I agree up to a point. Yes, it is true that good films are made all over the world and many people unfairly ignore a lot of them, but at the same time it is understandable that the vast majority of audiences are going to watch the most accessible movies. Many people, even intelligent ones, don't watch subtitled films. Being hearing-impaired, I have been used to watching with subtitles from an early age whenever possible (though theater speakers are usually loud enough that I don't need to), but some people find it too distracting. And even if they didn't need subtitles, some of those films would probably still be overlooked just because they have different cultural nuances. It's sad, because they miss out on some great cinema, but at the same time it is understandable that people want to watch movies they identify with and that they don't necessarily have to do a lot of heavy lifting. They see it as a chore to watch international films or even, in some cases, local independent films due to heavy subject matter or other reasons. But by the same token, just because it's not from Hollywood doesn't make it good either. One thing that happens is that even Americans or Western World citizens that do watch those films only receive access to a small percentage of the films made around the world so we aren't necessarily seeing the bad ones as often because it's harder to access. All of this is to say that there can be a consensus that a particular year is more impressive than another based on the output, but there's no concrete statement that you have to agree. I think 1994 was a very good year for commercial fare, but other years may be just as good or better. I think 1995 is a great year (in fact the letter half of the '90s was a terrific time to be young and watching movies... I was still in high school in 1994 and 1995)!

RED was my favorite film of that year and it would be on my top 10 of the decade. I really loved it as I usually do have that feeling about Kieslowski’s films. And yes, Hoop Dreams getting snubbed in Documentary was atrocious when it actually was worthy to be considered in Best Picture.

1994 was a stacked year. Forrest Gump, Pulp Fiction, and Shawshank Redemption all going for the prize. Four Weddings and A Funeral is a classic too but that and Quiz Show were kinda the nominees who were just happy to be there.

This was a fantastic video! Made my day! I’d love to see a retrospective on the 2015 Oscars. Birdman vs Boyhood, Michael Keaton somehow losing to Eddie Redmayne, the J. K.

I honestly feel pretty similarly about Forrest Gump and Pulp Fiction. What works about them is absolutely stellar, and certain scenes and characters definitely live up to the hype. However, there’s also parts of both movies I don’t love, Forrest Gump can get pretty unfocused and the voice Hanks puts on took a while for me to get used to. With Pulp Fiction, I adore John Travolta, Uma Thurman and Samuel L. Jackson’s characters, but when they aren’t on screen I feel the movie falls a little flat. However, The Shawshank Redemption is what I’d consider a perfect movie. Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins both give incredible performances, the cinematography is just insane, and the ending is one of the most satisfying in film history. It’d easily be my pick for the Oscar this year.
