The Oscars never should have touched Best Picture. In 2009, the Academy changed Best Picture from five nominees total, to five-to-10 nominees. If Best Picture had remained only five nominees, which five movies would have been nominated? And which film should have actually won Best Picture?
Alex and Nick look at the Best Picture races from 2009-2023 and revise the Academy\\u2019s poor decisions. Stray topics include recent Oscar \\u201csnubs,\\u201d bad movie trailers, the idiocy of preferential voting, and strongly disliking a movie everyone loves.
