What is a “Best Picture?” The award gets handed out every year, and our culture has collectively decided it’s a worthy title, one that means said film is agreeably very good, maybe even great. But taking a closer look at the various films that have won the Best Picture Oscar over the years, it’s clear the award doesn’t automatically equal longevity, or even quality. A Best Picture is a moment, a snapshot in time. Certain wins make sense given what was going on in the world during that particular year, certain wins make no sense at all in hindsight, and certain wins are just downright deserved.
