On this Thanksgiving, here are four films that I am thankful for.
4 Shots From 4 Films
Dunkirk (2017, Dir by Christopher Nolan)
Nomadland (2020, Dir by Chloe Zhao)
CODA (2021, Dir by Sian Heder)
Top Gun: Maverick (2022, Dir by Joseph Kosinski)

My list of my favorite Best Picture winners is a fluid one. There are a few — like All About Eve, It Happened One Night, the two Godfathers — that are always on the list. I love these four films with all my heart. Then there are films like No Country For Old Men that I think about and say, “Of course that’s going on the list!” There are other films that have snuck up on me. Until I was making out this list, I didn’t realize how much I truly did like Coda.
Anyway, here’s my top 8!

Today, I’m using this feature to take a look at the history of the Academy Award for Best Picture. Decade by decade, I’m going to highlight my picks for best of the winning films. To start with, here are 4 shots from 4 Films that won Best Picture during the 2020s! Here are….

Remember CODA?
I ask that because this 2021 film often seems to be forgotten about when people discuss the films that have won the Oscar for Best Picture. Indeed, when the Oscar nominations were first announced for that year, many commentators treated the film’s nomination as an afterthought. It was pointed out that CODA only had a total of three nominations, for Picture, Adapted Screenplay, and Best Supporting Actor. It was expected that Troy Kostur would win Best Supporting Actor but it was also felt that Best Picture would be won by one of the big nominees, like The Power of the Dog, Belfast, or West Side Story.
But, interestingly enough, the momentum began to shift shortly after the nominations were announced. The nomination brought the film to an entirely new audience, all of whom could stream the movie on Apple TV+. The members of the Academy who hadn’t seen the film before the nominations were announced watched the film and many reportedly fell in love with the simple but touching story of a teenage girl who must decide whether to go to music school or to stay at home with her deaf parents and older brother. By the time the Academy Awards were held, CODA had become the new front runner.
How did this happen? A lot of it had to do with the fact that CODA was an unabashedly emotional story, one that was specifically made to bring tears to the eyes of the audience. CODA was more humanistic than the remote and cold Power of the Dog. Whereas both West Side Story and Belfast were obviously made with Oscar glory in mind, the low-budget CODA felt as if it simply wanted to tell a good story. Unlike Dune, CODA was not made to launch a franchise and, unlike King Richard, it was about more than just one performance. Its straight-forward approach provided quite a contrast to the stylized flourishes of Nightmare Alley and Licorice Pizza. (Incidentally, Nightmare Alley and Licorice Pizza were my two favorite films of the year.) It should also be remembered that CODA, like the previous year’s Nomadland, was watched while many people were still hiding their faces behind masks, terrified of catching COVID. It was a time when many people were yearning for something that would just make them feel good.
And whatever else one might say about CODA, it’s definitely a feel good movie. From the wonderful moments when Ruby (Emilia Jones) discovers her love for singing to the slyly humorous and emotionally honest performances of Troy Kostur, Marlee Matlin, and Daniel Durant as Ruby’s parents and brother, CODA is a film that will make you smile and think about the people who you consider to be your family. It’s a sweet movie, one that reminds us that it’s okay to get emotional and that it’s okay to tell people that you love them and that, as an artform, film can be used for something other than just comic book adaptations.
That’s not say it’s a perfect film, of course. Those who complained that CODA had the flat look of a made-for-TV movie were not incorrect and the fact that most people ended up watching the movie on TV (or, in my case, on a laptop) did not help with the issue. As Ruby’s music teacher, Eugenio Derbez gives a rather broad performance that often fells at odd with the more realistic work of the rest of the cast. The film had its flaws but it also made me smile and the end brought real tears to my mismatched eyes and there’s something to be said for that. During a year when many people were still afraid to get close to anyone else, CODA was a film that celebrated love, family, and community.
Did CODA deserve to win Best Picture? Like I said, I would have given the Oscar to either Nightmare Alley or Licorice Pizza but I liked CODA and, looking back, I certainly prefer its positive vibes to the well-made emptiness of Power of the Dog. The low-key CODA is probably destined to join The Artist and Argo as one of the best picture winners that people tend to forget but no matter. It’s a film that holds up well and, in 2021, it was exactly the film that a lot of people needed.
Let’s just be honest about this.
No matter what else you or I might have to say about the Academy Awards, the only thing that anyone is going to remember about this year’s ceremony is Will Smith walking up on stage and slapping Chris Rock. That’s it. That’s what these awards are going to be known for. Whenever this ceremony is written about in the future, the accompanying picture won’t be of the cast and crew of CODA. Instead, it’ll be Will Smith slapping Chris Rock.
The Slap, itself, was unpleasant to watch. Will Smith sitting back down in his chair and continuing to shout at Chris Rock was unpleasant to watch. It left me feeling awkward and uncomfortable and I was just watching it on TV. I can only guess what it was like the celebrities sitting in the auditorium. You know that they were probably terrified that something unexpected would happen with the vote for Best Actor. At that moment, there was probably a lot of worry about what would happen if Andrew Garfield pulled off an upset.
Will Smith, however, did win Best Actor. After making a few “fierce protector” excuses, he did, eventually, get around to apologizing to the Academy and “my fellow nominees.” He also did a lot of God talk and I’m not sure if it’s a good idea to mention God twenty minutes after slapping someone on national TV. He mentioned that Denzel Washington had apparently taken him aside and warned him that the Devil would come for him at the height of his success. Which …. I mean, okay. The thing is, Will Smith is 53 years old and he’s been a star longer than I’ve been alive. By this point, the Devil should have moved on to someone else.
A few notes on the rest of the show:
It was good to see the show taking place in a theater, as opposed to a train station. Just by using an actual theater, this year’s Oscar ceremony was a significant improvement over the previous year’s.
The hosts were pretty boring. There was nothing gained by having three of them. Amy Schumer needs to fire whoever picked out her first outfit. If Schumer picked it out herself, she needs to hire someone to pick out her outfits. Regina Hall looked lost. Wanda Sykes was okay but that museum segment bogged down the whole show.
CODA is a likable film and it’s obvious that the audience appreciated its heartwarming approach more than the emotionally detached style of The Power of the Dog. The fact that this tiny little indie film managed to defeat the expensive Netflix slate was gratifying in a David vs. Goliath sort of way. CODA, if we’re going to be honest, really does feel more like a made-for-TV movie than a feature film but I think that, emotionally and mentally, people were just ready for a positive movie that wouldn’t leave them feeling disturbed or depressed. After two years straight of pandemic panic, voters were perhaps not inclined to honor a film that ends with its main character dying on anthrax poisoning.
Dune swept the technical awards and ended the night with the most Oscars. Dune II is probably going to win Best Picture.
Troy Kostur’s acceptance speech was definitely the most moving part of the night. It’s a bit of a shame that it’s going to be forever overshadowed by The Slap.
Politically, it was pretty much a typical Oscar ceremony. At this point, I think anyone who cares enough to be offended by Hollywood’s liberalism has probably already stopped watching the Oscars.
As the Academy promised, the cut categories (i.e., the Oscars there were awarded before the start of the live show) were edited into and shown during the show. They were awkwardly inserted, so that we would see the people in the auditorium reacting to a speech that was given two hours earlier. It just came across as weird and fake and, whenever the hosts did anything, I found myself thinking, “They cut categories for this.” Even a brilliant hosting trio would have suffered as a result. In this case, you had Amy Schumer dressed like Spider-Man on live TV while the winner for Best Film Editing had to make due with edited highlights of his speech.
What’s hilarious is that, even with all of ABC’s new measures, this year’s Oscar run longer than the previous two years. The total show clocked in at nearly 220 minutes. For comparison, that’s 20 minutes longer than The Godfather, Part II. Will Smith’s acceptance speech alone ran for seven minutes. Of course, would you want to be the person tasked to tell Will Smith to wrap it up?
It was hard to tell but I guess Army of the Dead won the Twitter Poll and Zack Snyder’s Justice League won the Oscar Cheer Moment thing. Even from just watching on TV, it was obvious how annoyed everyone in the auditorium was with them. Personally, I have to respect the ability of the Snyder fandom to game the system.
The interpretive dance that went along with the In Memoriam segment was distracting and annoying. If I’m ever included in a memoriam segment, I’m hoping there will be no gospel music and no interpretive dancing.
The Godfather tribute was nice but I wish they had gotten Sofia Coppola to do the introduction instead of Sean “Whatever” Combs.
In the end, the Oscars weren’t as much of a train wreck as I thought they would be but it was still a fairly unfortunate ceremony. The category cutting didn’t sit well and I doubt I’ll ever be comfortable with that. (It’s something that I hope will be abandoned in the future.) This ceremony will always be known for The Slap and probably not much else. I would say that I would hope the Academy and ABC would learn from this but the only thing they care about is ratings. If the ratings are good, ABC will take the credit. If the rating are bad, the Academy will get the blame. Who knows what next year will bring?
Speaking of next year, that’s what I am now concentrating on! There’s a lot of good movies coming out over the next few months and a whole new Oscar race to prepare for! Let’s get to it!

Well, since the big show is tomorrow, I guess it’s time for me to try to predict what I think will win. Up until four weeks ago, I would thought Power of the Dog would be the obvious front runner but CODA seems to be the film that people are responding too. The same is true of Penelope Cruz, who went from being an also-ran to the new front runner in just a matter of days.
In short, this Oscar race is up in the air. Almost anything could happen. It should be exciting, though I think most people will be tuning in not to see who wins but to see how bad the show is.
Anyway, here are my predictions! We’ll see how right I am (or how wrong I am) tomorrow night!

I’m a little late in reporting this but last night, the Producers Guild of America announced their picks for the best of 2021 and they promptly threw the Oscar race into chaos by selecting CODA, instead of the Power of the Dog. Today, there’s a lot of people talking about the possibility of DGA winner Jane Campion taking Best Director while CODA, which also won the SAG Ensemble Award, takes Best Picture.
It could happen. We’ll find out for sure next Sunday!

The SAG Awards were handed out earlier tonight. On the one hand, I’m kind of surprised and a little bit annoyed that Jessica Chastain won Best Actress for a performance that was not really that good. On the other hand, I’m super happy for the cast and crew of CODA!
To be honest, this year’s Oscar race feels like it’s pretty wide open, especially when it comes to the race for Best Actress. I’m not sure that anything’s more clear after the SAG awards, beyond the fact that Troy Kostur appears to be the new front runner for the Supporting Actor award.

With the Oscar nominations due to be announced tomorrow, now is the time that the Shattered Lens indulges in a little something called, “What if Lisa Marie had all the power.” Listed below are my personal Oscar nominations. Please note that these are not the films that I necessarily think will be nominated. The fact of the matter is that the many of them will not be. Instead, these are the films that would be nominated if I was solely responsible for deciding the nominees this year. Winners are listed in bold.
I should also point out that, unlike the Academy (which is using a March to December, 2021 eligibility window), I am using a January to December 2021 eligibility window. So, you may see a few nominees below that were technically nominated for the 2020 Oscars, despite the fact that the films themselves were not really given a theatrical release until the the first few months of 2021. The Father is probably the most obvious example of this.
It should also go without saying that I’ve only nominated films that I’ve actually seen. So, if you’re wondering why a certain film wasn’t nominated, it’s always possible that may have not gotten the opportunity to see it yet. I have a feeling that The Souvenir Part II and Cyrano would have potentially shown up in the list of nominee below if either one of those films was currently available in my part of the world. Of course, it’s also possible that I didn’t feel that a certain film was worthy of a nomination, despite what the critics may see. In the end, my best advice is not to worry too much about it. I’m not an Academy voter so ultimately, this is all for fun and that’s the spirit in which it should be taken.
You’ll also note that I’ve added four categories, all of which I believe the Academy should adopt — Best Voice-Over Performance, Best Casting, Best Stunt Work, and Best Overall Use Of Music In A Film.
Click on the links to see my nominations for 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, and 2010!)
