The idea is to vote for the LEAST EGREGIOUS win, so by the last round we'll have the worst best picture decision the Academy ever made.
You aren't saying the Best Picture winner is a bad movie, necessarily, just that the other nominees were more deserving of the win.
You are voting based on the win over ALL other nominees. I only included certain losing nominees as an example of the egregiousness, and so you didn't have to go to wikipedia to remember what the winner beat out. For example, if you vote for The Artist, you are saying it is terrible that The Artist won over all other nominees, not just over Moneyball.
The years are based on the wikipedia list, which i think is roughly the year of the film's release. So if you google "1994 oscar best picture", you might get what I have as 1993 above. I'd prefer wikipedia use the year of the ceremony, but i just used what they had to make referencing easier.
I want to give a special shout out to an option I did not include: 2007. No Country For Old Men beat out Michael Clayton and There Will Be Blood. All three of those are awesome and a good argument could be made for any of of those winning, so I didn't include it as an option. What a great year for movies!

the divide here is what do you feel more strongly about: Crash being bad, or GoodfellasTremors, also released in 1990 being the greatest movie of all time?
Do you want to dance while also thinking about all the ways you've failed as a human?

I think the Goodfellas loss is made even worse by it not being the first time Scorsese and his work had been snubbed.
This is really a battle of what’s the most embarrassing example of Hollywood liberalism. It’s probably the paint by numbers racism is a surface level problem Altman wannabe winning over Brokeback Mountain. Good Night and Good Luck and Munich were also much better than Crash.
looking at the other movies Goodfellas was up against and yeesh, Ghost (only hear about as a joke), Awakenings (never heard of it), Godfather 3 (another one that's ripe for jokes). ol' Marty must've been gutted, probably thought it was gonna be a shoe in.

he got his makeup oscar sixteen years later with The Departed. and i'm not slighting The Departed i fucking love that movie. objectively Goodfellas is better, but any given day if you ask me my favorite Scorsese movie i might blurt out The Departed.
already best picture buzz around Killers Of The Flower Moon so maybe he'll do it again.

Goodfellas and The Departed are so rewatchable. I must’ve seen both at least a dozen times.
Only voting for Crash because it’s embarrassingly bad.

I'm voting for Crash as the LEAST egregious because Goodfellas losing is MOST egregious
yeah friendly reminder to everyone this round is still vote for LEAST egregious. so if you think the Dances With Wolves win was the most egregious, vote Crash. If you think the Crash win was most egregious, vote Dances With Wolves.
usually this is flipped in the final round but i messed it up.
