Look, I know my Oscar history which means I know what kind of bullshit it is. But when you're movie wins 11 Oscars (tied for the most ever actually) then IT HAS TO BE GOOD. That's all I'm saying.
Titanic got 11, Forrest Gump got 6, Gladiator and Braveheart got 5. All were terrible.
I wouldn't say the number of Oscars is predictive of anything but commercial success. And Shakespeare in Love was better than Saving Private Ryan (although neither deserved to win that year), because the former had some mild entertainment value beyond the first ten minutes.
Is there anyone I didn't manage to piss off with this post? I'm sure I can do better.
