The last "Best Picture" I liked even a little bit was Slumdog Millionaire in 2008, but that was a movie I could only take watching once. The last "Best Picture" I liked enough to keep watching repeatedly was Return of the King in 2003. The early 90s saw a couple such films I rewatched. So yeah, you might say I tend not to care about this category unless there's a wager involved, and I haven't had one of those related to the Oscars since . . . 2009. Once those wagers stopped, my interest in the Oscars stopped.

Just looking at the lists of winners and nominees and I'm kind of shocked by the nothingness there. And that they seemed to have doubled the list of nominees in 2009 is kind of a sad attempt to give more clout to mediocre movies.
