Simply Awesome or Crap: Academy Award Winners for Best Pictures




This is a new thing for me in where I go down the list of things related to a category/theme and just simply state whether it is AWESOME or CRAP. Other labels are IS GOOD, IT'S OK... or HAVEN'T SEEN IT. I may give some little reasons why, but most is no reasons, just simply states it. And these are entirely my opinions, so they're not concrete facts. Feel free to comment on whatever statement I made, to your anger's desires!

For this first one, I'm gonna start off something easy for all you movie geeks with the list of Best Pictures winner of the Academy. And I mean all of them! You all know the controversy of The Academy's choice for best movie of the year. So I'm going to take on this challenge. For this, I would say I haven't seen 60% of them like the older ones because I'm young as 22. So with the help of Wikipedia, lets start, shall we?
