Every Best Picture Nominee of the 2010's Ranked: The Full List

Scene from The Grand Budapest Hotel

At long last, Summer 2020 has come to an end. To make things more interesting, I have spent every week counting down all 88 films that were nominated for Best Picture between 2010 and 2019. It's a harrowing proposition, but one that produced some fruitful reflection on the films that helped to define the decade. As a wrap-up, I thought that I would run down, one last time, the films in ranked order along with who was the highest and lowest in any given year. This is more of a numbers column. If you want to commentary one very entry, please read the original rankings. So, without further ado, here's a look at everything good and bad about The Oscars' Best Picture category. To say the least, it's an interesting bunch.
