The love for the film in the room was palpable, suggesting that the industry really responded to this film. The roar when it was announced as Best Picture is not something you hear often. He won fair and square, beating the hot favourite both on the popular and preferential ballots and suggesting it wasn’t even all that close.
share99% on Rotten Tomatoes, #21 on IMDb's too 250, the palme d'or in Cannes. I think it's more than just a participation trophy.
shareand it had the highest metacritic rating of any film released in 2019.
it's not like academy voters decided to pat him on the head and be nice to him.
a lot of people really dig this movie.

rotten tomatoes isn't credible alot those of those critics are pompous like Ego from Ratatouille and deserve to be fired
shareAs damosuzuki said, it also had the highest Metacritic out of any film last year. Now couple that with the Cannes win and Oscar win, it's more than a participation trophy.
shareand it also has the highest user rating of any film on letterboxd. higher than the godfathers, higher than a brighter summer day, higher than all of them.

if joogl83 doesn't like the film, that's a-ok. he's entitled to his preferences.
but claiming this isn't a valid win is a pretty dumb thing to do.
I'm not one of those people who shout "racism" about everything, but this seems like he doesn't like it because of an Asian cast. It's probably the most acclaimed film of the year, but to call it a participation trophy is akin to saying it got it for being "woke".
shareHate to agree with you but that was my first instinct also. They gave it to bong to show Hollywood's love of diversity and not bong's achievement. Maybe its my over exposure to Trump trolls on this website, especially in the Politics board that's behind my bias. I'm nothing but happy for bong and South Korea in general. I didn't like Guillermo del torro winning for fish man soft porn movie but I love GDT so I was happy to see him enter the club.
shareI mean, the original commenter isn't even giving any valid reasons why it's a participation trophy. They probably hate it because it's an Asian cast.
shareDONT BE BITTER...
shareROFL well he literally did, so...
