The Oscars loves to award movies that are about making movies, so Mank will clean up this year.

You lost me when you said There Will Be Blood and No Country For Old Men don't hold up.

They really don't hold up.

Inherent Vice and The Master are PTA best movies, and for the Coen's like anything from the 90's. poo poo I'll even go as far as saying Burn After Reading and A Serious Man are their best 00's output.

You're talking about two(or I guess technically three) of the absolute best American filmmakers we've ever seen. Their entire filmography is a Murderers Row of movie making so naming other great stuff they've done doesn't really make the argument that There Will Be Blood or No Country For Old Men don't hold up.

With Gladiator a big thing to keep in mind is that it was one of the first big epic period piece dramas that extensively used CG in that way. People were used to dinosaurs and various creatures and fantastical things but at the time Gladiator felt like the CG was giving Ridley Scott the ability to create something much more convincing and immersive than we'd ever seen before in that genre. There was a lot of hype around just the colosseum scenes for that reason. So that's a major aspect of it's success that doesn't really translate today if you're sitting down to watch it for the first time.

I didn't think he was that good, Stanfield deserved it more.
