The Best Picture Winner the Year You Were Born
Summary
With the Oscars just around the corner, everyone is abuzz about what will be named this past seasons best picture. In stark contrast to last years diversity problem (#OscarsSoWhite), the 2017 list of nominees has three stellar contenders dominated by black casts, including "Hidden Figures," "Moonlight" and "Fences." In addition to identifying the best picture winner each year, PrettyFamous also included each movies Smart Rating -- a score out of 100 that takes into account a movies IMDb rating, Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer and Audience Scores, Gracenote rating, Metacritic Metascore and the inflation-adjusted U.S. box office gross. Maybe youre a pre-teen born in 2006, where "Crashs" exploration of racism won the top honor two years before Obama was elected president. Whoever you are, these movies can serve as a barometer of what was happening in our culture in your birth year.
