I had no idea Birdman won best pic. I enjoyed it as a weird little comedy. Words can’t express how much I hated The Shape of Water; it cemented my opinion that GDT is the worst critically lauded director working today. Although it did open my eyes to the idea that apparently a lot of women secretly want to shag a fish-man.

Ditto. Of the eight films I've seen in this poll, this is the only one I outright hated.

I suspect the big attraction for women was that he was mute.

I'm surprised at the numbers for NCfOM and Departed.

I think a few people admitted to having had misread the poll as best, not worst
at least I hope so

In my movie theater career career NCfOM generated some of the funniest audience feedback from dumb people going to see it just bc it won best picture, including my favorite (mightve told this story before): the lady who walked up to the counter afterwards and goes “So I don’t get it... it was all just a DREAM?”

xp yes, and although I forget the differences, it is definitely better

..and apparently 20 minutes longer

The Blu-Ray of The Counselor comes with both cuts and yes, Scott's version is better than the version I saw in a theater. (It's a good movie; I like it. You have to meet it where it is, though - it concedes nothing, in any cut.)
