Graeme Robertson with four great war films (that aren’t Saving Private Ryan)… I recently wrote a piece arguing that Steven Spielberg’s visceral war epic Saving Private Ryan should have won have been named Best Picture of 1998 by the Academy Awards, and I concluded in that feature that I thought Saving Private Ryan was one […]
Oscars: What Should Have Won – There Will Be Blood for Best Picture over No Country for Old Men
Graeme Robertson on why There Will Be Blood should have won Best Picture at the 80th Academy Awards… The Oscars celebrating the best that 2007 had to offer were something of an oddity, in that nearly every film nominated in the main categories dealt with rather dark and complex themes, with the only light in this […]

Graeme Robertson on why Good Night, and Good Luck. should have won Best Picture at the 78th Academy Awards… The Oscars celebrating the best of 2005 are probably among the most controversial and divisive on record.

Oscars: What Should Have Won – Saving Private Ryan for Best Picture over Shakespeare in Love
Graeme Robertson on why Saving Private Ryan should have won Best Picture at the 71st Academy Awards… The Oscar ceremony celebrating the best that 1998 had to offer is something an embarrassment looking back.

Oscars: What Should Have Won – Network over Rocky for Best Picture
Graeme Robertson on why Network should have won Best Picture at the 49th Academy Awards… The Oscars celebrating the best of 1976 were a rarity, in that, almost all of the nominees for Best Picture are truly excellent and have gone on to become celebrated classics. While Sylvester Stallone’s Rocky ultimately triumphed against its formidable […]
Film Quality IS Subjective: A Film Is Good Because We Say It Is
Graeme Robertson on why film quality is subjective… It’s a wonderful job being a film critic.
