My ranking:
1. Her (I adore this win! An original, funny and fantastic script.)
2. Parasite (A riveting mix of comedy and thriller with unpredictability.)
3. Get Out (A clever and intense script and awesome win for horror.)
4. Birdman (A fantastic script that’s unique and ambitious.)
5. Django Unchained (My 2nd favorite Tarantino film, well deserved!)
6. Manchester by the Sea (Really good film but my pick here was either La La Land or Hell or High Water.)
7. Spotlight (Good film but my pick was either Ex Machina or Inside Out.)
8. Midnight In Paris (Good film but my pick was 50/50 which should’ve been both nominated and won, a great mix of comedy and drama.)
9. The King’s Speech (Good film but Inception should’ve won.)
10. Green Book (Not a bad film but my pick was Eighth Grade, which should’ve been nominated and won.)
50/50 wasn't nominated at the Oscars.
EIGHT GRADE SHOULD’VE BEEN NOMINATED FOR SCREENPLAY 😭
Parasite winning screenplay was such an incredible moment. Huge surprise but still completely earned. One of the most fun wins to watch in real time at the ceremony
We need to stop equating "original screenplay" to the screenplay being original. It just means it's not adapted from anything.
01. Her
02. Parasite
03. Get Out
04. Birdman
05. Django Unchained
06. Manchester by the Sea
07. Spotlight
08. Midnight in Paris
09. The King's Speech
10. Green Book
I think you might wanna reconsider giving Spotlight another chance, as it’s definitely above those titles you compared it to. As it’s one of the most deserving Best Picture winners not just of the 2010’s, but so far of the 21st century. There’s a lot more importance and relevance to a film like Spotlight today. As the film is a lot better than one of those films we see in the Oscar race that was only good for its time. Spotlight is a great film.
Also, other than Get Out winning Best Original Screenplay in 2017, I think second place would’ve actually gone to Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri over Lady Bird. As Three Billboards was more of a stronger player throughout that award season even coming close to winning Best Picture that year, but also collecting a good number of screenplay awards at the Golden Globes and BAFTA.
Agreed. Watched it again this year (after only liking it ok when it came out) and I was blown away, its fantastic.
I personally love Midnight in Paris. The whole idea that past eras had it better and being able to test that is insightful.
I've read all of these screenplays, half of them within the past year, and something that really stood out about both The King's Speech and Midnight in Paris was their lack of fat. They both had an extreme laser-like focus on the main story idea. (I believe Parasite's script was like this, too, but I read it 4 years ago, so it's not as fresh in my mind.) I was also surprised at how much I hated all of the characters in the script for Birdman, and I don't remember hating them so much in the movie. My personal favorite of the bunch is Get Out. Great script, great movie. It's the only movie in the group that I own on physical media and feel like rewatching every couple of years.
A Separation should have won over Midnight in Paris.

2. Her
3. Parasite
4. Get Out
5. Amour

8. Manchester by the Sea

2010 - my choice Inception over The King’s Speech
2011 - Bridesmaids over Midnight in Paris

2015 - Spotlight. One of my favorites

2017 - Get Out
2018 - Roma over Green Book
2019 - Parasite
Oh! Thanx for making this video! Haven't watched it yet but the thumbnail is enough for me to see what its all about. Will let you know what I think about it once I've completed watching it.🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
About Tarantino, when you were mentioning snubs and I instantly go to 'Jackie Brown' (my favorite of his...) and I'm so glad you felt the same. I mean that screenplay was perfection, and no acting noms for the brilliant Pam Grier and Samuel L Jackson still boils my piss to this day. Criminal.
My Ranking:
#10 Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) - My Pick: The Grand Budapest Hotel
#9 Spotlight - My Pick: Straight Outta Compton
#8 Parasite - My Pick: Marriage Story (Although I would Change all the Nominees)
#7 Get Out - My Pick: The Big Sick
#6 Her - My Pick: Dallas Buyers Club
#5 The King’s Speech - My Pick: Inception
#4 Manchester By the Sea - My Pick: 20th Century Woman
#3 Midnight in Paris - Deserved
#2 Green Book - Deserved Sorry
#1 Django Unchained - Deserved
Fun fact: I did a podcast episode on Margin Call with the unit production manager, Stacie Jones Gentzler. It was surprisingly fun to record.
Green Book is a classic example of a movie that appeals to the Academy not movie goers in general. A surface level observation on race that’s basically a reverse of Driving Miss Daisy? They eat that stuff up
As someone who watched it for the first time 2 weeks ago I enjoyed it a lot. I thought it was very funny and that the performances from Mortensen and Ali were great. But I do agree that is shouldn't have won Best Screenplay
Green Book made over 300 million worldwide though. It is (along with Bohemian Rhapsody) one of the most unpopular among online film fans, however.
I don’t think you know older people in general 😂. My grandparents really liked it. It was a light funny movie. There’s a reason it made over $80 mil.
@@amymormino3029 well I guess I should have phrased it as movie buffs not average movie goers lol
@@bradysmith4405 well tbf the academy is mostly older people also lol

7. Birdman

My sister is a speech language pathologist and she LOVES The King's Speech. I gave her my DVD copy a few years ago. It's a great film to recommend to people going through therapy for a stutter, and there's a PG-13 cut too for the younger ones.
Midnight in Paris and Her are some of my favorite films ever, top ten. I love the kind of magic these movies have, making me feel cozy and full of love. And the way they talk is really interesting for me since English is not my first language and honestly I learned English while watching these films. Also Boyhood, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Manchester by the Sea, Lady Bird, Roma are some of my favorites as well.
Whatever you think of Woody Allen, he has made some fantastic films. Midnight In Paris is one of my favorites . I can separate the artist from the man when it comes to directors. For some reason, it is harder for me to do that with actors ( Mark Walberg, Mel Gibson). A director is an artist on the same level as writers, musicians and other visual artists.
I think Spotlight is a true masterpiece of a film.
I love Spotlight, it is one of my favorite movies
Django unchained is a masterpiece
Mr tarantino deserved noms for kill bill and hateful 8
No one can argue with those top two picks
Perfect choice for #1. I will forever be ecstatic at every single one of Parasite's wins, especially Best Picture and Best Director. Bong Joon Ho is a genius.
I saw Green Book once and that was enough. It’s okay. I watched it while I folded laundry, and it was a good laundry folding movie.

Moonrise Kingdom deserves more recognition. What a sweet film
I remember seeing Samuel L. Jackson’s face when he announced Green Book as the winner. So shocked that Brie Larson had to finish it for him. 😅 Telling.
I know i'm very much in the minority but i've always preferred The Lighthouse's script over Parasite and was so upset it gotta snubbed everywhere but cinematography, that movie is memorized in the back of my mind i've seen it so many times but I do understand Parasite is great and The Lighthouse was never going to have a wide enough appeal
Oh, Brian, I never thought I would disagree with you, but here goes: "Spotlight" was a fabulous film on every count: screenplay, ensemble acting, directing, even the soundtrack. It is my favorite movie of all time, and I have been around almost twice as long as you have. I still respect you enormously, but must disagree this time.
My Top 10 Best Original Screenplay Oscar Wins of the 2010's
1. Parasite
2. Her
3. Manchester By the Sea
4. Spotlight
5. Django Unchained
6. Midnight in Paris
7. Birdman
8. The King's Speech
9. Get Out
10. Green Book
By the way, Almost Famous by Cameron Crowe which was based on his early teenage years working for Rolling Stone and touring with a rock band deservedly won the Oscar in it's year over You Can Count on Me.
django should be higher, but i can't decide what number.
Green Book was a whitelash against Moonlight’s Best Picture win from the year before.
The Kings Speech was a solid screenplay, and it has great scenes between Rush and Firth. But was it better than Inception? Not even close.
Midnight In Paris is a subpar at best Woody Allen screenplay. And I like Woody Allen movies. I’m that guy.
But Margin Call is the better concept and more relevant to me.
Birdman is a fine screenplay, but it’s not about writing. The Grand Budapest Hotel and Nightcrawler are landmark films and screenplays. Either would have been better.
I love Spotlight and would put it higher. Across the board fantastic acting. But Ex Machina is the better screenplay, I admit.
Django isn’t as well-written as some think. It’s bloated and like seemingly every Tarantino film since Kill Bill it drags down the stretch. And face it, this was a make up win for Inglorious Basterds.
Manchester By The Sea is all screenplay. It deserved it. It deserved all of its awards.
Her is a magnificent work that presages our AI revolution. It’s so lovely and heartfelt.
Get Out is a landmark screenplay, even if it does kinda fall apart at the end. Just then. Only part. I love it otherwise.
Parasite will last through time. It’s the rare perfect movie, haters be damned.
10 Spotlight should be in number . Its horrible!!!
9 Green Book
8 The King Speech
7 Get Out
6 Manchester by the Sea
5 birdman
4 Django Unchained
3Midnight in Paris
2 Her
1 Parasite
Midnight in Paris Is a sweet film. It deserved that win.
The bottom was very obvious
Where did the hype for birdman come from? An overrated film
The grand Budapest Hotel should have won best picture. What a cool fun film
I often agree with you, but Inception is hands-down the worst movie I've ever seen in my life. One of only two times where I yelled "BOO!" in the theater when the credits hit (the other, obviously, The Irishman). Not a big fan of The King's Speech, but thank the movie gods Inception didn't win any more than it did.
Inception is hands down the most original screenplay and a top 5 of the 2010s.
Where did the hype for greenbook come from? What a terrible dated film
The favourite should have won best picture
Green book shouldn't have been nominated, it should've been sorry to bother you
My ranking:
10. Green Book (Do I even need to argue about it? The movie is pretty safe and like a boiled chicken with no salt. Roma and The Favourite would have been excellent wins)
9. Birdman (The film is a work of art... But in Screenplay? Not so much. Every other script was a 10/10 that year, while Birdman was an 8. Boyhood should have won)
8. The King's Speech (It is not a perfect movie, but it has a great screenplay. The Fighter or Inception should have won, no doubt or excuses. But I liked the script)
7. Midnight in Paris (This is kinda bias because I dislike this movie with a passion. But I don't think any other movie could have won that year, as sad as it makes me admit it)
6. Her (A Great screenplay, but nothing really special to me. Thought Blue Jasmine was going to win)
5. Spotlight (Even though Ex Machina was the clear winner in our hearts, Spotlight had the best script without a doubt IMO, as safe of a movie as it is)
4. Django Unchained (This is possibly the best screenplay Tarantino ever wrote, Even if Moonrise Kingdom and Amour were some of my favorite movies that year, I am happy this movie won)
3. Get Out (Still shocked it won. I thought that Lady Bird, TBOEM, or The Shape of Water would win. Yet Jordan Peele made some magic, and pulled off this amazing win)
2. Manchester by the Sea (Just reading the script makes me cry, let alone watch it unfold. It is a perfect screenplay, and I am so happy Kenneth Lonergan won the Oscar for it)
1. Parasite (Kinda like Get Out, I'm still shocked it won. I thought Marriage Story or OUATIH was going to win, so I got super stoked when Parasite won)
First Reformed was awfuL - most overrated film of my lifetime.
Possibly unpopular opinion but there are several overrated films here. Pretty much anything in the bottom half is something I would've never nominated.
10. Armando Bo, Alexander Dinelaris Jr., Nicolás Giacobone & Alejandro González Iñárritu (Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance))
9. Brian Currie, Peter Farrelly & Nick Vallelonga (Green Book)
8. Kenneth Lonergan (Manchester By the Sea)
7. Josh Singer & Tom McCarthy (Spotlight)
6. Mark Boal (The Hurt Locker)
5. Woody Allen (Midnight in Paris)
4. Quentin Tarantino (Django Unchained)
3. David Seidler (The King's Speech)
2. Spike Jonze (Her)
1. Jordan Peele (Get Out)
Inception is better than oppenheimer
My ranking is:
1 PARASITE one of the best films indeed. Its funny Parasite won in March and few days after we were in a lockdown because of covid. Haha 😂 it was a swimg as after winning in Cannes, we do not know if the world will embrace this Korean film and not even in English. So winning International, Screenplay , Director and Picture is such a bliss. I do not understand why snob the actors! Like come one, actor, and best supporting actor and actress.., they deserve nominations at least. Oscars sometimes are very racist and they are only considering white actors actually… how many times they nominated undeserving white actors/ actress… haha i can enumerate them all…
2 Get Out, my favorite movie that year and in happy it won. I watched it instantly it blew my mind here in Paris. And i watched it again. I knew it is amazing but i never considered Oscars will appreciate it as normally they appreciate boring films… thank god, they embraced this film. And a well deserving win. I thought his next film “US” should deserve a nomination and win too.
3 Greenbook, yes you like Roma more but many people who watched Roma can’t understand it and would even end watching it after 20 minutes because people were bored. Roma is for the critics and not to the greater audience. I mean Roma was even in Netflix and people would skip it after few minutes. Thats a fact.
While Greenbook, it won the hearts of many including myself. GREENBOOK deserves this win.
4 Django Unchained is my ultimate favorite. Leo and Samuel Jackson were amazing too. Such a beautiful screenplay. That best supporting actor win was deserving too even though he just won a couple years back for inglorious bastards. .
5 Manchester by the sea is my sentimental favorite and i was weeping after watching it. Casey deserves his win. He was sooo amazing alongside Michelle Williams.
6 Midnight in Paris, love it a lot.
7 Her is Impeccable .love love love it… i like how clean and how tastefully it was done by Spike Jones. There is sophistication in his story telling that won me.
8 Spotlight, best ensemble indeed. I love Mad Max Fury Road too but i was rooting for Ex Machina… my god.. so original.
9 Birdman , not a fan of it’s screenplay. Boyhood. Grand Budapest and Nightcrawler should win. I haven’t forgiven Oscar for the injustice they did for Jake and for Renee Russo.
10 King’s Speech , yes I am rooting for Inception too. I mean even from The Prestige, Nolan should have won and nominated
