The Oscars' Best Picture choices often look odd or incorrect in hindsight - so why not wait for the hindsight and then give the award?
Introducing the Moonlight Awards, where we go back through movie history and recognize the best films of each year - now that enough time has passed to know for sure.
We'll honor the best picture of every year from 1930-2009. In this pilot episode, hosts Rachel Schaevitz and Aaron Keck explain their process for choosing which film is the "best" of each year - exploring critics' lists, examining general-audience votes, and surveying a panel of renowned film scholars to identify the movies that are still popular, still appreciated, and still recognized as great.
And at the end, we announce our five best-picture nominees for 1930.
