Why do Twitter's trending topics always read like they're written by AI?

Jared Leto may have been nominated for Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture, but his attire during the virtual Golden Globes continues to be a talking point with viewers

Also, who gives a shit about the Golden Globes, unless Ricky Gervais is there, insulting everyone right to their face?

I watched the first 20 or so minutes bc I like to be lectured by celebrities bc they are smarter than me. I liked the virtue signaling by Tina and Poehler over black representation on the voting committee. They mentioned it more than once. That was as close to lecturing as they got, so it was super boring. Then i watched 2 categories and both winners were Black, obviously.
But the reason for this post is bc I changed Howard this morning bc his show sucks and i scrolled up 3 presets to i forget, but a show called Jim and Sam was on. I think its Jim Norton and Sam something. They were chatting about the golden globes controversy and then making fun of Mark Ruffalo for being fake virtuous for like 10 minutes. I swear to god I didnt know radio shows were allowed to have opinions on things or speak about current events and topics anymore. Refreshing.
Simmons had Fennessey on his podcast this week talking about the Oscars (of course) and it got me thinking that it feels like I haven't seen the Best Picture Winner for years. So I looked up how long it has been and it's been since 2015 (Spotlight). In fact since 2010, I've only seen 3 Best Picture Winners (Spotlight, Argo, The King's Speech). That didn't seem like a lot, so I went back further: I have seen every single Best Picture Winner between 1989 and 2010. Now granted, that's about the time I started having kids but that's a crazy difference in number of movies (100% of 20 years, 25% the next 12). So, have they just been picking more obscure movies as Best Picture winner or what?
Food for thought. [/31] [/Also a trade Kite has tried to make before]

I am pretty similar, although I saw Green Book in 2018. I actually can't believe that won Best Picture. White savior complex hard in that movie.
On the Rewatchables when they talk about a Best Picture category for the year of the film for the episode, and it is in the late 1980s to early 2000s I am amazed at how many of the movies that I have seen and how good they were.

I think you're on to something. I'm basically the same. The only 2 I've seen between 2010 and 2022 are Argo and Parasite. And I've seen all but 3 (Schindler's List, The English Patient, Shakespeare in Love) between 1989 and 2009.
