Karena selera orang, apalagi teman-teman gue, biasanya sangat subjektif mengenai film yang bagus, maka gue lebih sering mengandalkan daftar pemenang Oscar untuk berburu film daripada mendengarkan saran dari temen-temen gue. Walaupun film-film pemenang Oscar bukanlah “film untuk semua”, atau dalam arti kata bukanlah film komersial, gue tetap mengakui bahwa film-film pemenang (atau bahkan hanya sekadar nominasi) Oscar itu memang memiliki kualitas yang bagus. Entah itu karena jalan ceritanya yang kompleks, akting yang baik, atau sinematografi yang memuaskan. Dan walaupun hampir semua film-film favorit gue tidak masuk Oscar, toh gue tetap banyak menemukan film-film bagus (seperti Pan’s Labirynth, Up in the air, The Hurt Locker, District 9, The Blind Side) berkat bantuan Oscar setiap tahunnya. Nah, beberapa minggu yang lalu, daftar pemenang Oscar untuk tahun 2011 telah diumumkan, buat yang lagi bingung nyari film bagus dan berisi, daftar-daftar ini wajib dicoba.
