Quentin Tarantino wasn’t part of the best ten list last year because he was part of the hectic production of ‘Django Unchained’. He has already posted his top ten films of 2013 on his site.
It should be noted that an Oscar-winner automatically is an Academy member. His taste shouldn’t be understood as a replication of the Academy. From Tarantino’s list, movies like ‘Before Midnight’, ‘Blue Jasmine’ and ‘Gravity’ are slowly gaining traction with the Oscar voters.
Richard Linklater’s “Before Midnight” is one of the popular favorites to win the Oscars. Tarantino’s list is as follows:
1. Afternoon Delight (Jill Soloway)
2. Before Midnight (Richard Linklater)
3. Blue Jasmine (Woody Allen)
4. The Conjuring (James Wan)
5. Drinking Buddies (Joe Swanberg)
6. Frances Ha (Noah Baumbach)
7. Gravity (Alfonso Cuarón)
8. Kick Ass 2 (Jeff Wadlow)
9. The Lone Ranger (Gore Verbinski)
10. This Is The End (Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg)
