Saving Private Ryan (better known to some of you as Cashing in on WWII), Catch Me If You Can, and Minority Report, I thought, were very good movies. All made after Jurassic Park. I thought War Horse was great too.

LOL @ The Artist. This is 2012, not 1912.
They are not mutually exclusive. An artist can revere something and make profit from making a work in its name.
tbh everybody should be happy that a fruity british comedy-drama like Kings Speech or Shakespeare in Love didn't win this year
There are always disgreements with these types of awards because they are based on opinions and not facts. Just because so and so says the director was brilliant or the plot was great etc., doesn't mean I or anyone else will agree with it. The Artist was okay but it didn't move me like "The Help" did. So I would give "The Help" higher votes than someone who was looking at it differently. It isn't always about direction, or lighting, blah, blah, blah that will connect me with a film.
I agree with some of the selection but not others which, IMHO, is probably what the majority of us feel.
I was happy to see the supporting actress go to "The Help". She rocked it out.
Happy for Dujardin
Spielberg is a great B movie director and has made several movies that I like and thoroughly enjoy. Whenever he steps away from light comedy or exploitation/action, however, the result is so overwrought as to be almost unbearable. Either you can make films that impugn racism and preach social conscience, or you can make a series of films with scary brown people and a character like Short Round, but you can't do both and be taken seriously. And Spielberg by far excels at the latter.
That assumes that every movie or work of art that has ever been about or revolved around an historical event has been as manipulative a sentimental tear-jerker as Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close appears to be.
No. I don't think so. But neither do I think either of those films are as great as everyone else seems to. They benefit from temporal distance, though. Much of the "cashing in" quality of EL&IC comes from the fact it was released close to the 10-year anniversary of an event whose impact is still being felt emotionally/economically/militarily and that is still fresh in the minds of its viewing audience.
PROBLÈME, SPEURSTALQUE ?
So? Your point ? Since when does a good movie can't be a black n with silent movie?
Stupido
...wut?
Vous êtes tres stupid.
Since about 1930 or so.
So according to your logic, Chaplin's or Keaton's movies are now rubish right?
my english sucks for sure but your French is... different
Avez-vous un problème? Voulez-vous faire quelque chose?
Snubbed montage:

aucun problème mon ami ! la critique cinématographique est encouragée mais avec des vrais arguments, c'est mieux non?
Oui, c'est vrai. Vous avez besoin de comprendre que tlong n'est pas intelligent. Il est grosse et malodorant.
I was on board until the claim that Harry Potter was snubbed for Best Picture.
Ditto Warrior and Drive. All three had some good performances/visuals/etc., but none of them were worthy of Best Picture.
I like Rango (mostly because the Chinatown references), but no.
