Argo was a perfect "good" movie to me, if that makes sense. Nothing spectacular, nothing experimental or particularly exciting, not taking any risks, just a good movie done extremely well. Would much rather have seen Django win.

what's the last timeless classic to win best picture?
American beauty?
maybe gladiator?
No country for old men should have lost to there will be blood.
i guess the departed maybe in 2006 but Scorsese has at least 3 better movies than the departed so I'm not so sure
1994 is the best year of nominees.
how the **** did the godfather part 3 get nominated if everyone hated it? (I didn't hate it. It was just over the top and the kissing cousins stuff was outa left field)

I've lost count of how many times I've watched it. The ending still almost makes me tear up

To be dead honest, my next ramble thought was at least it's not something I'll hate or forget exists in a month like The Artist or King's Speech.
But I think it'll fall in the same class as Slumdog and Hurt Locker.
Hey now,
The Artist had my wife Berenice in it. I will always love it for that.

Nah... No Country for Old Men is one of the best movies of the last twenty years. That is a masterpiece.

The Master was a truly special film. I don't think it was appreciated for the various other themes it penetrated, unfortunately.

You are going to tell me Argo was a better movie than Django? Than Lincoln?
DIDN'T deserve Best Picture.
Not trying to be a Django fanboy, but I'm glad Waltz and Tarantino won. Spielberg coulda-shoulda won Director, but I guess I saw Pi coming.
And Michele Obama really irked me. That was completely unnecessary.

One of the most visceral performances I've ever seen. Really made you feel the role.

I got Melanie Laurent, I don't need her.
Really though, Seth wasn't kidding. It's like The Artist never existed. What happened to everyone?
How is the dog gonna make the most out of it?

What was so good about Django? I saw it twice. I hated it both times. More so the second time.You are going to tell me Argo was a better movie than Django? Than Lincoln?

Django not winning has nothing to do with the quality... but it's too controversial of a pick. A movie with that much violence, that many profanities, and that kind of subject matter won't win.
The Artist pulled a smash and grab. Came in, scooped up a bunch of awards, and dipped back to France.

I was entertained by Django from start to finish. Great humor, classic Tarantino directing and dialogue.
What did you hate about it? I can understand you saying "it isn't as good as everyone is making it to be", but hate? The movie was awesome, much deserving over Argo.
