Was "The Artist" (2011) really Oscar worthy for Best Picture and Best Director?
Other nominees for Best Picture: The Descendants, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, The Help, Hugo, Midnight in Paris, Moneyball, The Tree of Life, War Horse
Best Director: The Descendants, Hugo, Midnight in Paris, The Tree of Life
"The Artist" seems like a gimmick to me, shot in B/W, silent film with title cards, and the story is touching with a happy ending, very much like the silent films from that era, it's very cleverly done but really there isn't much going on in the movie itself, it's just a good entertainment.
