Argo, the last winner was a thriller made for the masses .
Not Oscar bait at all.
I don't know though why it is that way sometimes. I don't understand why is there such a big disconnect between what "the masses" likes and critics and the Academy. I like most of the movies the Academy picks, and I usually think they are the best of the mainstream movies. Nothing really good "The Attack", "Poetry", "A Separation" or "Amoure" or any of those films but at least the best from the Oscar pool. How do they select that? And what do you mean like "the masses"? Have you noticed as well that people tend to prefer I guess "less-heavy" or more campy, predictable Hollywood-ish type films with familiar faces?
