Care to elaborate? I am more confused by this reply than the idea that you have a gripe that Michael Hazavanicus is a fan of Billy Wilder..
"The Artist" is not an "art film" by any stretch of the imagination.
All this whining about "those Hollywood Elitists gave it to a pretentious art film to show us common Joes where to get off" makes me laugh to the point of hysteria. There was, in fact, a pretentious art film on the nominee list -- Tree of Life, one of the most pretentious, overwrought pictures I've ever seen -- and it got shut out...
It proves a point that good movies, with good acting and good writing will sell tickets.
Hadley! Great photo, I love that dog. And I absolutely enjoyed Dujardin's acceptance speech. "I love your country!" That was wonderful. I was jumping up and down in my command center at work last night on a night shift....

After reading too many 'netizen' reviews this morning, it became clear to me that the people who wrote them either loved "The Artist" or really disliked it. Few seemed to be neutral on the subject.

I just read this Blog regarding the clothes in the Artist.

I think they might be confusing the term "art film" with a film being creative/ a work of art. Primarily because so few movies are works of art anymore.
