Quick Summary: "The Artist" is about the emergence of a new era in the Motion Picture arena where silent movies are gradually diminishing and transcending into vocalised outputs. Starring relatively unknown talents in the form of Jean duJardin and Bernice Bejo, the film clearly had other ingredients favourable to it's eventual success. Case and point, we have a film icon who simply doesn't fit the new picture (excuse the pun). We have a love interest who is about to take the world of vocalised cinema by storm. And if Schindler's list is anything to go by.... it'http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifs in black and white! Sounds like a B&W version of Anchorman... on steroids!
So, why is this a farce? Well for starters, this movie snuck in under the radar (I think even Mr Ebert will agree to that). Secondly, the black and white was a great touch but if there is one thing that has stood out in recent Oscar Winners is that Modern Day Dramas sell; case and point, Kathryn Bigelow's "The Hurt Locker". Lastly, are you telling me that John Goodman is part of an Oscar Winning motion picture??!!!! #NotCool

The Academy Award Winners 2012 - Best Motion Farce
The Academy awards, the world's most reputable and widely broadcasted awards evening has once again proven to be controversial with it's eventual winners.
George Clooney seems to havehttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif taken the mantle from Leo DiCaprio as this years second place, close second (or as Seinfeld's definition of second place as "first loser")in his role as wealthy Land Baron, Matt King in the Descendants. The script of "the Descendants" seems to have the typical ingredients for an Oscar winning recipe. For starters you have Tragedy; where the Mother is injured in a near-fatal boating accident. Secondly, we are left with 2 daughters who are with the lack of an appropriate phrase or quip, mother-less. "Matt King" (George's character)is left in a position atypical of drama of this nature, where he will need to rekindle the somewhat damaged relationships with his two daughters. A few weeks ago, your obese, possibly asexual BFF would have suggested that this not only sounds like a tragic chick flick, but a flick destined for Oscar winning success. Your friend (who if I had to think about it carefully closely resembles the Comic Book Store owner in the Simpson's) was wrong. 2012 saw the best motion picture being awarded to Michel Hazanavicius's, "The Artist".
