Another forgettable film wins BP because of the demographically fragmented voting pool and the fact that they have "good art" awards to begin with.
As long as they use the BP and other categories as a marketing tool, things like this will happen every year.
This is nonsensical. Argo won the Golden Globe, PGA, and Critic's Choice awards. It went up against Lincoln which is a film centered on a man who is widely considered the greatest president ever. Politics and such didn't play into the win. Argo was spectacular. The only movie that I thought was in the same ballpark was ZDT, and frankly, that movie dragged a bit. Quit with the hate on Ben Affleck.

It's Shakespeare in Love at best, a sick joke about the effect of pop media on average opinion at worst. Either way, forgettable.

We might disagree on some things, but well said.
