David O. Russell's direction lately has been too much by the number and linear.
Jennifer Lawrence is wasted in this film.
The dialogue (albeit most of it was improvised by the actors and actresses without a script) was awful.
This is what the Academy is picking nowadays for Best Picture?
Inside Llewyn Davis is another much better film than any of this year's Best Picture nominations and yet the Academy totally passed it by.
I think the Academy succumbed once again to Political Correctness and Special Interest.
They picked a movie for Best Picture because they didn't want to offend the Gay and Lesbian community and they picked another movie for Best Picture because they didn't want to be accused of Racial Discrimination.
Then they picked Gravity for Best Picture because it was commercially popular.
