I most definetly agree, Ben Affleck´s Argo is incredibly well created in general but it does surprise me that Argo is winning the Best Picture category everywhere, yet he was not even nominated for Best Director at the Oscars.

Well that is indeed true, The Oscars have always been a bit of a question mark as they hand out their awards differently from, lets say, Golden Globes and the BAFTA´s.

Oscars are handed out exactly to films you are talking about, that is also why I feel that Lincoln might just win Best Picture, because it is about Abe himself. Spielberg will get the Oscar for Best Director it seems and Daniel Day Lewis will win Actor In A Leading Role (Which he should win).

Yeah I fully understand... Some good examples of wrong movies winning would be the year when Slumdog Millionare won and The Hurt Locker, both movies which are very mediocre but just really well created.

Slumdog Millionare won because it is the first Bollywood movie to win it, The Oscars always try to have an idea and a reason as to why they choose a certain movie. This time it was just to honor Bollywood... or so it seems to me atleast.

The Hurt Locker was given an award for Best Picture just because of what it was about... and because of the female director, it seems like they wanted to make it memorable just because of that...

I figured it was impossible for anyone to consider it a propaganda piece. The very beginning of the movie explains WHY they were angry with America for harboring such a despicable leader.

I haven't seen Act of Valor but have heard critics say it did/didn't have pro-American propaganda. I really wasn't interested in seeing it anyways.

As for Zero Dark Thirty...yikes it really stacked on a lot of strange coincidences (I think it was a 10/10 docu-drama). The thing about ZDT is that you'll need to look up the pre-production history to see how surreal it is this movie came about.

After The Hurt Locker, rottentomatoes news watched Bigelow's next movie like a hawk. Her team had pre-production rolling about the hunt for Bin Laden, but since he hadn't been killed yet the ending was going to be ominous. Then he gets killed and the ending is changed entirely. As for the timing of release: they DID have this ready for a Oct/Nov release but decided to postpone after the election for reasons you just stated.

Back to Argo: Yes, it did have angry Middle Easterners and depicted hangings. The thing is though....at the very beginning the movie explains that Iran's "zha" (wrong spelling) was evil, and his wife supposedly bathed herself in milk every day, and America harbored him because he was dying.

If the audience got any anti-Middle East vibe from Argo, it would be their fault. The movie provided enough context as to why they were angry at America.
