I have seen hardly any of those films, so I cannot say either way. Not to mention that I have NEVER heard of Silver Linings Playbook, yet the middle aged men of the nominations panel decide to go for it anyway. Meanwhile, Skyfall, which I have heard of, was critically acclaimed and is heralded as a great Bond movie, doesn't even get a best picture nomination. This is despite Skyfall being the 3rd highest grossing film of 2012 and the 13th of all time.

The film awards often don't make much sense to me.
