By contrast, we're watching helplessly as the studios perpetrate one of the weakest crops of year-end Oscar bait in nearly a decade — one auteurist triumph (Hugo), two shrug-worthy mediocrities (The Artist and The Descendants) and a bunch of movies based on 'beloved properties,' so focus-grouped that we're all tired of them before they even open. Who cares?" —Michael Sicinski, Cinema Scope/Nashville Scene
