ARGO WON BUT IT IS NOT THE BEST PICTURE OF 2012

I think "Argo" was a very good film however it was not the  "BEST PICTURE"  of the year. It won the Academy Award  because lets face it Hollywood loves to kiss their own ass.

My problem with "Argo" is the ending (Spoiler alert).  They beefed up the ending so  much.  it becomes a "Hollywood Ending" that rings  false. Now the ending instead of being tense and suspenseful it almost  becomes comical.

Ben Afleck has proven to be a good director.  His acting has improved as well however in."Armageddon"  he was too too pretty to be an oil rigger and to unconvincing  in the overrated "Shakespeare in Love" and was way  beyond terrible n "Forces of Nature" "Gili" & "Pearl Harbor"


My vote for Best Picture of the year is "Zero Dark Thirty".  A film that stuck to the facts and dares the audience to  draw your its  own conclusion.
