5. The Artist - Directed by Michel Hazanavicius
Starring: Jean Dujardin, Berneice Bejo, John Goodman, James Cromwell
Nominated for 10 Oscars
Hazanavicius brought two things to movie theaters this year that is in low supply: Ambition and creativity. This black and white, silent film is not only a thoughtful ode to the golden era of silent cinema, but it's a brilliantly conceived and produced silent film comparable to the greatest of all the silent films. The Artist may seem simplistic, but that is far from a hinderance. The lack of complexity is made up for its merits in acting, directing, and heart. It's a sweet movie that will have you smiling from beginning to end. Lead Jean Dujardin says more with his mile long smile than some actors say with an entire script, a breakthrough performance for the splendid French actor. The Artist deserves, of the nominated films, to be awarded Best Picture of 2011 because it is something special. There will probably never be a future film that will be able to copy the magic of The Artist, therefore making it a wonderful cinematic experience.
