As for the awards, I for one am glad the committee didn't take the high brow approach this thread has taken so far () and honoured the film event of the year with the two most prestigious prizes

you've just pointed out the flaw yourself - it's an event, not a film. Everyone's going for this new take on cinema, for the 3D experience, because everybody's talking about it. The fact of the matter is, as a film, it's good. Not great. It's got no real depth to it, not emotionally, socially or politically anyway.
