I’ll have to see The Artist, in see if it was better than Hugo, which I thought should have won going in.
I have seen both.
My choice was, hands down, “The Artist”; until I saw “Hugo”.
While “The Artist” was innovative, “Hugo” was a much more elaborate film. Both were excellent, but the edge should have gone to “Hugo”
The Artist was incredible and trust me I did not want to go. After weeks of pleading, I finally broke down and went with my wife. We went yesterday afternoon after mass and I must say I was amazed. I thought why go see a film in black and white with zero sound. It earned the Oscar definitely.
