Grave syntactical flaw in the first sentence! FAIL!
The phrase "one of the only films to ever receive the big five Oscars" is awkward and logically imprecise.
"One of the only" is a problematic construction because "only" already implies exclusivity. Grammatically, it creates a clash: "one of" suggests membership in a larger set, while "only" suggests a set of one.
A clearer phrasing would be "one of the few films to ever receive…" or simply "among the rare films to receive…."
Is this what we have come to expect from The Guardian?!

Wbere have you been? 30 years ago this would have been a valid criticism of the Guardian. Today, the fact that all of the words in the opening sentence are spelled correctly and there is verb tense agreement is a thumbs up for the ‘Grauniad’.
