Oscars

What is that one thing common in most of the Oscar nominated movies?
They are slow, well, mostly. In that way, they are a good imitation of life.
Isn't life mostly slow? Like a Test cricket match. Nothing much happens.
It takes a movie like The Dark Knight to strike that right balance between
push button entertainment and meaningfulness. And though, these
Oscar nominated movies come across as boring when you watch them,
they seem to have a lasting impression on memory as compared to the
pop corn flicks. May be due to their slowness or may be due to
the quality of their content.
