Chicago
Won several Oscars including Best Picture, did it not? I watched it last evening and I'm not sure I agree with Oscar.
The movie can be summed up in two scenes:
1. The Only innocent murderess' hanging
2. The Final song & dance number where the songstresses / murderesses both have guns.
No need to have the other hour and 30 minutes of film. So then why would such a long (and pointlessly so) movie have won so many Oscars? Perhaps it was the characters, some very memorable characters, static but memorable. Or perhaps it was the effects of the numerous dance scenes. Very memorable scenes, with catchy tunes and sexy players.
But maybe it is as I suspect. The Oscars are selected by random number generation by a computer nerd in Fresno. Conspiracy? You Bet!
