Films like “The King’s Speech”, “12 Years a Slave”, “Birdman”, and “Green Book” fall into these categories. The unexpected win of a film such as “The Artist” for Best Picture could be easily understood later on: Hollywood often appreciates self-flattery, and a movie that humorously referred to its glamorous silent era past was bound to find favor among Academy voters.
