What's wrong with Oscar bait?

As someone once said, it's usually better than ticket bait.
When watching films, I don't want to get bored. And I get bored easily when watching Oscar bait movies.
Oscar bait such as...?
Ah, böwakawa! Poussé, poussé...

Period films or films based on true story(Gangs of NY) and films about physically/mentally handicapped (Winter's Bone) mostly but I don't always avoid these kind of films.
Hotel Rwanda, Forrest Gump, All the President's men, Schindler's List, Big Fish are counted as oscar baits but are still my favourite films

ScorNiro films are better than the ScorAprio films. That's probably controversial on NF.

I had another one too, but I've forgotten it.

I'd say that, but perhaps after Wolf, it'll change.

Saying the opposite would be controversial.

Slumdog Millionaire was a horrible movie, quite possibly the worst best picture Oscar winner ever.
