A worth Oscar winner?

Rating: 5/10 (26 February 2012)

Well, in all likelihood The Artist is going to win the Best Picture Oscar in a few hours time. Does it deserve to win it?
For anyone that doesn't know The Artist is a silent film that follows the progress of two stars George Valentin and Peppy Miller as talkies are introduced to the movie world. George was a big star of the silent era and Peppy becomes a big star of the new talking pictures. George finds it difficult to make the transition though and his career hits the doldrums.
The film is fairly entertaining, but I must confess to loving dialogue in movies. All of my favourite films contain great dialogue, so I found it a bit frustrating that the film didn't contain any words. It is undoubtedly very well done though. Even though the film wasn't really my cup of tea I must confess that it probably does deserve the Oscar for it's originality and execution.
