These were crappy movies, based on your opinion. I like almost half of the movies you just mentioned.

Now as far as oscars go, well they are chosen by people in the industry. You are right though, they are not indicative of a good movie. There is even some campaigning involved. Crash was heavily promoted for oscar consideration, and it won.
