Midnight in Paris is incredible. One of my favorites.

Moneyball is one that we watch whenever we come across it. Near-perfect entertainment.

Tree of Life is easily one of the best movies this century and I'm not even a Malick fan. His later movies look like 2 1/2 hour perfume commercials but Tree of Life is special

Probably one of the last real years for Movies as we knew them for 50 years

4 nominees are really good
2 are really bad
3 are forgettable
That feels like a normal pull of Oscar best picture nominees.
I think the year before is heavier on forgettable, with only 2 films that reach "really good". Though I know many are probably higher on some of those films than I am, like Black Swan, 127 Hours, and Toy Story 3.
2011 had Tinker Tailor, MI Ghost Protocol, Rango, Goon, The Lost Planet, Margaret, attack the Block, Jiro Dreams of Sushi, Haywire, Shame, and others people have already mentioned. Even if the BP noms aren't the best, the year had plenty of greatness on offer.

Tinker Tailor was really fricking good but I’m a sucker for Le Carre and Oldman.

And speaking of The Artist, talk about another boring film that was campaigned to hell and gone by Harvey Weinstein to Academy voters.
Wasn't the whole pitch that year was Hollywood didn't make any good movies, so go with a foreign film? I think everyone agreed that year sucked.

The Artist wasn't a foreign film. It was directed by a Frenchman as well as starred an actor from France and an actress from Argentina, but it was an international cast which included the likes of John Goodman, Malcolm McDowell, James Cromwell, and Penelope Ann Miller. It's also set in Hollywood at the end of the Silent Era of film.

I liked Hugo and Moneyball was fine, but nothing was really Best Picture quality that year. We Need to Talk About Kevin was probably the best movie in 2011 and it didn't even get a nomination in a lineup of garbage.
2012-13 wasn't much better though. They saved everything for 2014 apparently

people just get a boner for Terrence Malick for some reason. Most of his movies lack any kind of coherent story or plot and feature images of nature punctuated by mindless narration.
Malick has always been one of, if not the best visual filmmakers ever. Badlands has an actual narrative. Days of Heaven does, too, although not as good as Badlands.
After that, he became almost purely self-indulgent.
Tree of Lifeay actually be his best visual film, and it was shot by maybe the best pure photographer of film the last 30 yrs, but that movie is a mess.
The late Christopher Plummer said it best:

Its a French film

The Artist is a 2011 French comedy drama film in the style of a black-and-white silent film or part-talkie. It was written and directed by Michel Hazanavicius, produced by Thomas Langmann and stars Jean Dujardin and Bérénice Bejo.
