    I think it's because they were artsy films for the genre they were in. In any case it was a long time ago and i doubt that they would win one today. I really don't go by critics rating systems anyway. One time i was looking at a ratings scale that gave scarface a measly 2 1/2 stars out of a possible 4. That movie is a classic imo. They said It was only slightly above average!?! I promptly threw it away and decided to make up my own mind from then on. They obviously gave it that low score because of the violoence in the film.
