Because every Academy Award winning movie should have high 90s ratings? There are 24 categories. Just because a movie won an award for best visuals or best costume design doesn't mean that it's a good movie.

Also there's a difference between movie reviews and game reviews on Metacritic. An 80 movie doesn't have the same value as an 80 game. It's worth quite a bit more.

According to Metacritic, almost all 2016 Best Picture nominations are in the low 80s (http://www.metacritic.com/feature/2016-oscar-nominations-88th-academy-awards), which is pretty odd.

I understand that a 80 for a movie and for a game on Meta are different. However, I don't think they should be. For games, we would say that a low 80s for an Uncharted/Halo/Gears would be disapointing. For a film, a low 80s can even run for best picture. It's quite a gap.

That is just how much better games are than movies.
