With the exception of Gravity, I would agree.
This movie won BAFTAs for cinematography, music, sound and visual effects.
All well deserved - as the movie was spectacular to the eye.
But IMO, it lacked any real storyline, character, plot, gravitas or meaning.
It was just a nice outing to outer space.
Not IMO, an Oscar candidate - save for the technical categories already acknowledged by BAFTA.

Yes - he deserved Best Supporting Actor as does Sally Hawkins for Supporting Actress Oscar (Cate will rightly win Best Actress).
I was surprised by how many negative comments here for the movie. I thought it was fantastic - as was Gravity, Philomena, Le Weekend, Blue Jasmine and Saving Mr Banks.
Six cracking films I saw week after week - and Captain Phillips was the first of those six.

Barkhad Adbi - winner of a BAFTA, and probably an Oscar.
Only 28 and his first role.

How did Forrest Gump do so well in the cinema ? The only good thing about it was the soundtrack.
