A movie isn't good just because the viewer wants it to be.

A movie isn't bad just because the viewer wants it to be, either.
And, just for the record, I'm not arguing that
B&tB should've got the "Best Picture," because it shouldn't have. I'm simply saying that it's not nearly as horrible as many of these posts make it out to be. It's still ten times what we're left with today (
Happily N'ever After and such).

Beauty and the Beast 10 times better? And you arrived at this conclusion because you think it's better than "these posts" make it out to be?
I agree animated entertainment today is mostly garbage. But I think it's films like Beauty and the Beast that are largely responsible for that. Only the negative aspects of Disney's huge box office successes have been replicated for family films today.

I'm going for "Maybe" because as much as I absolutely
love "Beauty and the Beast" (and as much as I feel awful about not even bothering to get the Special Edition DVD back in 2002...
), I've never seen "The Silence of the Lambs" before so I can't make my own opinion about the latter movie, let alone deciding if B&TB should've won the award instead or not.
