True but still, with reviews like this from the top critics she was robbed!

You may have heard lots of things about this film, but the most important thing to know is that "Blue Is the Warmest Color" is a masterpiece, the first of 2013, and the most emotionally moving film to come along in years.
Though Seydoux, a major star in France, gets top billing, it's Exarchopoulos, previously unknown, who is the movie's focus. In close-up, we see an actress whose thoughts and moods are always shifting and revealing themselves, who is interesting in every frame. When the character is a teenager, Exarchopoulos thinks teenage thoughts. When the character grows into her mid-20s, Exarchopoulos (18 at the time of filming) evokes the aura and sensibility of a responsible adult woman. Without doubt, this is Western cinema's most mature and assured performance by a teenage actress since Sandrine Bonnaire's award-winning work in "A Nos Amours" and "Vagabond" 30 years ago.
Hours, even days later, moviegoers may find themselves thinking of Adèle and wondering how she’s doing — only then realizing how completely this fictional but very real creation has winnowed her way into their hearts and minds. That’s great acting. It’s great art. And that’s why “Blue Is the Warmest Color” is a great movie.
Mannequin is the only usable song on KT Quang her debut. What made her disavow live instrumentation or even the presence of a simple guitar on Teenage Dream? I'd hate to think it was because she has no credibility and just wanted to appeal to pop radio. Then Prism is a whole other issue. What made her think anyone wanted to hear her do something other than a cute "I like this when I'm drunk" bop? Being brought up with problematic ideals really did a number on her.
