Just watched American Hustle

I don't think I'm actively trying to see all of the last year's Best Picture Nominees, but I've seen quite a few now.  Mainly, I'm wondering what's wrong with movies that have a beginning, a middle, and an end in that order, because all the ones I've seen so far haven't.  I mean, sometimes non-linear story telling is cool, but it gets old when everyone is doing it.
