This is almost the definition of dismissive, considering you probably haven't seen most of the films that were nominated, yet proceeded to judge them anyway.

Dismissive-"Feeling or showing that something is unworthy of consideration."

They might not have been your style of movies, but that doesn't make them bad.

you're right - I didn't watch most of the films that were there, so I don't see why I would be interested in watching for them. Note that I said there was one good film and one OK-ish film there (HTTYD and Inception, respectively) - I did not state that any of the others were necessarily particularly bad. I also did see The Social Network, and thought it was average - the point is, I don't massively care for any of the films that were likely to win.
