Query: Oscar Winner? How?

Maybe its me, but i settled down to watch this with a lass 12 years my senior, hoping to be entertained and captured by this film, which many have raved about. Instead, frankly, i was bored senseless.Nothing at all grabbed my interest. I neither empathised nor sympathised with the characters, and the only thing that kept me to the end of the film is that i'd made a big deal of it myself to my companion, based on the media coverage and reviews.The story can be covered with a hugely brief synopsis. Two people, of different age-groups and sexes, in Tokyo although not really wanting to be there, are drawn to each other via the hotels bar, and become friends, both feeling gladness at the others uncomfortableness in this culture so different to what they are used to.And thats about it really. "Dull" doesnt seem to be a strong enough word, but perhaps i over anticipated due to the hype, so i am restraining myself from using the word "drivel" instead.
