I agree. For me Best Film award is literally "what was the best film last year" and I would define that as what film moved you the most or wowed you the most. It doesn't have to be a special effects or action romp like The Avengers, which film had the best story and affected you emotionally? For me it was Dunkirk and Blade Runner and I think either of those two should have got Best Picture.
In order for a film to reach such a high standard it would have to fulfil other requirements to make it so good so you would expect it to excel in other areas depending on the genre such as effects/music/cinematography/soundetc. I would gladly have seen either of those films sweep up those categories because they cumulatively contributed to make an excellent movie. I was ecstatic when Blade Runner got cinematography because it is such a beautiful and perfect scifi film.
