Amen. But of course a lot of the problem with that is that movies today (and for some time) just aren't of the same caliber in prestige. I don't really know the reason for that, but I can speculate. I don't know if filmmakers today just don't have the talent that many ones obviously exhibited in the past. Or if filmmakers and studios are just content in churning out shit (pardon my French) because they know that audiences don't care, and will gladly fork out money at theaters to watch it anyway (I don't. I just watch or re-watch older superior fare). It surprises me that there is such a seeming lack of talent among filmmakers, or lack of passion to do great filmmaking... or lack of whatever. Even at this moment, I'm hard-pressed to name filmmakers whom I personally believe are talented, passionate film directors. Names like David Lynch, Mike Leigh, and David Cronenberg are a few to come to mind. But, of course, these guys aren't young, and have been making movies for decades. I can't think of any new or younger talent that impresses me. (Actually, I can think of at least one. I think Alfonso Cuaron (Gravity, Roma) is a gifted filmmaker.)

Although Nicolson won the Oscar, Brad Douriff as Billy was excellent. Each and every one of the actors made this film brilliant.

No. Barry Lyndon is one of my alltime favourite movies, but at the time it wasn't publicly appreciated, as with all Stanley Kubrick movies, it was before its time and audiences didn't know what to think of it. Hence why there is no applause. My preveous comment was very vague and I was commenting on the audience of the time, not the motion picture. In fact, apart from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, I think it's the best nomination on there. 1974 was a great year for movies though, and the remainding nominations are particually good as well.
