I think he's ultimately right about No Country for Old Men being the most rewatchable of all the winners since it. Argo is rewatchable but only if you have bad politics and like to eat CIA propaganda as an extracurricular activity.
Rewatchability doesn't make a movie better though, that's the specious claim he slips in. I'm probably not going to rewatch Moonlight ever but that doesn't mean it isn't the best Best Picture win in 15 years. I think Oceans 11 is very rewatchable but that doesn't mean it's a great movie it just means it goes down easy and is enjoyable to watch.
Don't get me wrong I think it's about as well-made a movie of that type as you're going to get, I just wouldn't say that makes it better than movies who succeed in telling more ambitious stories well.

Banger soundtrack though. Respect to David Holmes.
