The difference is what's the same

I had a series of conversation on the Oscars and Lupita and if she deserved to win, why she won, the difference between her and the other nominees in her category.   Which led to the mention of the Wolf of Wall Street, and I commented, that yes, I thought it was a good movie.     Buddies:   Whaaaaaaaaat?   You enjoyed that rubbish?
