History of Violence: big deal?

Granted, it was a GOOD movie, but I didn't feel that it was a GREAT one. I did, however, appreciate how Kronenberg used violence in a way that the viewer was able to connect with. In saying that, I mean that (as mentioned in some of his commentary) the viewer finds himself/herself condoning, even hoping for, certain acts of violence that they would otherwise find horrible.
Like I said, good, but... am I missing something? Why was/is this up for so many awards?
Cheers,
Chris
