What is the criteria for writing a "best answer?"
It's subjective, partly because "best" doesn't make sense when unmoored from any context. Often, we can assume that the context is implicit, such as "what is the best hammer?" Presumably, the context is "for hammering nails." Although, on second thought, even that's not so clear. I might think Hammer A is the best because it's the one with the most ergonomic design. I can use it for hours without hurting my hand. But what if it doesn't pound nails into wood quite as well as Hammer B? I might think that's an okay tradeoff, still making Hammer A the "best." You might think it all comes down to hammering nails, so, to you, B is the clear winner. Neither of us is wrong, we are just starting with different values. It gets even tricker as the objects and systems we're analyzing get more complex, as is the case with Hollywood movies. If you take the Academy Award's "best picture" label literally, it's meaningless. Best in what way? Best at entertaining me? Best at entertaining you? Best at enlightening me? Best at enlightening you? Best written? Best directed? Most popular at the box office? Most likely to become a classic? Funniest? Saddest?(It's always funny to me when people use "won an award" in arguments. "You think it's a bad movie? Well, then you're an idiot! It won three Oscars!" Which just means that a particular group of people thought that movie was "the best" for whatever reasons are important to THEM.)The same applies to best answers on Quora. We share no context, so best means whatever it means to individual Quora users: best in terms of prose style? best in terms of accuracy? best in terms of originality? best in terms of helping the original person who asked the question? funniest? Probably, most of us mean "all of the above," but when having to choose between, say, a super-informative answer that's only a little funny and a hilarious answer that's only a little informative, opinions are going to differ.

In the Oscars how are the criteria for Best Picture different from those for Best Director?
The Academy doesn’t tell its voters how to pick a winner. Other than having to be an official member of AMPAS (Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences) and having to pick among pre-selected nominees, there is no specific set of criteria that Academy voters must follow in order to vote for Best Picture. The criteria that each Academy voter uses are going to be different. This idea can be examined by reading about the wins of some films (I’m not going to name names here) that many serious film buffs regard as not nearly as good as the films they were up against in a particular year.The only easily perceivable difference between the criteria for Best Director and Best Picture is in who gets to vote for what. Only Academy film directors can vote for Best Director, but the entire Academy (actors, producers, directors, cinematographers, costume designers, soundmen, other special effects, etc.) can vote for Best Picture. If only directors were allowed to vote for Best Picture you would probably see a lot more congruity between who wins Best Picture and Best Director.
