People were so starved of a good Holly-style Blockbuster that when Inception came around, it made people believe it was really the best film/most intelligent film of recent times.
It's good and if you're willing to produce Blockbusters, it's the go-to movie. Apart from that, there are others movies that puts it to shame.

Disagree it's a masterpiece and it's imo most likely still the best movie of the 2010-now decade.

If we're talking of American movies, Grand Budapest Hotel, Gone Girl, The Master, Shutter Island, Foxcatcher, Whiplash, Gravity, the Conjuring, Black Swan, the Artist, Hugo, Life of Pi are all better.
Just opinions tho.

On Inception, to add, if you look at it closely, it's basically an action movie. It works on a template. Nolan's intelligent filmmaking made it a pioneering Hollywood Blockbuster, yet it's no different to Die Hard.

If there is one thing you can't say about Inception, it's reducing it to one specific genre. Yes it's an action movie, but it's also a heist movie, sci-fi, and there are even surrealistic elements there as well as noir (as in most of Nolan's movies).
Also, simply calling it a good Hollywood blockbuster isn't doing it any justice - or maybe you simply don't like it which is perfectly understandable. I doubt there'll be more than a handful of comparable blockbusters for the rest of the decade. I think the script had more to do with its success than Nolan's "sophisticated" filmmaking and it's probably still is a whole lot smarter than people give it credit for.
Then again, it's my favorite movie of all time so take my word with a grain of salt.

Convinced there is an actual conspiracy against him.
He should've won one hands down for his performance in What's Eating Gilbert Grape? The best performance by a child actor I've ever seen.
Played a child with mental development issues, very difficult role, but he got all the ticks and subtleties spot on.
