Margin call is more realistic on details on how the interaction between the different characters take place.
In boardroom scene you see how Peter (junior level) looks towards Jared for guidance before giving Tuld the bad news. Tuld then reassures Peter to give him the news.
The movie also depicts how the higher up the chain one is, the less they actually look at the document Peter produces.
When Tuld asks Jared on what to do about it, Jared is smart enough to know to Tuld is asking a question for which he already have an answer for so he let's Tuld talk on what to do next before opening his mouth.
Maybe I need to re-watch The Big Short, but I know I saw it and barely remember it. For my $, Margin Call is hands down the better film.

Your comments are like Peele's character from the awkward friend sketch. [youtu.be]
Here's a small lesson about the Oscars: Studios run marketing campaigns on the Academy members to influence votes [nordicnews.net] which makes nomination subjective. Don't base your opinions on what makes a better movie by nominations or awards from people you don't know and might not even agree with.
Frankly, I liked both Margin Call and The Big Short. The Big Short is something I can easily see being played at a high school history or finance class to get students interested and keep their attention. There's enough comedy mixed in with the drama and educational tidbits that makes the movie enjoyable for all ages excepting the stripper parts. Margin Call is much more niche in the audience. There's not a lot of action, no romance, no comedy. The drama is very corporate but for people interested in the entire situation, it's very exciting. It's not even about the technical details since the movie glosses over them for the most part but rather the interaction between the actors that make the movie for me.
"Oh my God we have to tell someone"
"Hey higher up person, look at the NUMBERS"
"OH MY GOD we have to tell someone"
And so on for like 4 levels of hierarchy
Very vague about what they saw, even with the high level explanation to Irons, it came across to me as a dream like retelling of something that happened. You don't know what's going on, it's hard to understand, but it's from lack of detail not realism.
And since I couldn't understand the details, but the characters do, or pretend to, they all came off as unbearably smug. Wasn't the movie for me.

Smug. Damn right they're smug. It's Wall Street. Smug. That's right, as described in that movie, those at the top (like cohen) are killers. They're not personally attractive people. They don't play nice amongst each other. It's not marvel, it's Wall Street.
We may not know the true transcript of discussions that morning, but Tuld knows, if they brought the board in at 5 am for an emergency meeting, it's been vetted.
