Man I just watched The Blind Side to see what Sandra Bullock got her Oscar for, and I really do get it now. She was amazing in her role, and the whole film was really well directed aswell.

The Hurt Locker was good... but right now, just after seeing it I don't see 5(?) oscars on it at all. I liked it, but Inglorious Basterds, even Up in the air were better movies.

Now downling The Hurt Locker

...
And ofc i am happy that Avatar didnt win that much awards. Avatar is all about speciall effect, we cant even judge how well those actors and actress perform due to their Alien apperance.

As long as Avatar didn't win anything but the stuff for special effects and such, I'm fine with it.

wow, it first struck me that the hurt locker really didn't deserve that oscar. Then I thought, what the fuck competition did it have? A bunch of B+ movies. Then I thought, what are most Oscars' best film awards battles usually between? A bunch of B+ movies. I guess you never really get much good stuff in one year. The Dark Knight completely deserved a nomination last year, I mean wtf the curious case of benjamin button was a dire film, should have taken that place. I agree with No Country for Old Men winning 2007 but only cos all those other films were average as fuck. Tbh I preferred Michael Clayton but at least the film had something.

And then I looked at past winners, and saw that Shakespeare In Love beat Life is Beautiful AND Saving Private Ryan; Forrest Gump beat The Shawshank Redemption AND Pulp Fiction (btw what a fucking year); Annie Hall beat Star Wars; The French Connection beat A Clockwork Orange. The list goes on. The Oscars is not for people who like films seriously to watch, imho.

Then I saw The Good the Bad and The Ugly and Once Upon a Time in the West didn't even get nominations. The former wasn't even recognised for its Soundtrack. It's tragic. They may get their choices right for best actors and actresses, but imo the Oscars are 'right' (even though it is ofc subjective) about 10% of the time about best picture.

Maybe it had some affects on the "first woman to win an Oscar for directing" thing?

You left out Citizen Kane losing to some movie whose name I can't even remember.
