Really? Because I feel that if Avatar won best picture the Oscars would have been a total joke.

Yeah imagine the highest grossing movie of all time winning best picture, what a joke.

I understand that they want to give awards to great effort and try to overlook box office success but in this case I think they made a mistake.

Avatar was a global success, the hurt locker might make some good socials points and be very meaningful to middle/upper-class Americans but worldwide no-one gives a shit.
Something that has Global appeal vs a "flavour of the month" film. I don't really think it's fair.

What Avatar has done for cinema overall should also be taken into account. A lot of cinemas are really struggling financially, a film like Avatar is fantastic for them.

Having said that they didn't give the first LotR film an Oscar. Since they announced sequels maybe they'll wait and give it one of them instead.

Agreed, in 10 years nobody is going to remember THL but they will remember Avatar.
LOTR 1 won 4 oscars. Not best picture though if that's what you're talking about.

are u guys seriously judging the quality of a film by its commercial success? u guys r just being sarcastic right?

Reading that link brings up very bitter feelings again. I'm still supremely bitter that JULIA roberts won over ELLEN BURSTYN that year. I mean seriously, what the fuck?

I didn't watch it, but I really hope James Horner didn't get the Oscar for the best OST for Avatar. He had 6 months and a budget of 15 millions, and he did that. Really, he doesn't deserve it.

If this were the case, New Moon deserves a Best Picture Oscar more than No Country for Old Men.

I'm sorry to say it but I think its overrated. Didn't really like it at all, came in expecting something completely different, that might be the reason why it didn't impress me. Don't get me wrong, it's not a BAD movie, but nowhere close to six oscars.

THL is good, but it resonates a lot with the political demography of hollywood, is one of the best non major studio but still mainstream movies of recent years, and above all, is very very American. Those I feel like are the primary factors in the film's ridiculous overwhelming critical success. Personally I thought most of the foreign language film nominees are better than THL. I made a blog about THL way back when it first came out

The quality of a movie should also not be judged upon according to a highly political and institutionalized "academy" of arts.

the soundtrack was amazing, he definitely deserved it


it deserved to win best picture like Leta deserves to win an OSL/MSL. Seems really good until you take a closer look and see how flawed and limited they actually are...aka should never, ever, ever happen.


that's a terrible analogy just for the fact that a movie can't be judged better than another movie objectively, yet a player can be objectively better than another in Starcraft by beating them

you can point out flaws and limitations of anything if you try to, it's a matter of perception and appreciation for art


Really? Because I feel that if Avatar won best picture the Oscars would have been a total joke.


well they're called feelings for a reason =D

many people think they're a joke anyways

THL and Avatar both sucked IMO. I was pulling for Inglorious Bastards and District 9 myself. Or Up just for kicks.

It sucks D9 didn't get anything.
It should have at least won film editing (instead of the hurt locker); the way it flicked between the documentary was very clever. Or maybe it could have won adapted screenplay.

I think the way they vote for the Oscars must be pretty stupid, you shouldn't get one film just sweep everything because it's the flavour or the month.
Oh and btw the producer of THL was banned from the awards because he sent emails to all the judges insisting they should vote for his film. Obviously it worked and now he's gonna make shit loads of money.

I was quite disappointed when District 9 or Inglorious Basterds didn't get anything (other than supporting actor). They were both very good films that had a lot of qualities over The Hurt Locker or Avatar. The Hurt Locker to me was kinda dull and tried to have a bit of meaning but there are just so many better war films. Avatar only had visual effects; the plotline was very dry. District 9 and Inglorious Basterds were both something fresh, and great movies at the same time.
