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? | ||

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. | ||

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

He had 6 months and a budget of 15 millions, and he did that. Really, he doesn't deserve it. 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 | ||

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. | ||
