Exactly this.

The only movies that really even stood a chance against THL were perhaps Inglourious Basterds, Up, and Up in the Air, and that's pushing it.

this brings up an interesting debate: money vs art. should the best picture be a visually breathtaking movie costing a shitfuckload to make, and raking in unreal amounts of money? or is the best picture one that takes a new angle to a fresh concept, maybe low budgeted and not as fantastic and awesome as a blockbuster, but effective in story and the "meat" of moviemaking?

this obviously is what went down tonight with Avatar vs. Hurt Locker, and i would say the right choice was made. avatar was no doubt a movie to remember for so many reasons, but to me its just not best picture material. to me, the best picture is driven by the basics of moviemaking. a story, characters, and a general sense of compassion for what is going on in the story. and for this, i feel the hurt locker couldnt have been more deserving.

Certain things, much like this, have a "best" option. Very few things are truly down to a difference of opinion. This is a case where there is a best option. I enjoyed Transformers more than 12 Angry Men but questioning which one is the better movie would be outrageous.

yours,

I love that the best director / picture winner was James Cameron's EX WIFE. SHE SHAT ON HIS CHEST!

PS....

Major Nelson just posted this:

Congrats to Hurt Locker for best picture. It is set in 2004 yet it had an Xbox 360 and Gears of War. (sigh) Oh Hollywood. Good film though!

You act like they are arch enemies. James Cameron called Bigelow's film the Platoon of the Iraq war. He was the one who convinced her to even accept the film.

IDK, it is just me that if my EX wife beat me when I released my film that revolutionized 3D and reset the bar for the revanue raised, I would be furious.

Good stuff.

I'm sure he was upset that he lost after he put so much effort into his film, but his relationship with Bigelow is not relevant what so ever.

shes a comedienne who has spent most of her life playing that stereotypical annoying black humor with jokes that revolve around "you know us black people do ______________" as the starting sentence. she hosted showtime at the apollo for a while and has had a shitload of random shows, and ive hated her for years. but her acting in precious made me put all that aside and im a fan now.
