No way. There were at least 3 movies that were way better than that movie.

It was OK, but Inglorious Bastards was WAY better.

That, The Blind Side, Julia and Julie, and Up in the Air I thought were much better.

I liked Hurt Locker, but I agree it wasn't "all that"
Inglorious Basterds was very good, Quentin's best to date. His usual crazy style, but it fit in the end, typical with his style
Julie and Julia is a good movie, not a great movie. Streep's performance was spot on, as I have watched Julia Child a lot in my life, and she nailed her mannerisms

I have not seen the Blind Side or Avatar

I think Avatar was snubbed purposely because of too much CGI, I think Hollywood was making a statement. CGI has been taking way too much away from making real movies, look at past winners that were big winners like Lord of the Rings and others that were CGI heavy. I think Hollywood is saying "Enough"

I liked Crazy Heart. Bridges was awesome.

Hurt Locker was good but not best.

The Blind Side is a very good movie. I'm glad Sandra won best actress for that.

nada, just had a spare minute to check up on who won Daytona. How many more weeks you got until you can ride and not freeze the jewels off?

hurt locker won over avatar prob because cameron is a prick.

he never takes days off, except once when he thought he had swine flu and missed a half a day. prob works everybody as hard as he works himself, so to say F.U. they gave it to his poor EX.

5 years from now no one will remember The hurt locker. avatar in i-max 3d was amazing.

Supposed to be 70+ this weekend but unfortunately my shoulder is fooked from a fall skiing about 6 weeks ago. I just went to the doc a week ago and he told me to give it another 6 weeks and if it doesn't get better to come back. I want his job. Smile

I don't know but apparently Woody Harrelson's suit was made out of hemp.

But Avatar was total shit. Glad it didnt win much. Given the nominations I would have picked Inglorious Bastards for best pic. There wasnt much to choose from.

I agree about avatar. It did nothing for me and was basically a cartoon.

When you are working with someone who has had the highest grossing movie of all time on his second record breaking project, don't you think he expects 100% out of everyone? If he puts in that much effort, he must expect the same out of anyone on staff.

Couldn't believe The Hurt Locker beat Basterds for original screenplay. So basically a reporter follows around a 3 man bomb team, then comes home and writes a movie that follows around a 3 man bomb team.
One of the guys the writer followed around in Iraq has already sued them over the movie.

Agreed. Bastards was short changed because of Quentin.
