Anyone but Cameron
Anyone but Cameron
YES !
Precious is gonna win film of the year, it HAS to happen now, it HAS to !

She's 58 years old, wow!
I think it will be Avatar not that it deserves it
Hurt Locker might just win it then, but I have faith the right movie will previal !!
Wow! Now that's television. This is the biggest alimony let alone James Cameron but any man should have to pay.
Tom Hanks time
It's the hurt locker
That had to have been the least Tom Hanks has ever said
That was quick...Hurt Locker
Hell yes! feck Avatar and James Cameron.
MUFC07 is in ecstasy right now.
THe Hurt Locker should have been disqualified in fairness
He has 6.5 Billion reasons to not care
Though it's good it didn't win, though it was quite an adventure it was enhanced by the fact he earned so much off it.
you guessed it right!!! feck you James Cameron and your over-rated piece of shit!!!!Ay yeah, what happened there !?
Holy feck.

Yeah and the fact that he make a few sequels, the real crime is that the shit movie even got nominated
One of the producers appealed via email to most of the voters which wasnt allowed
Yes! Was rooting for the Hurt Locker all night.
It wasn't shit, but if the Dark Knight didn't win, neither should have Avatar, and i'm glad it turned out that way.
Aaaah yes, the rules were bent for this one I see.
If I'm not mistaken wasn't it just a mass email in general asking people that if they knew someone voting to urge them to vote for The Hurt Locker? It's a subtle distinction but the fact that it wasn't direct probably made the difference.
Ah it's pretty sneaky, end of the day the offender loses the privledge of the award ceremony and all that is these award shows.
Hosting was fantastic, good awards show I must say.
1. Can't believe Berger and The White Ribbon didn't win Cinematography, why the feck did Avatar win it?
2. Woohoo Kathryn Bigelow!
3. The Blind Side looks like a proper shit film
4. Woohoo Waltz!
5. Foreign film and documentary was a travesty.
6. The people in the breaks at NRK was the worst I've ever seen on television
That's all.

A fair result i thought, Avatar has the bells & whistles but has a cliche storyline & that i think is why it didnt win. The Hurt Locker is a brilliantly written film.
It's actually not a bad film, worth a watch.

The Blind Side is a very good film, and Bullock was exceptional. Its hard to knock a film based on a true story.
It's probably going to be my loss, but I'm not going to watch that film
Just a little bit of fecking brain, a little bit, and it would have made it. Instead, it's shit. feck it.
The Hurt Locker is the lowest grossing film to win an Oscar. Avatar is the highest grossing, and was directed by Bigelows ex-husband.
The irony.
The irony.
I like Crazy Heart, but I had no idea it was rated at all when I watched it. Glad Jeff Bridges won that thing.
Yes, Avatar has too weak a story to be a realistic contender. It had to be included just because of the gross.
...oh, and I giggled when Oprah said that Sidebe woman was going on to have a glowing career and lots of roles in the future. Sorry babe, I have a feeling this is as good as it gets. Well, unless they are making a Mark Henry biography.

Can't believe Hurt Locker won. What a farce.
But you show a bunch of yank critics a film about black and white American soldiers befriending each other and being the victims of a foreign war, then crying copiously into each other's arms and it'll be a guaranteed award winner. The rest of it doesn't matter.
For sheer spectacle and audacity, Avatar should have won. If you want to go deeper than that and reward excellent scriptwriting and acting, then Inglourious Basterds should have won. But, nope, the Emperor's New Clothes curse strikes again, with one film just becoming "the" film, and the critics tossing each other off over it even though us layfolk can't understand the hype. It happened with No Country For Old Men, too.
Also, Katheryn Bigelow was always going to win Best Director, because it meant they got to make history with the first woman winner - and they weren't going to turn down that opportunity for a bit of publicity. The Oscars have been a predictable waste of time for years now. Remember Heath Ledger being practically guaranteed the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor because he died? That summed them up, frankly.

Wow that's a nice suprise. Avatar deserved the Oscars it got. They CGI work was as good as i've seen.
But as far as 'best film' goes, I'm reminded of the famous Kurosawa quote "...with a bad script even a good director can't possibly make a good film" And Avatar's script is as bad as they come.

Heath Ledger was guaranteed the Oscar because he gave an outstanding performance.
When you say "us layfolk"...you mean you. Everyone else thinks it was quite deserved. You're obviously just exceptionally dim CD...But don't worry, I've got some flashing lights in a bag if you like?...Look at the pretty lights..yeeeesss...they're pretty aren't they?
Aahh Good boy
Can't really argue with that decision. It wasn't a particularly strong bunch of candidates this year. Hurt Locker was a good film, not a great one.
I'm surprised there was a better foreign film than Un Prophete though.
