The Hurt Locker

Re: The Hurt Locker

Hurt Locker is a really good movie, but shouldn't be an Oscar winner. A nomination is imo what it was worthy of. Avatar should have won based on the story, special effects and being the biggest box office ever at this point. I think we'll look back years from now and remember Avatar more than Hurt Locker and think why did Hurt Locker get the nod.

Re: The Hurt Locker

as with any awards show, who really cares.. if you need an award show to validate your like or dislike for a movie that's on you

Re: The Hurt Locker

Politics? Hurt Locker dealt with 'real' issue while AVATAR was fluff. Also possible that because so many people were betting on AVATAR, it backfired on the academy during judging.

Re: The Hurt Locker

I wonder how pissed James Cameron was and how his ego feels today that his ex-wife who was sitting in front of him won out for best pic.

Box office success shouldn't be determinative of whether or not a movie is any good. For more on this, see Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

I do agree with you that Avatar will still probably be the movie that is more remembered, because it truly was groundbreaking and will likely go down as ushering in a new era of film-making, as the Wizard of Oz did with color. As a complete film, though, it left me feeling a bit hollow.

he's not pissed, they collaborate all the time, plus they were married 20 years ago and for only 3 years.

Ya--I've watched a bunch of interviews with James Cameron, Catherine and him work together and root for each other completely.

I think Cameron is happy for Catherine with no hard feelings whatsoever.
