What are you talking about?

I just like that a Star Trek film won an Oscar. I don't care that it was makeup or whatever. A Star Trek film won an Oscar. It's like bizarroworld.

FWIW -- The Hurt Locker is better than Saving Private Ryan but I don't know why the dirk made the comparison in the first place (unless he made it out of a reductive "both have something to do with the military" line of thought.

Hurt Locker
Avatar/Up (too close to call)
Precious
I think A Serious Man was just thrown in because the Coens have won a lot of Oscars in the past, I dont think it had a serious chance of winning. I think IB gets nominated before it. I liked both movies a lot though.

Maybe its just my opinion getting in the way though, I though Inglorious Basterds was the best movie of the year.

I think Hurt Locker mostly won because a lot of people didn't really want Avatar winning because it was so trite, and that was the movie that got rallied around.

On what level would you argue that The Hurt Locker is better than SPR?

I think SPR getting passed up is one of the worst mistakes in Oscar history.

Hurt Locker was a good story, onscreen and off. I think that is part of it's success. They like the indie feel.

I'm going to see Hurt Locker soon though.
The Hurt Locker is a great movie I am not going argue about that and it is definitely worth seeing multiple times.

Wow, is that the first one?

I looked it up and II, IV, VI and First Contact were nominated for stuff but didn't win anything.

If I was going to rank Top Military\War Movies it might make Top 5...maybe

Of course this is all personal preference

True.

I would love to get Barbara Streisand and Quentin Tarantino, put them in a car that is controlled by remote control, add plenty of wireless cameras all around the inside, then drive the ****er off the side of the grand canyon.

First douse it in gasoline and light it on fire.
