Figured it would be okay to stay in the Lounge for the evening. Feel free to move it if need be.

I just really hope Avatar doesn't walk away with it this year. Sure the technology was groundbreaking for films but as a film alone it lacked a lot of substance. I hope Hurt Locker takes it tonight.

I want Inglourious Basterds or Precious to win; but all the buzz is for Hurt Locker.
Hurt Locker was great from a film-making standpoint, but the plot was just kinda lacking I felt. I dunno. Maybe that's just me. |

I thought it stuck to the plot really well. The plot was simple, it was about a US EOD unit in Iraq. It didn't have the hollywood appeal love story or anything. It just put you there in the heart of the war. Not saying your opinion is wrong, just simply stating my own. That's what is great about movies is that everyone interprets them a different way. I know a lot of people that felt the same way you did. I thought Hurt Locker was fantastic. I hope it's either that or Inglorious Bastards tonight.

But again, it was great from a production stand-point. And well acted, well directed. |

Wont be watching, but hope that Inglorious Basterds gets best picture. It was the best movie of the year in my book, the others nominated all seem so-so.
I'm also cheering for In the Loop to win best screenplay, that was a frickin hilarious movie. |

Inglorious Basterds would be my pick for best picture but it looks pretty unlikely that it will win.

At the risk of offending my LA brethren, watching these jackals absolutely suck each other off like a gang of wild, sex-crazed Hells Angels can be a little disorienting at times
