3D does not equate to Academy Award. that is the only thing that movie brought to the table.

And what did the Hurt Locker bring that the other war\military movies haven't brought? I loved the Hurt Locker but it isn't a better movie than Saving Private Ryan which didn't win Best Picture.

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

The Oscars are not meritorious, dirk. Sandra Bullock won one, for ****'s sake. That's like Tom Chambers winning an NBA MVP or giving the Cy Young to Scott Kazmir.

Aside from the technological aspects (for which there are individual categories) what did Avatar bring to the table. Without 3d, Avatar isn't a top 10 movie of all time nor an Oscar BP nom. Fact.

Avatar already won Best Picture when it was called Dances With Wolves.

I thought Hurt Locker was very good. Avatar, while groundbreaking wasn't cinematic gold IMHO. I guess if you see BP as a true achievement and innovation award, it was worth, but beyond that the story nor acting were worthy.

I loved the Hurt Locker but it doesn't hold Avatar's jock strap

The same can be said for Star Wars, which also didn't win the Academy.

Sandra Bullock just won a ****ing Oscar?
Are you mother****ing serious? This is why I pirate movies from Netflix.
