So anger. ABC pulled out from cablevision so I can't watch it on TV.
Christoph Waltz won, ha, obvious.

Kathryn and The Hurt Locker got both awards... wow. Congratulations! Wanted Avatar to win best picture though. Hah, he lost to his ex-wife.

[Romek]

Avatar deserved more.

 

[thewrongvine]

Avatar deserved more.

I agree.

No fair, ABC isn't on, then at 9:30 they get back on... still I missed it. Had to watch it on the computer,

Well... what?

In 10 years, the movie which people will remember the most from 2009 is certainly not The Hurt Locker. Especially that there's only one copy of that movie in just about every video store I visit.

Might be a nice movie, but I'm not American. It's pretty much patriotism at its best, no wonder why it won in an American-based award competition.

The Original Screenplay should have went to Inglourious Basterds, definitely. And James Horner is truly one of the best at making movie scores, and I thought he had scored it with Avatar.

Sound Mixing Editing isn't exactly hard to do when you only have gunfires and explosions to work with. I might not be a pro there but I don't know where they've taken their standards. Maybe on the Moon or something, at least far enough to give The Hurt Locker the win.

This might seem like a Hurt Locker hate post but truly, this movie just shouldn't have been named the movie of the year and receive 6 oscars. It's just a good war movie, that's what it is. My 2 cents.

It's pretty much patriotism at its best

The Hurt Locker was not a movie, so far as I could tell, that paraded politics at its forefront. I didn't see it as being a big, gung-ho Americans-are-here-to-kick-ass-and-we-do-it-to-defend-our-country crap kind of thing; it was just the jobs of the EOD and that's what I saw. No politics. Oh, and I'm not American either.

Sound Mixing Editing isn't exactly hard to do when you only have gunfires and explosions to work with.

Tension, man, tension! I watched it again on Blu-ray with the sound cranked up and there are some scenes where the tension is just ramped up and it really keeps you on the edge of your seat. Take the scene in the desert where they're ambushed by snipers. The prolonged silence means every little thing stands out and the crack of a gunshot really rings out.

The Original Screenplay should have went to Inglourious Basterds, definitely.

Most certainly should have done. This might (for the most part) sound like a Hurt Locker fanboy post, but in all honestly Inglourious Basterds was my favourite film of last year

 

[thewrongvine]

Sounds from The Hurt Locker were amazing, man. They did really well there.
I think Avatar should've won best picture, and Kathryn Bigelow deserved best director, though she probably won since "she's the first woman" blah.

[Danny Cross]

Avatar deserved more.

I agree ...I like the best actress,Sandra Bullock ...Now I would like to see hurt locker

How can you agree if you haven't even seen The Hurt Locker?

I haven't seen it either but I've been meaning to for a while, I've only heard great things about it.

She agreed to Avatar deserving more, so I don't know if she has to see the others to compare that,

Yes, go see The Hurt Locker. See all the nominees for best picture,
Hurt Locker got 6 awards, Avatar got 3, lol.

I agree to avatar deserving more but I see your point...If I haven't see it I shouldn't judge

 

[sqrage]

Ah thought you guys were saying Avatar deserved best picture "more" than The Hurt Locker.

 

[Danny Cross]

Ah thought you guys were saying Avatar deserved best picture "more" than The Hurt Locker.

No, no.. just that it deserved more awards in general I have not seen Hurt Locker therefore, my opinion there means kind of nothing

 

[thewrongvine]

Ah thought you guys were saying Avatar deserved best picture "more" than The Hurt Locker.

I think Avatar deserved best picture. And I saw like... all the nominees, lol. All of them were great, but I think Avatar entertained with a "wow" the most. But Kathryn Bigelow deserves best director over James Cameron.
I guess best picture and best director should usually be the same since... you know, but I think it should've been Picture - Avatar, Director - Hurt Locker.
