Glad stupid Avatar didn't take it all. It didn't deserve all the prizes.

[CaraRawr]

Agreed - only 3 obvious awards it must be a bit of an upset.

[Iceman]

[red]

Jeff Bridges is one of my favorite actors evahh!! nice to see him getting the recognition he deserves!

[Princess]

Stayed up all night watching this,my god it's long! Woop for UP and Sandra Bullock.

[Callum]

Yay for Sandra and Up.

[Ruth*Star]

Glad stupid avatar didn't get best picture.

I've seen the Blind Side, and I love Sandra Bullock! But an Oscar for that? Give me a break. Anyone couldve played that role, it was a very simple role. Granted the story is great, and the character is a very nice character, but cmon!

I am happy for her, as she doesnt get to play many complicated roles, but its gotta be one of the weakest best actress performance ever.

[Wildcat!]

Why all the hate on Avatar? That movie never pretended to be anything that its not! Its a movie about visual effects and 3D, so it won the awards it should win. WHats the problem with it? MOst people went to watch it, and thought it was amazing. And it broke all box office records, still doing it.

[Niamh.]

I loved it anyway Wildcat!

[IheartBB]

Well what a surprising bunch of winners... :joker:

The only problem I have with this years ceromony is that the Academy set out to reach the general cinema going public again by making some silly changes (10 films, no song performance, 45 second speechs etc) - then they completey went against this by awarding The Hurt Locker - the lowest grossing film ever to win best picture. Don't get me wrong, I liked the film and it was a typical Oscar choice, but why make out as if there are changes being made when there clearly aren't? They missed their chance last year with The Drak Knight, and they've missed the boat this year too. Why would a general cinema going public take any notice of the Oscars after their choices in recent years? It's little wonder why the focus these days is more on fashion than the actual movies.

[Wildcat!]

I loved it anyway Wildcat!

Glad someone around here did! I thought it was amazing. NOt just a movie, but a great visual spectacle. And I usually enjoy imaginary worlds in movies. MOvies to me arent suppose to reflect real life! THey are all fantasies!

[Lewis.]

So happy Sandra Bullock won after recieving a razzie for worst actress... She is amazing.

Im still in the minority that hasnt.....i have it here, but i just couldnt be arsed to watch it.....i'll wait till the hype dies down like i did with the Dark Night!

[Lewis.]

I prefered Avatar to Hurt locker..

[andyman]

Clearly they dislike James..

[setanta]

I still can't stop smiling. The Oscars has redeemed itself this year, except maybe for some of the Best Actor nominees. I have a few favourite performances of last year that I can't believe were forgotten about.

[Scarlett.]

Glad Avatar didnt win

[King Gizzard]

After going to see Crazy Heart today, I can see why Jeff Bridges got best actor

[andyman]

Yes victory for the film snobs.. Vile bunch.

[King Gizzard]

LOL indeed

[Wildcat!]

OK! IN ten years, I think I will remember Avatar! Them other movies, not so much, so to knock it just becuse you ahve a problem with the technological aspect, well good luck ! I thkn it was a movie for the ages, and will be the only one remembered, years from now!

[King Gizzard]

avatar is amazing


end of!

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Yay sandra, I must see crazy hearts now, and The Hurt Locker, and AVatar :)

[BB_Eye]

I would be very surprised and impressed to see Sandra Bullock turn in an award-worthy lead performance.

[Captain.Remy]

That's not my problem with it. I don't give a damn if it doesn't reflect reality because if I want reality, I go down the street and look at reality.
My issue with Avatar is that, it's an obvious story of 2 Smurfs having a sex affair full of stereotypes and the "environmental friendly" thing which seems to be a trend at the moment (I yet have to find how it is an eco-friendly film but whatever). The film is way too long and we know the ending in the first 15 minutes. Apart from that, it's great for visual effects but that's it. Nothing else. It's a boring film.

[M X]

I don't think anybody in history has been so deserving of an Oscar than Mo'Nique. Her performance in Precious was unbelieveable.

[M X]

I'm happy for Sandra, but I though Gabourey Sidibe and Carey Mulligan were both better.

[DrunkerThanMoses]

I agree with Sandra anyone could play that role, but Sandra just seems like a down to earth lady and her razzie speech had me in stiches. Im happy she won, and Monque was brillent in Precious, such a horrid character to paly, but she play it great for a comedian.

[zotler.]

Ah, I also love Sandra... Avatar was a great film in my opinion.

[setanta]

I would be very surprised and impressed to see Sandra Bullock turn in an award-worthy lead performance.

She was fine in it. Nothing special. I think she's just the darling of Hollywood now, that's all.

[setanta]

Nah, it'll only be remembered for the technology it helped create. As a film it will be chuckled at for years to come.

[M X]

Avatar was brilliant.

Ditto well deserved, glad precious got a look in at the oscars and good to see Hurt Locker win best film

[setanta]

Her speech was a bit of an "oh dear" moment though. Bit of a wally to tell you the truth but yeah, she deserved it.
