Oscars

There seems to be a fair bit of whining this morning about The Hurt Locker winning the big awards last night as alot of people think Avatar should have won. In my usual not giving a fucking shit what everyone thinks I'm afraid I disagree. The Hurt Locker was without doubt one of last years best films and although I enjoyed Avatar it was still at the end of the day just really pretty to look at and was generally a mix up of all his previous sci-fi films. I'm sure you all thought they were the hunter killer ships from Terminator. Cameron has had Oscar success in the past so is it really that bad that someone else was recognised for a fucking great film? Good to see Waltz win one for Basterds as it was my favourite performance last year and I'm glad Precious got one to. Review coming soon. So it's all over for another year and lets hope this year gives us some more great films to keep us fucking entertained so until next year just fuck off because I don't want to fucking discuss it so I'll leave you with this comment I saw on a forum "giving an Oscar to Avatar would be like giving a Michelin star to McDonalds".

All the comments I've been reading have been applauding the Oscar's for making the right decision and not just going for the big budget, blockbuster, popular movie!
I STILL haven't seen hurt locker - I had it scheduled in for tonight, but the video shop won't have it now it's won everything!
I'm gutted Tarantino didn't get a nod. Avatar deserved what it got, and I agree The Hurt Locker is (probably, since I haven't seen it yet, but am planning to this week) better.
Fuck 'Avatar'! It was brilliant but at the end of the day was a video game, not a film. The best film won (on that list at anyway). Still think 'Moon' should've gotten a nod somewhere.
Well happy that Christoph Waltz won for Best Supporting Actor!
No matter what you think - this is great:

It's the Red Carpet dresses - all lovingly recreated in paint. Funny as fuck.
Well, doubt anybody had doubted that Waltz would get the award.
Avatar got the awards for being video game-y.
And those dresses are indeed funny as fuck.
