Ok, I just got done watching the Oscar’s and what a waste of time and effort too have 10 movies for best picture and none of the extra ones having a chance. Since The Hurt Locker won people do not honestly think this one wouldn’t have been in the Top 5? I know film is subjective, but to be honest The Hurt Locker is a damn good film, but didn’t deserve the 6 awards it brought home at all. Thanks academy to chickening out and still having the animated film win best animated picture and not having the guts to give it best picture. It felt like such a cop out considering The Hurt Locker will not be a film that people will be able to watch multiple times unlike some of the other nominations.
Also, Avatar should have only taken home best special effects (even though District 9 was better and done for SO much less). They gave Avatar best cgi, best art direction, and cinematography are you fucking kidding me? Congrats to Sandra Bullock on her win, but this also felt like a cop out because Meryl Streep had that won hands down or even woman from Precious were the two front runners… It just seemed this years was more off then normal to me with all the surprising winners. I really want to see Jeff Bridge’s Crazy Heart now because I had no clue about this film, but after his win definitely makes me want to go see it. I am very surprised Jeff did not break down during the actresses praising before the award.
Overall, this was a disappointing award show for me the only one I was pleased about was Waltz cleaning up the supporting actor category. Can we please have Hugh Jackman back now as the host???
