Visually stunning and great soundwork but an obvious and unoriginal story. I hope it does well in the technical categories tonight but it should not be "Best Picture".

Just my 2 cents....
Well, looks like the Academy agreed with you. No real argument from me either.

I haven't seen Hurt Locker yet so I have no personal opinion on that. Funny thing, though, about Hurt Locker is that while the consensus among professional critics has been pretty much, "terrific", the rection among the viewing public has been more like, "not bad".

Dances With Wolves+Ewoks+Revenge of an Inconvienient Truth + FernGully = Avatar. Yeah true, but I enjoyed it anyway since I go to flicks for passive entertainment not to stoke my effete-snob critic hauteur.
