Who got robbed and who got what they deserved during the Oscars?
i for one was glad to see "Avatar" not win best picture. as great as it was, it was also over hyped. If it were up to me, i'd given the best picture award to either "Precious", "Inglourious Basterds" or "District 9", but that's just me. However, "The Hurt Locker" was a great film too, and I liked it. Therefore, I was happy to see the Academy didn't pick NOW to start listening to the social majority of America, when it came to giving out that award. Besides, we're talking about the same country that voted for Taylor Lautner for "Best up and coming actor" in the "People's Choice Awards." lol. therefore, I'm glad with the results.
Hear, Hear!
Did you know that it was Cameron's ex-wife who directed The Hurt Locker?
That must stingyeah, but not as bad as the fact that did you know that James Cameron actually recommended her to direct "the hurt locker", so i guess you can say that was a very smart move on his part.
Little did he know . . .
I just can't imagine an ego as big as his taking it all that calmly
actually I read and heard him in a couple of interviews before the awards and he said he thought she deserves the award and was hoping she would get it. not sure he felt that way about the movie though.
either way I was happy with the results. loved both of the movies.
I didn't see some of the others, so I don't know. I do want to see Precious and Inglorious Bastards.
this afternoon I'm going to see Shutter Island...

thanks ann. i appreciate you saying that. your more than welcome to post your opinions here too.
lol. same here. i guess its true what they say about great minds thinking alike.
plus, i wouldn't mind having the freedom to travel whenever and wherever i wanted, as that's always been my dream to travel the world.
I was happy that an Irish man got an award for Avatar - helps the small industry here
