they put more movies to get interest so people will watch
usually 4 of the 5 movies are ones people haven't seen and Up, District 9, Blind Side, Inglorious, Avatar were all popular movies

**fancylad** · 02-02-2010, 11:22 AM

I haven't seen any.

Although i will probably borrow Inglorious Basterds from my friend this weekend.

You should also see the hurt locker and District 9. Good movies.

**zachus** · 02-02-2010, 12:11 PM

They're saying Avatar is the front runner for best picture which is whacko. It was extremely sick and cool as fuck but was it a "great" movie? Meh...

Aside from Avatar it has to be between Inglorious Basterds and the Hurt Locker. Even the lesser known movies they listed aren't that great.

Windex · 02-02-2010, 12:16 PM

I heard Avatar wouldn't win cause its not a genre the voters like

**zachus** · 02-02-2010, 12:21 PM

It shouldn't win. It was a brilliant movie in its own right but it was filled with cheesy lines and cliché story advancements.

VanCity · 02-02-2010, 12:29 PM

These are the movies that i have seen out of the list:
Avatar
District 9
The Hurt Locker
Inglourious Basterds
Up
Up in the Air
Blind side

the one that should win IMO is the hurt locker, that movie was just awesome....district 9 close second for me...

**Ball Don't Lie** · 02-02-2010, 12:52 PM

I enjoyed Inglorious Basterds the most, but I think the Hurt Locker should win it because I think it was the best overall. Up in the Air was surprisingly good too but really isnt an Oscar caliber movie.

500 days of summer should also be on there. I usually dont like those kinds of movies but it was very good.

N64 · 02-02-2010, 01:23 PM

Inglorious Basterds deserves it imo, haven't seen the Hurt Locker yet so I cannot comment on it, gotta buy the blu ray

Avatar was good but doesn't deserve the best picture, I had a hell of a time watching it in 3D but like other said, it's not a masterpiece.

Seen District 9, a quality movie also, but I'd pick Inglorious Basterds over it

Avatar will demolish the compitition in the technology awards, but storyline, no.

it's no Lord of the Rings

I think Return of the King was the only movie in the series to win Best Picture, the earlier two only dominated in the technical part.

Maybe Avatar 3 will get it done

Avatar has a stolen idea,but for the special effect it can have an Oscar.My Top favorite is District 9

.It's like Avatar+Original Story.
