   Ten Best Picture Nominees out of which barely two even deserve to be nominated! I don't know should i cry or laugh! It's like the movie business is out of good business!!!!

   *** This review may contain spoilers ***

   I found this night to be quite bad! Why? Because i think that among all
   the TEN NOMINEES there were only two that actually deserved to be
   nominated and those definitely weren't THE HURT LOCKER or THE AVATAR! I
   know, i know… Now, all of you guys that read this want to kill me
   because of what i said! This the AVATAR'S night, right? Well, not
   really! AVATAR is a good, maybe even great movie with the best CGI ever
   but to say that it gives us something new in the way of storytelling or
   anything else is either dull or said by an unexperienced watcher!!! The
   same is for THE HURT LOCKER which is also a good movie but as AVATAR
   nothing outstanding. Except for directing! Directing was flawless! UP
   at my opinion is an average if not a bad cartoon and it definitely
   didn't deserve the hype it got! Last year's WALL-E was five times
   better. THE BLIND SIDE is a joke and i really don't know what was it
   doing at the Oscars. I mean it's an alright movie but i've seen
   hundred's of better and even in the sport genre!!! And SANDRA BULLOCK'S
   performance was good but not as close as good as everyone said it was.
   DISTRICT 9 was a great sf that starts great but in the second half
   comes out as an action blood shad movie who's place is not at the
   Oscars. Though, i still do think it's a great movie and if there is one
   award it deserved to be at least nominated for it's the one for Best
   Director! AN EDUCATION was quite good even it could have been done way
   better! It somehow starts as a movie that's unusual and somewhere along
   the way turns out to be usual! PRECIOUS was good though at parts way
   overacted and overreacted or overdone and it somehow drown's it self in
   it's own story that could have been written a lot better! But it's
   still quite a movie! A SERIOUS MAN was also good but far away from
   deserving the nomination!

   This get's me to the two remaining movies, those are UP IN THE AIR and
   INGLORIOUS BASTERDS! I really can't decide which ones better! In it's
   own genre they're both quite good. UP IN THE AIR showed us an untold,
   though, regular story yet not seen on movies before while INGLORIOUS
   BASTERDS showed us a regular story with cool dialogue and a brilliant,
   yet not seen ending before! At my opinion, these are the only two
   movies that deserved to be even nominated for Best Picture and the only
   two movies that were highly underrated!!!!!! THIS YEAR'S WINNER OR EVEN
   THE MOST OF THE NOMINEES DIDN'T EVEN EARN TO BE EVEN NOMINATED!!!!!!!!

   Oh yeah, and BEN STILLER is way better as JAKE SULLY than SAM
   WORTHINGTON!!!!!

   No,No,No

   This was the most boring and unfair Oscar show in the history of the
   Oscar shows. "The Hurt Locker" is not an Oscar worthy movie, Oh my
   Gosh… Why the heck this boring and bad movie won 6 Oscars.. This is
   so unfair. "Avatar" deserved all of the 9 Oscars it was nominated for.
   "Up" is a really good movie but I'm still wondering : Was it better
   than "Coraline"…. I think the song "Be Italian" by Fergie (which is
   my favorite singer by the way) should be nominated for "Best Song" and
   then win. "Nine" didn't win an Oscar, which is weird because it's one
   really good musical… I said, this show was unfair, but the most
   unfair thing in it was that "The locker" put the "Hurt" on "Avatar"
   because James Cameron's masterpiece will be known as "masterpiece"
   after 20 years, and "The Hurt Locker", well… I can't tell it's a
   masterpiece… And I'm sure that after 20 years the people wouldn't
   know about this stupid movie…. How i said 2 or 3 times, Unfair Show

   tuning up

   Well, the world has changed. So did the people (specially the people).
   Not being American, i never shared the prime time family moment of
   watching the Oscars ceremony. I suppose that would have a symbolic
   impact in the lives of the Americans, at least until a couple decades
   ago.

   Not today. I mean, people still value the prizes. The Oscar is still,
   like Fellini would put it, the highest prize in the mythology of
   cinema. People care about the prize, because it is invested of somewhat
   a mythical proportions. It's showbiz, and Hollywood has always known
   much about that, much about illusion. But today the Oscars-prizes, is a
   thing totally separated from the Oscars-ceremony. The first one still
   matters, despite its so celebrated unfairness, its so celebrated
   politics within, its so celebrated consideration that "the bigger the
   better" and that less risk in films equals higher entertainment and
   higher box office receipts. That's what ruled Citizen Kane or Taxi
   Driver out of the award. But hey, the thing is still hard-wired in the
   unconscious side of film goers. But not the ceremony. That one fades,
   increasingly. Television cannot be the only catalyzer of audiences, it
   just isn't possible, and the very idea of the gala, the party where
   famous people get together, with fancy dresses and fake smiles, and
   deliver and get awards, just isn't appealing anymore. Not as it used to
   be. So in a way, these Oscars TV shows do not work for us today for the
   same reason that, for instance, Elizabethan plays won't work in the
   same way: our minds are simply not immediately tuned to it, not
   anymore. We no longer immediately assume that a couple guys telling
   some jokes in front of lots of famous actors and directors is amusing.
   So, Unless the show is exceptionally well conceived, we just won't
   connect. That's why today we only care about The very best Elizabethan
   plays. The average and bad ones that were entertaining back than,
   simply aren't anymore. That's the thing with this ceremony.

   This one was Not exceptionally well done, rather poor actually. So i
   didn't connect to it.

   My opinion: 2/5
