Hurt Locker wins 6 oscars, Avatar wins 3, Precious wins 2
I'm glad that the Oscars are the way they are. I know we all saw THL coming, but come on... it was the lowest grossing picture on the list and it won. It won because the academy thought it was the best movie. If this was based on popularity, the Oscars would be the equivalent of the MTV Movie Awards. Sure, Avatar was the highest grossing movie of all-time and for good reason, it's a highly entertaining spectacle of a movie. But, The Hurt Locker was a great movie in all aspects and therefore I feel like it deserves its accolades. Obviously, the Oscars don't get them right all the time and really it didn't get it right this time (Basterds should've won), but I feel like they made a good choice this year. People complain every year about how the Oscars played out and I didn't like that Tarantino and Reitman got snubbed, but it doesn't matter. And it doesn't matter that Avatar lost, it's still the highest grossing movie of all-time and nobody can take that away. But, it was not the best picture and to award the movie simply because it made the most money is stupid. Really stupid.
