So two science fiction movies got nominated for Best Picture Oscars eh? Cool! I doubt that's ever happened before. Though my knowledge of Academy History is pretty spotty- I won the Oscar pool one year but all the rest I couldn't tell you who won for what. Didn't they nominate way more movies this year? "And the nominees for Best Picture are . . . all of them! But not Transformers 2."
Anyways, I actually hope The Hurt Locker wins. I loved Avatar but you gotta think even Cameron is cheering for his ex. And does Avatar really need the Oscar win to push it over the top?
