Have you ever watched Dances with Wolves? Avatar has almost the exact same plot. The effects in Avatar are amazing, but I think the dark horse, Inglourious Basterds, will upset Avatar.

Thank You!  While I think Avatar is a good movie, I was disappointed with how identical it's plot was to Dances with Wolves (although it had some interesting new themes).  On topic, I wouldn't doubt that The Hurt Locker would get it.  Been hearing great things about it and I've been wanting to see it.

To all those people that love to point out that Avatar has the same play as Dances with Wolves-- who cares?

Really, how many original movies are there out there?  What movies aren't based off another plot?  How many of those are actually good?

Who really cares that one movie borrows heavily from another movie?

I also find it funny that people love to point out how it's the same movie as Dances with Wolves and not Pocahontas which it's closer to.

Still though, who cares?  A good movie is a good movie.
