It's a sad day when I see so many people actively cheering for a movie based on little more than visual niceties.

The Hurt Locker was 100 times the movie that Avatar is. Hell, even UP was more engaging to me just for the first 10 minutes of the film. Avatar wasn't even the best sci-fi movie of the year... Star Trek was more fun and District 9 was more intelligent and interesting.

Cinema is an audio-visual medium, and Avatar utilizes visual effects like no movie ever before. It's a much more important movie for cinema then The Hurt Locker, which is just another war movie. Honestly I'm tired of war movies/biopics/nazi movies winning best picture oscars. It's about time a sci fi movie wins. So go Avatar!!!

The award isn't for "most important film", it's for "best film".

I agree that sci-fi movies deserve more love than they get at the Oscars but Avatar is the wrong film to break that cycle. It's just not that good. Besides, Return of the King cleaned up not that long ago.
