What movie do you think will win Best Picture in 82nd Academy Awards?

@Boutros and Wick

Avatar- Avatar's storyline was good, but as unoriginal as it gets since it is almost exactly like Dances with Wolves. You could say that all movies' plot comes from another, but most movies come up with a unique twist in the plot. The only true difference between Dances with Wolves and Avatar is the setting. I have no problem with it winning every video effect and audio award because they were incredible! However, it does not deserve to win Best Picture. If it were Avatar vs Up, i would probably pick Up every single time since even that has more originality and emotional attachment to the characters. Avatar's characters were not that great. None of them could relate to the audience, and the bad guy was a racist guy even though it's almost 200 years in the future.

Inglourious Basterds- Basterds has the best cast this year. Brad Pitt was hilarious and kicked ass! The audience loved rooting on the Basterds and wanted them to grind down Hitler's face in anyway possible. Shosanna(the girl who escaped in the beginning) had a life filled with anger and wanted revenge for the Nazis killing her family. The audience felt her sorrow and understood her rage. Christopher Waltz(the bad guy) is going to win Best Supporting Actor. His role as the "Jew Hunter" was so fantastically performed that I get excited when he comes into the scene. The plot of the movie was kinda complex since there were many people involved. Shosanna wanted revenge, Waltz wanted prestige, and the Basterds just wanted to kill Nazis. The best part about the plot was that it had nothing to do with the actual history of WWII. This allowed Tarantino(the director) to setup the plot the way he desired and allowed for lots of surprise unlike Valkyrie, in which everyone knew what the ending was. It was boring at some points and could have been trimmed to 2 hours (instead of the 2 and 1/2 that it was), but it doesn't hurt it's chance of winning Best Picture since Avatar did the exact same thing. Overall, I think Basterds is a worthy candidate for Best Picture.
