@09tarheel:

In no way did I imply that my statement was fact. I even said the word "thought" in the first line of my post, I guess in order for it to be apparent I'm talking about my opinion I need to write imo every few words?

I don't ususally like "war" movies but thought The Hurt Locker was great, mainly because it didn't really seem like a war movie.

Tht's the only instance in which you used the word "thought" (when you reffered to the quality of The Hurt Locker).

"its not like Avatar was actually deserving of winning an Oscar"

This statement doesn't suggest opinion, but rather fact.

Also what does not winning technical Oscars have to do with anything? Is it just that you are such a big Avatar fan that is why you are so upset that about the Hurt Locker?

I'm not a big Avatar fan, I just hate all the love The Hurt Lokcer's been getting, mostly because I see it as undeserved. And you saying that Avatar deserved no technical Oscars is quite frankly so ignorant that it's beyond you being able to get away with saying that it's just your opinion.

but it is not the type of movie to win an Oscar

And yet it won 3, and should've also won the 3 tehcnical Oscars (Editing, Sound Editing, Sound Mixing) that The Hurt Locker undeservedly won.


I of course meant Avatar was not deserving of the best picture Oscar (Disclaimer IMO, better?) although I should have made it more clear by stating "the" Oscar not "an" Oscar, I was not considering the smaller awards.  But sure Avatar was deserving of wins for most if not all of the technical awards.

Of course after criticicing me for not suggesting my comment was opinion, you go on to say -

"And yet it won 3, and should've also won the 3 tehcnical Oscars (Editing, Sound Editing, Sound Mixing) that The Hurt Locker undeservedly won."

without suggesting that it is your opinion anywhere.

I just hate all the love The Hurt Lokcer's been getting, mostly because I see it as undeserved.

Well the good news for you is that The Hurt Locker made $48 million worldwide and Avatar $2.8 billion. Avatar's impact on the industry has and will continue to be much larger than The Hurt Lockers'. I'd think everyone involved with Avatar would take the recognition they have gotten (both financially and critically) over The Hurt Locker's any day of the week.
