Best Writing, Screenplay Based on Material Previously Produced or Published

^^^^^How come Avatar wasnt up for this award?

lol

I think it would be original screenplay, though.

 

And while I didn't think The Hurt Locker deserved best picture, I'm just glad Avatar didn't win. That would've been awful.

Just wished Inglourious Basterds got original screenplay

James Cameron created the whole story/universe of Avatar it couldn't have been nomintated in that category.  It should have been nomintated for best original screenplay but got snubbed.


You obviously didnt get the joke, but thats ok.  And no it shouldnt have been nominated for best original screenplay,  there was nothing original about it.

What was original about it?   The giant blue people?

I really wanted Up to win Best picture, I knew it didn't stand a chance but after seeing most of the nominees ( I haven't seen a serious man yet) I can say that Up was the best. Also, i love Sandra Bullock but Meryl Streep should have won!

I'm pretty sure it was a lot more original when James Cameron first came up with the idea over 15 years ago he just didn't have the tools to make it into a feature film back then.

Up won the Oscar for best animated feautre film which is almost as good.  Where the Wild Thinks are was one of the best movies of 2009 and it got ZERO nomintations.

Haven't seen Avatar yet so I can't compare it with Dances with Wolves.

It wasn't really an incredible year for cinema (at least by most snooty standards).

That, and the Academy Awards are boring. The Christoph Waltz award makes me very happy though. The dude totally deserves it.


I'm glad he won as well, he was the only thing good about a very terrible movie.
