The nominations for the Best Picture are:


And the Award goes to:
Avatar:
For the extraordinary technology revolution that it brought into film making. Cameron spend about 15 years thinking and executing this project what he came up with was a breathtaking visual treat for all movie goers; Avatar has been “the movie” of the year, eagerly awaited since the start of the year, it has been nominated in 9 categories:
* Best picture
* Directing
* Art direction
* Cinematography
* Film editing
* Original score
* Sound editing
* Sound mixing
* Visual effects
I had a very difficult time choosing between Avatar, Hurt Locker and The Inglourious Basterds, what I was bowled over was the technology behind it. Avatar is not a story that is gripping as the Hurt Locker or as beautifully made as the “Inglourious Basterds”, it’s simple and yet sophisticated, blends a future concept with today’s reality. Having said this The Hurt Locker and Inglourious  Basterds may make it to the podium ahead of Avatar.

I am totally impressed by Avatar myself, and I have not seen many of the nominated films like The Hurt Locker, An Education, Precious and A Serious Man. But... somehow I feel a more 'human' film, with a better story-line should win the Best Picture award and that is why I would not like Avatar to win this one. Out of the ones that I have seen, I feel District 9 is the most deserving...

Tht ways Minoy District 9 comes nowhere close to The Hurt Locker, arguably the best war movies in recent times. Hurt Locker's got drama, keeps on the edge of your seat, you can never guess whats going to happen the next frame, superb direction and decorated with an amazing performance by the actors. Had Avatar not released this year Hurt Locker would have swept away the Oscars. I'm a big fan of Hurt Locker and consider it more higher than Avatar

Lost to my fav Hurt Locker. For once Oscar has done a Volte Face from Golden Globes and a welcome surprise in terms of Best Picture. I thought Oscar mite b a bit biased towards Avatar but the unprejudiced Academy jury gave it to the best film
