I saw it, gets way too much hate.

It's a good movie, try not looking too hard at it.

If you don't do a critical analysis of the movie, it is totally worthy of awards. Awards that are based on a critical analysis.

You make a good point.

He had a high budget, but every dollar of that ended up on the screen. Making Avatar was still a ridiculous challenge. Denying this is pretty foolish, IMO, even if you didn't like the film.

How was it a challenge for Cameron? He had a small fortune at his disposal, if anything, directing that amusement park ride was the easy part. The real people that had a grueling task to deal with were the 6 producers, 2 editors, 3 supervising art directors, 5 production managers, a gigantic second unit and a special effects department the size of a large production crew.

WOE IS CAMERON.

You have like, almost no fundamental understanding of what the award is about.

Hey look, a career award. Thank god there aren't any big performances in big movies, or this could've blown over.

YAY

Not only did Bigelow do more with less, but she succeeded at her full duties as a director - executing her vision for the story and getting award-worthy performances out her actors.

Cameron had a small army to do his technical bidding, which was never in question, but failed to get anything out of his performers. Certainly nothing more than adequate.

Quote from: Green Shinobi

Are you also the type who thinks sports win MVP awards if the team around them is too good?

No, but I don't think a quarterback should win MVP if his personal numbers are mediocre, but the rest of the team is spectacular. James Cameron is like the Trent Dilfer of directors.

So, out of a bunch of shitty computer generated performances, he got the second best? Awesome. Way to go James Cameron, you just beat Jar Jar Binks and the ape from King Kong.

Not really, I quite enjoyed Avatar for what it was- an awesome special fx flick. You're the only one breaking your neck to tongue Jim Cameron's asshole at every opportunity.

Bigelow, Cameron, either is a good pick for best director. Cameron is unbeatable at huge budget action blockbusters, the other chick did real good with that war flick.

Only Zaldana did something worth mentioning (pure performance wise), yet, her distinguished mentally-challenged child like crying sound made the whole theater go "Ok...this is awkward, do i laugh or what?" then you hear a couple of young girls going "lolol" and you know whats up.
