	Is it just me, or are this year's best picture candidates better this year than they've been in a long time? And not just because there's 10 of them either.

	There should not be 10 best pic nominees. As if the academy could make themselves into more of a joke...

	I wrote this quiz, but if you want even more Oscar detail, I recommend this quiz that I didn't write which has the nominees in 20 Oscar categories: http://www.sporcle.com/games/Sheldon/2010_oscar_nominees On the other hand, if you're at an Oscar party and want to try a competitive Oscar trivia game, may I suggest http://www.sporcle.com/games/rockgolf/Progressively_Tougher_Oscars Starting with the best known Oscar-winners (based on past Sporcle results), you and other guests can alternate answering Oscar questions until one of you is stumped or time runs out. Fun for the whole family! Assuming your family are all Oscar geeks.

	will anyone else be really disappointed in the academy if they let avatar win? I feel like it'll win, but only because of how big a blockbuster its been and the spiffy CGI, and this makes me sad.

	The Hurt Locker will most likely win. It's looking more and more like the favorite with every award show up to this point.

	anyone else seriously opposed to having ten best picture nominees?

	rockgolf:	Mar 5th, 2010 at 21:00 GMT		7 points
	My prediction: The Academy knows that if Hurt Locker wins, it'll kill next year's ratings. Because probably 20 times as many people have seen Avatar as have seen Hurt Locker. They'll give Bigalow the Director Award. but give Best Picture to Avatar. Yeah, they often give the Best Picture to a "prestige" film, but when the box office is overwhelming, like Titanic or Lord Of The Rings, they'll take the populist train.

	@MovieDynamic: Fixes made. I think you're the only person I've seen who wants Cameron to win Best Director, but A Serious Man to win Picture. Have you seen Hurt Locker?

	Here is what the Best Picture nominees SHOULD have been: (500) Days of Summer, Where the Wild Things Are, Crazy Heart, The Messenger, Up, Up in the Air, Inglourious Basterds, District 9, A Serious Man, An Education. Then (500) Days of Summer would win it. I'm sticking to that belief. The Academy got it wrong this year.

	Go "Up" for Best Picture! It really was the best film of the year, in my opinion.

	JohnJF:	Mar 6th, 2010 at 02:06 GMT		1 point
	I completely agree that The Hurt Locker is lacking in the screenplay department, but it's bound to look that way in the breathtaking originality of Avatar. I mean, a movie in which a race comes into contact with a different looking race? Why didn't I think of that?!

	Will any movie ever break the perfect 11 for 11 wins set by LOTR: Return of the King? What an epic movie.

	Got them all! Now I just have to see them all. Haven't seen Avatar yet (I know! I know! I'm the last person!) Hate Hate Hate the 10 nominee thing. Saw Precious, Blind Side, Up, Up in the air and Inglorius Basterds (hated that one).

	No Cinematography nominees?

	hurt locker shouldnt win. from what ive heard, the actions of the military guys is nothing like real life. they act as a team, not make risky individual decisions. that hollywood persona of the "lone ranger" doesnt fly in the army
