Sorry

But the Hurt Locker proves the academy only has taste in their mouths.

The film disgusted me. It made a hero out of a compulsive addictive soldier who was an Adrenalin Junkie???!!!

And the Academy further proved their incompetence by nominating “Inglorious Bastards” and “District 9”....did you actually watch D9???

Agreed. Bigelow is a class act.

We were all impressed.

(And so happy Cameron was snubbed.)

Sandra did acknowledge Jessie, just didn’t say his name. When she was talking about her mother’s guidance, etc., said that was the reason she ended up with him (pointed the Oscar towards him in the audience) and ended up with the Oscar.

So, yes, she did acknowledge her husband. Watch the replay on youtube.

While it was felt by the grander critics, such as A. O. Scott, of The New York Times, that Bullock can act perfectly well at times, this particular film was given a thumbs down for its retrograde content.

Bullock stars as a rich Southern belle who takes in a homeless black teenager who then becomes a star American-football player, thanks to her good, Christian encouragement.

The film garnered atrocious reviews, and massive audiences in red-state multiplexes. It is still to be released in Britain. Bullock’s character was compared — with her tight white pencil skirts, and white Christian values — to Sarah Palin and became a mascot for the Tea Party Republicans.

For the most part about as apolitical an Oscars than I could recall.

I know. I kinda miss the old Oscars when presenters and winners would show up half inebriated and deliver rambling, incoherent diatribes against whatever injustice was in fashion. At least there's be something to talk about the next day.

Lately, awards shows have been too sober and professional (aka boring).

Evidentally she is every bit as liberal as her husband, I found this on Wiki:

In 2005, Amis founded MUSE Elementary, a Reggio-inspired, independent, non-profit school in the Topanga, California area of Los Angeles serving the need for progressive and individualized education touching lives as deeply as possible, both locally and globally.

Cameron was married to Bigelow twenty years ago.

I’ve seen her in a couple movies but it wasn’t until I studied her face that I actually recognized her.

I thought it was an outstanding movie and enjoyed it thoroughly... personally I don’t give a rip what critics have to say, 9 times out if 10 if they hate a movie I enjoy it.
