The lack of buildup was probably because throughout the ceremony they were announcing the nominees with clips. Though it still felt rushed lol. I haven't seen several of the nominees this year, but I will eventually.
Well that it. I am very glad that The Hurt Locker won best picture and a few other awards.:) Kinda sad through that Inglorious Bastards didn't get that many awards.

Either they were trying to rush or Tom Hanks was doing it wrong :P They already presented the nominees throughout the show, there was no need to go on some big thing again.
First of all, :lol: at the people that thought Avatar was a "lock."
I thought the show was pretty damn boring. A few jokes here and there. I can't believe they actually went through with Sandra Bullock. Carey Mulligan deserved that one. Of course, the foreign film category was a surprise, like always. It was worth watching for Kathryn Bigelow's win. She totally deserved that award.

It was you! I totally told you "El Secreto de Sus Ojos" would win! 8) (as long as Oscar voters saw the movie, which I'm glad they did)

a lock?! :lol: The only lock I'd say for Avatar was visual effects and cinematography. I was expecting Sandra to win, but I can't really say anything about it... :/
I was sure that Best Picture and Best Director were going to either Avatar or The Hurt Locker, but I was sort of surprised. I sort of expected one of those awards to go to Cameron/Avatar.
[QUOTE="Jazz_Fan"]As much as I am glad James didn't win, I actually really wanted to see what kind of Ego-filled speech he would give. :Pmartialbullet
He would have flipped his ex-wife off and said "**** you!" :lol: Okay, no, but still.... "I'm on top of the world!!!!! And my ex wife is not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The only award I was sure they'd get was Best Supporting Actor, and they did get that. Great role in that movie.

I personally thought Up should of won, personally. I guess the Hurt Locker is a good pick for best picture, as long as Avatar didnt win Im a little disappointed District 9 didnt win anything though but oh well

As soon as it won, I was like, "Samurai will be happy!"
Once again the academy and there politics for best picture and best director :roll:

If it had anything to do with "politics", then The Hurt Locker would have lost. Considering the fact that it's the lowest grossing film to ever win and the producer actually broke the rules, telling them to vote for the right film.
I'm disappointed that District 9 didn't get anything. I don't have much to say about The Hurt Locker since I haven't seen it, but I moved it up in my Queue on Netflix to see what the fuss is about.
If betted money on the winners, I would be rich right now. All the high profile nominees that won were expected, for me. There were so many tv shows that I watched that gave predictions, that it became obvious who were going to win. I need to check out those short flims though, they look very interesting.

District 9 didn't get any recognition... In the beginning Steve Martin and him were going over most of the movie that were nominated for best picture and skipped district 9.
