| Is The Hurt Locker a lot better than it looks? All the clips they showed tonight made it look as dull as dishwater. |

I'm glad to see Avatar got the ones it deserved and no more.
Salopian, The Hurt Locker IMDb score is 8, which according to my criteria suggests it's pretty good. I haven't seen any trailers but tend to not trust trailers at all. |

Yep, I'm with you that the I.M.D.B. score is pretty reliable for most films. Hopefully I'll get the chance to catch it then.
I saw Avatar immediately before the awards and so was still buzzing from it, but I think you're probably right.
I wanted Gabourey Sidibe to win, though, despite my reservations about Precious. |

| I thought the Hurt Locker was ordinary actually, so I'm a little taken aback by all the awards fuss that's surrounded it since release. It's not an especially good character portrait, in that the subject it covers has been done a lot, and I didn't find it very exciting because I couldn't give a hoot about the protagonist. His actions were stupid and selfish and seemed to smell of screenwriting for dramatic effect rather than actual real behaviour. See what you think. |

Yup!
Here's my take on it from several page posts ago.

| Well, I have to say I'm glad that Fish Tank won for Outstanding British Film. Not that I have much to go on since I didn't see any of the others, but I did see Fish Tank and thought it was really a very good film - excellent acting from both the two girls, and that scene where Mia dances with her mother - just perfect! |

I really liked Hurt Locker, but as we've seen I'm fairly easily entertained

| My gut feeling is that votes for it were just votes against the war, but I hope I think differently once I see it. |
