And, in my opinion, it's a slap in the face to Pixar who gets nominated only when they expand it to 10 movies. Up was a fantastic movie, but so was The Incredibles, Ratatouille, WallE, etc. and they're only recognized once we dilute the category?
Let Cameron have his billions in profit - that's fine, he deserves it because it's a well-made and revolutionary movie, but the oscars aren't the people's choice awards. We don't nominate a Twilight, Transformers, Pirates of the Caribbean, Spiderman, etc. just because a million people saw it. Heck, why not nominate a hilarious comedy like The Hangover?
Ok. I'm done. lol.
I created the piano key necktie!

I believe that I recall someone once telling a reporter outside of the movies that Spiderman made him proud to be an American - or something like that. Seriously, you don't think it merited a best picture nomination? ;)
I agree, I think people just love Cameron's work because it was Cameron's. I wish things would change in the future.

Check this out. It shows how Avatar and Pocahontas are basically the same movie. Pretty funny.
I do agree agree with you that Avatar was an enjoyable movie to watch but it was not a best picture for me too. But well, maybe they have their own reasons for it. Thanks!
