...but don't quit your day job.

When it comes to movies or music, just let someone else talk. You don't understand them.

True, I was leaning more toward Precious, but Hurt Locker was worthy.

As far as directing, Bigelow got wonderful performances out of her actors, didn't "overexplain" anything, and excells in getting the right POV for a shot - no wasted frames, no wasted action.

Much as I like Cameron, anyone can get an animated figure to act the way it wants.

Inglourious Basterds lost because it didn't deserve to win. Tarantino needs to cut back on the flowery expositions his characters emote at every turn. HE SHOULD have won for Jackie Brown, but no - not I.B. It was a fun romp, enjoyed the hell out of it, but Hurt Locker was definitely the more memorable of the two.

Bit if she DID win "because she was a woman," SO WHAT? The Academy is a closed group of people and occasionally they vote for odd reasons. Robert Begnini? Really?

Hey, It's show BUSINESS and finally recognizing a woman as Best Director is good business. At least it wasn't for some Sense & Sensibility piece of fluff...
