James Cameron deserved the best director award, and his film Avatar deserved the Best Picture award.
What pissed me off even further, was that both times when Hurt Locker won the award, Kathryn Bigelow gave a shout out to all of the men and women in uniforms that are fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan to protect America. Once was enough, but she had to reiterate it again as if one shout out was not enough. She seems to be a fan of nationalism, while James Cameron is the exact opposite.
Not sure why she can't say what she wants.
I'll say it again. Thanks to all the men and women in uniforms who are fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. Thanks a million.
If you were living during the time of Vietnam, would you say the same about the troops in Vietnam? Or what about when Julius Caesar was invading Gaul. And so on.
