I hope Avatar doesn't win. Visually magnificent but that alone shouldn't be what Best Picture is about. Avatar was basically a sci-fi remake of Dances With Wolves, only without the characterisation, more predictable and with clunky dialogue. Don't get me wrong, it was worth the money to see the visuals but surely there are better movies from this year.
One thing's for sure, after Avatar and District 9 I have never felt so much sympathy for aliens. We really should treat them better.
