What do you think should have won Best Picture this year?

Nominees:
A Serious Man
An Education
Avatar
District 9
Inglourious Basterds
Precious
The Blind Side
The Hurt Locker (the actual winner)
Up
Up In The Air


Despite The Hurt Locker was a great film, I don't think it deserved Best Picture because it wasn't really a film by an individual. It used too much from the current war in Iraq and was more like a tribute to the troops. Could say that about Avatar with the effects with a Pocahontas-like storyline.
The REAL Best Picture, Best Director and Best Original Screenplay winner for me was Quentin Tarantino and Inglourious Basterds because that was more individual and didn't use so much. Yeah, there was only Hitler and World War II but Tarantino uses his own old-school style with his violence, screenplays and characters like he does in Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown. He also ends World War II in his own way and because the film became such a huge success, that is just pure talent!

What do you guys think should have won out of those 10 nominees?

The Hurt Locker was the fair winner in my eyes, though I still havnt watched Inglorious Bastarts.

Thank god it didn't go to District Nine, Avatar, The Blind Side or Up. And as much as I enjoyed Up in the Air I'm not sure that would have been deserving either. Of the nominees I'd say Hurt Locker probably deserved it the most, though An Education or Inglorious Basterds were both strong. Weak crop for best picture of the year though.

Inglourious Basterds and A Serious Man were the only two nominees I REALLY liked. I personally thought Moon was the best English language film of '09.

The Hurt Locker was the most logical choice as far as an entire film was concerned. All though I enjoyed Inglorious Basterds way more than the Hurt Locker I just cant argue against the academies decision. It was the first time since The Departed won best picture that I am ok with the winner.

for me no question, the answer is A Serious Man. the absolute right film for this time in history, when everyone (in America), is running around touting religion as the only true virtue, claiming we're god's gift to the planet, and everything happens for a reason. this film spits in the face of that ideology and smiles.

didn't care much for the Basterds, Tarantino's dialog may be getting a bit stale for me. haven't seen The Hurt Locker, and have no plans to.
