I never heard of the Hurt Locker before last night...

I liked the tribute sung by James Taylor and John Hughes
 like the red-carpet and acceptance speeches...

Kudos to Monique,  Kathy Bigelow & Jeff Bridges ...

The Hurt Locker is one of many movies that came out at the wrong time.  It was a low budget war picture that for some reason came out in the middle of the Summer.  I think it should have came out after the Summer but before the Winter break so it would have a better chance of finding a audience.  It is the lowest grossing Best Picture winner ever.  I hope it finds a audience on dvd because it is a spectacular film.

Thanks I will be sure to check it out.
but it just blew me away...Woody Harrelson was up and I knew it but didn't connect the film he was up for

duh?

I just thought Avatar the big budgeted blockbuster was going to sweep the night it blew me away when the Hurt Locker took the major awards.  I wub independent films and when David kicks Golieth's bum its even better

...it suprised the heck out of me that a low budget film had equal chance with Avatar

I am a huge Quentin Tarantino fan and I wanted Inglorius B. to win more...

I am still in heaven with the Hurt Locker winning. I was so peeved when the Golden Globes gave the award to Avatar, and even more when the Best Director went to James Cameron.  Thanks to the Academy for making me a believer in people knowing a good film from a good hype.  While Avatar broke tons of records it was a weak story.

Kudos to Kathryn Bigelow for making an amazing movie.

 The hurt locker is a horrible piece of junk.  Anyone who has been near Iraq knows this is pure defamation of the military and is surely a "MUST SEE" movie in White House circles.  This movie makes the US Military appear clueless and full of mental midgets. . . .

The director of this movie could not have done more harm to the US military if she had tried. .. .it is clear, she tried very hard.
