 Which of the ten Best Picture nominees should win?
It doesn't matter if this is realistic or not. If it was up to you, which of the ten nominees would you go for?
My vote would go to The Hurt Locker (so there's a good chance I'll actually be satisfied with this year's result!).
BTW, the nominees (once again) are:
Avatar The Blind Side District 9 An Education The Hurt Locker Inglourious Basterds Up Up in the Air Precious A Serious Man

Up in the Air should win. Avatar or The Hurt Locker will win.

 Re: Which of the ten Best Picture nominees should win?
I liked Hurt Locker but the movie which I go for will be Avatar because after few years from now I will be seeing Avatar and would forget about Hurt Locker.

An Education. Followed by Inglorious Basterds. Followed by Avatar. The Hurt Locker is among the bottom feeders.

 Re: Which of the ten Best Picture nominees should win?
Without having seen Up in the Air, Precious, Blind Sinde, An Education and A Serious Man I'll say either Avatar or Hurt Locker.

 Re: Which of the ten Best Picture nominees should win?
Without having seen half of the nominees, it's District 9, followed by Avatar, then Hurt Locker. Basterds and Up don't deserve to be nominated, at all.

 Re: Which of the ten Best Picture nominees should win?
I don't know... I just can't help but think that they're going to give BP to Avatar. No matter how hard I hope for The Hurt Locker, they're going to give it to the big movie.

 Re: Which of the ten Best Picture nominees should win?
Inglourious Basterds, A Serious Man and Up in the Air are my 1-2-3 of the year. Hurt Locker, Up and Avatar are my 5-7-8.
Needless to say, I'm happy with most of the contenders here.

 Re: Which of the ten Best Picture nominees should win?
Its between Avatar and The Hurt Locker.
With TBS getting nominated, I think the Oscars are now going mainstream.
There will be a lot of inner politics going on for the next month...

 Re: Which of the ten Best Picture nominees should win?
Avatar should win.
Its a film that will be remembered for all time.
No one will remember most of the other films in 2-3 years time.
