James Cameron has had enough victories, including Titanic ridiculously beating the masterpiece that was LA Confidential back in 1997, so even those who like his movies can appreciate this little humbling. Did you see his face when the victorious Avatar techies thanked him profusely? Fucking entitlement defined. So to see Oscar pick the right movie certainly was a pleasing and redeeming sight to see. The whole thing was otherwise by the book, and everyone who was expected to win won, with the mini surprise of best adapted screenplay going to Precious. And behalf of everyone who had to suffer through all the crushing hype Avatar has received and had justly punctured yesterday... This day is our validation (until someone reminds us of Avatar's 1.5 billion worldwide, anyway).Best Picture: The Hurt Locker (yeah)
