SHE DID IT!!! Hurt Locker and Kathyrn Bigelow defeats Avatar and James Cameron for the coveted Oscars. David slays Goliath. Unbelievable!!!
It was an authentic Hollywood script last night played in front of an international TV audience where fiction and fantasy became instant reality. In movies, conflicts and achievements of the heart and soul played by real actors will always conquer the technical brilliance but heartlessness of the fake computer theatrics. In light of this movie-making contrast, two previous Oscar examples for Best Picture pitting human story v. sci-fi/computer story come to mind: Ghandi over ET and Annie Hall over Star Wars. Actors emote. Computers calculate. The public will always feel the difference. And feelings are what the Academy always look for. Bravo to all the winners and to all those nominated. It was fun to watch.
