This thread is full of cynicism and the worst kind of film discussion. I don't know what else to say or do.
Ignore it and walk away like I have, you'll be much better for it.
This thread disheartens me.
I dont know why everyone is getting worked up that a few of us are having a discussion on oscar politics and which films are likely to win.
It seems that everyone who finds the thread offensive is taking it as some kind of insult to Avatar (I assume since it is all Avatar fans that seem to find it offensive).
I know I, and I dont think anyone else, are commenting on the quality of Avatar. We are simply having a debate on if/how it is possible to predict the winners based on past indicators.
My thinking it will not win has nothing to do with my feelings about the film (which for the record I still like). It is simply my reading of Oscar politics.
I understand that there have been some heated discussions on this thread, but its no worse than what we've seen before. If I can't talk about the Oscars here, where can I?
