What is The Hurt Locker???

To say I am angry and disappointed at this years Oscars will be saying the least. Even if Avatar wasn't gonna win any award at all, what  happened to the Best Picture Award. Most people who saw Avatar in 3D have been dying to go to Pendora... that is saying the least. I am beginning to wonder, what is the criteria that is used to give out these awards. I mean if Slumdog Millionaire could beat The Curious Case of Benjamin Buttons at last years Academy Awards then what are we talking about here. I have not seen The Hurt Locker but come on... I heard NOTHING about the movie. Is this about the controversy that the movie brought?

I don't even know what to say. Personally, I feel Avatar has been robbed. I am not endorsing the movie. I am just being honest and stating a statement of fact.There is no movie at all that was on that list that could have beat Avatar.... It's all good ough... Nothing dey
