I also figure thats why people hate on the film so much. I mean seriously, what the hell is wrong with Avatar? I would love to see it win Best Picture instead of typical Oscar bait movies like Precious. Maybe Avatar isn't perfect but its still an accomplished film and very entertaining. And other than the nitpickers on the internet everyone I have met said it was amazing.

Now you lot can go ahead and tell me that the story sucked. Blah blah blah....
Well you kind of answered your own question about why some people don't like the film at the end there. I'd rather Precious doesn't win (and it won't) either, but I'd rather something like Up or The Hurt Locker or Up in the Air (or the shamefully overlooked Moon) did.

Inglorious Basterds will win Best Supporting Actor and possibly the screenplay award too.
