Avatar is overrated. It doesn't diserve a billion dollars let alone an Oscar.

I agree with all your choices, both who will and who should win.

Avatar? Really? I'd say the visual effects Oscar is the highest one it deserves.

Am I reading this right? You think Princess and the Frog is a better animated film than UP? But UP is the Best Movie of the Year?

Huh?

Princess and Frog isnt nominated for Best Pic. If it were he wouldve chosen it.
