The Hurt Locker was one of the best movies I have ever seen. It can heart pounding at moments and the film does a really good job in portraying what U.S. soldiers go through in modern war of today. I give it 100% all the way.

Wanted to see The Hurt Locker when it came out. Never had the time to do so. Hopefully there will be at least a small re-release due to the accolades.

I hope so too. It wasn't available anywhere near where I live when it came out, and that drove me nuts. It looks amazing!

I am sort of surprised that Yolande Moreau won for best actress, but it's mostly because I haven't even heard about this movie. This has been a very bad year for women, but on the other hand men ^^ nicely done^^.

The Hurt Locker deserves to win, it's the best film of the year as far as i'm concerned. But Up in the Air was suprisingly good. Much better than Thank You For Smoking and Juno.

But isn't it a bit early to be giving out awards? We still have 2 weeks to go and at least 3 films to debut, The Lovely Bones, Avatar and Sherlock Holmes.

I don't think I can remember pushing as hard for a film to do well in the awards season as I'm pushing for Hurt Locker this year. Way to go, HL! Keep it up!

LMAO @ D9 winning best production design, it looks like they just had a bunch of props left over from the failed halo movie that they used.

I suppose I'll have to "bite the bullet" and go see The Hurt Locker at some point. Even though war movies are so not my thing.

Anyways, nevertheless, it's nice to see a female director garnering such acclaim. Seeing as so few ever receive the full credit they deserve.


P.S. What the funk is "Seraphine"?

Seraphine is actually really good. it's a french film about the life of a painter named Seraphine Louis. it swept the french oscars (cesars) last year but received a very limited u.s release. glad to see it getting some recognition.

I tried to see The Hurt Locker, but it was only limited release and not playing anywhere near me.

I tries to see The Road, but it was only limited release and not playing anywhere near me.

WTF.

Can someone please explain to me why some movies only get a "limited release"?
