I hate watching movies after the buzz because you're more likely to feel let down if it's not as fantastic as everyone said. I don't think that was what happened in this case.

I was so thrilled to hear a female won best Director but I'm very disappointed now I've seen the film.

Did the Academy blindfold themselves and throw darts at the wall to choose best picture? Inglorious Basterds, District 9 and even the uber-commercial Avatar are far, far better than this film. Pityingly I haven't seen the other nominated films.

There was nothing original, exciting, different, entertaining about this movie.

I found it tiresome, boring and I was unable to connect emotionally with any character. Sloppy dialogue, lazy film-making. It became almost painful to watch.

Maybe the Academy thought giving this film a bunch of Oscars was their own way of fighting terrorism without leaving the country.

They only succeeded in reducing the value of the awards.

Thank you.
