Just for once I'd like to see Romero think up a title for a zombie flick that doesn't end with the word dead.  ;D

All very valid points. "Best" for me is everything behind the film coming together to be the best it can be. The tech side, creative side, etc. I thought the Hurt Locker was an ok film. It took me 3 sittings to get all the way through it because I found it quite slow so, for me, this was not the "best". But I am but a mere viewer with no film making experience so I guess its not for me to judge.

OK.

What does "best" mean?

What is the point of a motion picture? I always thought that they were designed to entertain folk, in which case the "best" would be the most entertaining; without doubt "Avatar" has entertained more folk than any other motion picture in history.

Are they designed to make folk think? In which case 98.735% of motion pictures are ineligible for awards (including 90+% of previous winners).

Are they designed to promulgate the political view of the maker (in which case Michael Moore should have a crate of Oscars), or the political view of the country? In which case it should be "most representative of the current political whim" rather than "best" - but that seems to explain how Sandra Bullock got hers, based solely on the anti-Obama conservative backlash.

Best Story? Surely not, that is what books are for.

... or are they designed for their peers to admire, in which case "best" may be the film that the academy members most wish that they had made. If the last, then how in the world is the "best" motion picture supposed to be of any interest to anyone outside the academy? I get the distinct impression that with the Oscars, just like most major literary and art prizes, the selection is based on "what do we think that other people think that we should think?", and therefore the votes often go to the stupidest entries instead of the "best".

I like The Hurt Locker, and it's not a bad movie, but in twenty years time people will look back scratching their heads at how such a ground-breaking movie as Avatar got left out.

(Note: I haven't seen Avatar, but I have heard the buzz)

Thanks christ.  I was already completely baffled as to what is the point of Oscars (or any TV/Film awards ceremony) and you have compounded my bewilderment by making less sense of it/them.
