Yea, and I love that it was Cameron's ex-wife that won the Oscar for Best Picture ! Sweet revenge to all those morons who thought Avatar was more than a pocahontas movie with more glitz. It is like watching a bad TV series with some cool effectsd (which hhave been done before - see the Imax movie about the ocean in 3D at an Imax theatre - much more impressive, because it is real and even though it is way older.)
