WINNER:受伤的储物柜
(runner up: sadly, we shall never know)
This is the first Iraq War film to win a Best Picture nomination (I assume we'll have more... wars live on forever in the movies) and the lowest grossing Best Picture winner ever with just over $12 million in the bank at the end of its threatrical run. It's one of only 8 films directed by a woman to received a Best Picture nomination and the first to win.
读者的选择(in order):受伤的储物柜(followed by:Inglourious Basterds,Avatar, Up in the Air, Precious, UP,一个认真的人，一个教育，第9区和The Blind Side)
NATHANIEL'S CHOICE (in order):受伤的储物柜(followed by:头像，珍贵，巧妙的basterds，在空中，向上，一个认真的人，一个教育，第9区和The Blind Side). My actual best picture ballot这里。

Nomination DayIn the end, despite all the excited about doubling the nominations, we basically ended up where we always end up: a mix of message movies, epics, dramas and war films. Same as it ever was even if some of it them took on slightly different shapes, walking and talking all funny like. Even if we'd stay with a five-wide best picture race, you still would've had your most populist lineup since at least 2003, with box office blockbusters (Avatar) big hits (Basterds）和中等大小的总（Up in the Air, Precious) with only one film of the scale the media likes to cry "elitism" about when they win big awards (伤害储物柜) Things that got AMPAS all hot and bothered this year:the color blue (Avatar, Up, Up in the Air），文盲（Precious, Blind Side, Basterds), race (Avatar, Blind Side, District 9, Precious), thinly disquised allegories (Avatar, District 9,受伤的储物柜), young girls coming-of-age (An Education, Precious），存在危机（A Serious Man, Up in the Air）和战争（受伤的储物柜，basterds) Things that AMPAS dated but couldn't commit to:没有明星外星人，桑德拉·布洛克或文盲黑人孩子的体育或竞赛戏剧（Invictus), stage bound musicals about cinema (Nine) 使Ampas关闭的东西：诗歌 （Bright Star), man-boy comedies (500 Days of Summer, The Hangover) the apocalypse (这条路) children with wild visual imaginations (野外的东西在哪里，可爱的骨头) 有关奥斯卡赛的更多信息 |
