Every year I want to ask this about the GGs-- "who cares?"
The HFPA is universally mocked as a corrupt disreputable bunch of weasels pandering for whatever goodies and cheesy photo ops they can squeeze from desperate studios and prodcos, and their "high bidders" ERRR "winners" in at least half cataegorie susually provoke a day-after "WTF?" from those reporters punished to cover the results of the sad event.
What part am I getting wrong?

I don't comprehend how anyone could think Avatar is a better film than The Hurt Locker.
GGs may be a scam, but they are a scam that all of the stars turn out for. And what's a scam? You know all of those wreaths on film adverts that say they won some film festival somewhere? I've been on film fest juries - do you really want *me* giving films awards? Me and a couple of actors and a film critic? EVERY award is a scam. The Oscars are a scam - people vote for movies they haven't seen.
But I posted that because, you know, I'm a lazy ass and I needed to post something so that it would look like I was working.
HURT vs. AVATAR...
And the protag's emotional journey in HURT was? His emotional conflict was? How much time was spent actually exploring the protag's character in HURT? We see the exterior of the characters, but never really get under their skin.
HURT LOCKER is porn.
(but I like porn... especially the suspense kind.)
(Funny that Cameron and Bigelow used to be married)
