Is James Cameron Avatar curse or praise in Oscars

I saw much anticipated $400 million budget James Cameron’s ‘Avatar’ few days before with one of my friend at Crystal Palm in Jaipur. Believe me every minute was worth it after 10 years of hard work and head work by James making this movie. It’s been the most enraptured, entertaining and thrilling cinematic experience of my lifetime. Simply put, it’s visually spellbinding.

This 3d sci-fi flick from James Cameron had it all, a huge spending on making (would say highest budget) and to the publicity of the movie, even more-than-expected starting in the box office. But I am not here to share my reviews about the movie, I am thinking is there any chance that ‘Avatar’ beat the Oscar curse against sci-fi flicks or it’s only the 3D extravaganza, biggest movie of the year, criticisms, fans, box office collections, golden globe nominations!

Here is the news for all, it has been nominated for 9 categories in the Oscars till so far according to the sources. The categories include best picture, best director, visual effects, film editing, art direction, sound mixing, sound editing, music (score) and music (song). Some sources also assumed that there is a chance that actress (Sigourney Weaver) may get nominated in the best supporting actress for her role as the scientist.  Though ‘Avatar’ stands way behind the 14-Oscar winner Titanic, but it would be honor for the film as most of the fantasy films don’t find a place at the top in the Oscars.

But that’s the old story, this time many movie reviewers believe that ‘Avatar’ is one of the serious contenders for the ‘Best picture’  in the Oscars. Now it’s time to wait for 7th March 2010 where Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin host the 82nd annual Academy Awards and the whole world will see whether Oscar nominates ‘Avatar’ for best movie of 2009!

Let us all wish James Cameron ‘Avatar’ and the entire crew best of luck..

  1. I loved the movie but I don’t know if it will get the critical acclaim it deserves. Arguably the storyline was thin and I think that the judges will be reluctant to give it any awards just on the basis of speciial effects…

  2. Sorry unless it is the special effects award… in which case I think that without any doubt it will win… hands down…

  18. Could a movie that is also viewable in 3D win an Academy Award? Has this ever happened before?

  19. The 3D one is amazing and im sure it will grab the oscars!! I like the thought about a different planet and getting into an avatar concept. Its definitely deserves a 5*. Thanks for sharing your thoughts in this post. Look forward to future posts.

  23. I have not seen Avatar as yet, but a lot of people are really raving about its technical mastery rather that storyline or emotional connect. This makes it a great tech wonder not sure if it makes it a complete movie twin best pic award at oscars

    • I agreed Aditya that movie is a bit ‘nice and easy going’ story but strongly far more ahead than anyone in technical aspects. I’m certain that if it doesn’t stay at 100% it won’t drop below 90%. While I’m not sure it will be the game changer but I am positive it will entertain all viewers.

    Is it rated for Children? I’m sure there will be more movies of this type in the years to come.

  28. I personally didn’t like this movie. Story sucked.

  29. This was an awesome movie. Worth every penny and worth watching many more times. I think it will pave the way for more movies like it. I think it was a very unique movie, like nothing I’ve ever seen comes close. great post keep them coming.

  30. recently i saw AVATAR Finally James Cameroon dream comes true in ‘Avatar’. Excellent movie never dreamed before.

    Actually Jim said over and over again that Avatar involves animation but it is not an ‘animated film’. It is captured performance. Every act is done by a real person which is then preserved onto their digital selves. So obviously, it should not be considered as an animated film. Moreover, it is saddening to learn the fact that Oscars have prejudices for some types of films. Anyway, Avatar *IS* one of the great movies till date. No doubt about that.
    .-= Jal´s last blog ..Upload photos and videos to Facebook directly from Windows Live Photo Gallery =-.

    • Surely Avatar is not a animated movie and even in the official listing, its not tagged as animated movie. As i loved this movie too and also big fan of this movie,so I pray Avatar defeat the curse against such type of films in Oscars.

  32. it certainly was the best film i have seen is so long. It was quite a long movie but I loved every minute of it.
    Such a nice story to it also

  33. It was an alright movie, not the best.

  34. Yes, You are Right. it’s a great movie. I like its special effect.

  35. It was a decent movie, but definitely not oscar worthy.
