I've not seen The Hurt Locker but it's on my list.
I was a little disappointed to hear a report on NPR from a soldier who said it was completely glamorized. I thought it was supposed to be a true to life attempt at showing us real war and instead he said the danger and the explosions were completely Hollywood. I'll have to wait till I see it of course, but that kinda kicks a movie out of best picture status for me.
Avatar had no business even getting nominated for that.
