And the winner is....

This is a literature class right? In fact the contents and purpose of this very blog dedicated to literature and film, depicting human stories, fantasies, hidden desires, and issues. Most importantly it is dedicated to art of media, literature, and film correlation of all the above (with emphasis in the works of the great Woody Allen). Well what would woody say to me if I asked him “who should the best picture winner at the 2010 academy awards should be”? The film “The Hurt Locker” WON THE AWARD! The film based on a group of bomb disarming American militants in Iraq. How is this film synonymous with the requirements pertaining to great art works? In Woody’s personal film on such issues as American intervention in war and foreign country politics, and media representation (Bananas) The tradgie-comedy device is used. The notion of commentary on the “human condition” has been the basis for Art. To the point of this rant (reason for blog): “District 9 “should have won the Oscar for best film, or even “Avatar”. Both based on Alien-human relations which were monotones for apartheid in South Africa, and the war for oil. Also some distinctions of the Mexican/American immigration situation can be concluded from the design of both films. Both films convey progression of race, class, and economical evolution. Not only did both films deliver on the stated above but “District 9” in particular was humorous. Both the winning films I hoped for had love stories. I will not dive further into this. The people will reach their conclusion. So what would Allen say? What do you say? I say “Fucking Academy of Motion picture Arts What the Fuck is wrong with yall, why did you choose The Hurt Locker”?
