4. It's important to show war to the people of this country who want it

all glorified and pretty...

7. I stole this Michael Moore quote from another thred

"
The truth is "The Hurt Locker" is very political. It says the war is stupid and senseless and insane. It makes us consider why we have an army where people actually volunteer to do this. That's why the right wing has attacked the movie. They're not stupid -- they know what Kathryn Bigelow is up to. No one leaves this movie thinking, "Whoopee! Let's keep these wars going another 7 years!"

11. At the same time they portray just about every Iraqi as somebody suspicious.

16. Ignorant? It's about war. It may be anti-war but it's about war. I'm sick of war.

And don't call me ignorant. It's against the rules at DU.

3. No, It is a woman .

Would you say : " It is a boy" if a guy wins ?

you probably didn't mean it though , I know . That doesn't mean I shouldn't point out how it sounds.

6. I wanted it ti be like an old Hollywood Headline...

Believe me I thought about it but this was the way I believed it would be best, in the spirit of old Hollywood.

Plus, I love that she beat out her Ex who left her for a younger woman.

I was glad to see he was happy for her.

13. Seeing as how they were only married two years - '89-'91 - I suspect

that a 'younger woman' didn't have nearly as much to do with it as him just being impossible to live with - the cat's been married 5 times, and 2-4 years is about standard for him.

15. No wonder he has to make block buster movies...

he probably owes a billion in alimony...

8. considering the context i don't think there is anything wrong with it

10. I believe it's a pun/play on the situation. This award brings forth a new life

in a certain kind of way.

As a raging feminist myself, I'd point out that sometimes a bit of thought is good thing before reaching for the feminist easy button.

It's time, indeed...

Wow!

And now for Best Picture!
