As you can read from the link, the Hurt Locker has won 6 Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director, versus Avatar, which won 3 Oscars, including best visual effects. Needless to say, I support this decision and think that the Hurt Locker deserved to win. I feel that Avatar is more of a film about special effects and a detailed but cliched fantasy world. The Hurt Locker, on the other hand, is a film about real people and the stresses of the hostile environment in Iraq, which is further amplified by the fact that the film focuses on an Explosive Ordnance Disposal unit, and being in one, as can be seen from the film, is a stressful job to say the least. I'm happy for the Hurt Locker and Kathryn Bigelow, but agree that Avatar deserved Best Visual Effects.

Another award that I feel was deserved was Christoph Waltz winning Best Supporting Actor, for his talented, funny and overall flawless performance in Inglourious Basterds,
