"Avatar" unseats "Titanic"!
Back in the day, it was George Lucas and Steven Spielberg who changed top box office positions a few times with movies like "The Empire Strikes Back" and "E.T.". Now, James Cameron is the sole 'King of the World'...TIMES TWO! And the amazing thing is "Avatar" has ONLY been in release for six weeks...SIX WEEKS! I smell Best Picture at the Oscars!Congratulations not only to James Cameron, but his incredible team of artists who brought the amazing world of Pandora to life! Once again, like after "Terminator 2" and "Titanic", the movies will never be the same.

You are probably right, but I do NOT think it deserves the Oscar.
Certainly it's a story that's been done before in some way, shape, or form. The soldier whose sent in as a spy who realizes what he's doing is wrong and joins forces with the people he was suppose to bring down to fight the people who sent him in.
However, the Academy LOVES spectacle with heart. That's one of the reasons I think this is going to win. On a side note, I think "District 9" should also be reeling in some gold. Another great movie that was sci-fi with a lot of emotion and depth.
