Why ‘Avatar’ Failed to Win Oscars?

The 2010 Oscar Awards have been distributed and we have witnessed a David-Goliath battle at the podium of Kodak Theatre in Hollywood. In this David-Goliath battle, an underdog movie “The Hurt Locker” outshined the most appreciated and highest earning movie of the year “Avatar”.
Though Oscar history has been written but still ‘Avatar’ fans are thinking why the movie failed to get the honor, what was expected?
The major reason behind “Avatar’s failure is the story! It is commonly seen that reality has always an edge over fantasy at Oscar. Where ‘Hurt’ was a real life drama of the life of bomb defusing squad, “Avatar” was imagery story of relations between human and alien race Navi.
The other reason can be the performances of the actors! Between both the movies there was vast difference of live performance and digitally induced performance. Though audience loved the latest innovative idea of James Cameron but the jury of Oscar still believes in old school of expression packed performance which was clearly won by Kathryn Bigelow’s movie.

According to some people “Avatar” failed to stimulate or stir the hearts of audiences. At this front “The Hurt Locker” not only shakes the hearts of people but makes them cry where as Avatar only amazed audience with its grandeur. And what else the Oscar jury wants! It satisfied the basic rule of being a passionate film. That is why “The Hurt Locker” was selected over “Avatar”.
Altogether, we can say that the massive and billion grossing movie “Avatar” failed to impress the traditional Oscar jury members, that’s all!
