My issue with both is they are not original, they are basically the same movie with changes, continuations of a previous movie. No exceptional acting was needed in either. Just because a film makes big bucks doesn't make it a Best Picture quality film.Honestly, Maverick probably shouldn't be nominated. I saw it (well, kind ahalf-watched it) at a friends house, and it's...well, it's kinda dumb. I mean, I get it as a crowd-pleaser, a Star Wars type of movie (surprisingly too much like STar Wars actually), and it's fine on that level. If I could stand seeing Tom Cruise on screen for even a second I'd probably even like it. I think the cinematography is really it's only truly outstanding trait though.
Avatar is more complicated. It's a deeper movie with more to say, but also it just pushes cinema to it's technical limits. It is groundbreaking in that regard and deserves recognition for that. Best Picture might also be a stretch though. I would almost think it would have made more sense ot have nominated Cameron for Best Director as what he did is nothing short of phenomonal, but at the end of the day it's still a big, loud, blockbuster movie - not that that's a bad thing, but it's not really a "Best Picture" thing. This is probably why it won't win either.
Never watched the Oscars, aren't they on in the middle of the night?

I would say stick with it. I was bawling my eyes out at the end.Maverick
