I was too hasty when I wrote that. I double-checked my sources and it should say that Avatar would be the first movie to win best picture without both a screenplay nod PLUS at least one acting nod since Grand Hotel. Thanks for pointing that out!

First of all, as others have mentioned, it's not an "actors movie." That is, unlike Inglourious Basterds or The Hurt Locker, it doesn't have a knock-out ensemble cast (I don't believe this will play well with the actors in the Academy). Second, it did not receive a best screenplay nomination. That would make it the first best picture winner since 1932's Grand Hotel to take home Best Picture without being nominated in this category. Finally, the fact that it is the highest grossing move EVAR, actually hurts its chances rather than helping it. Yes, Titanic won gold, but it was an historical drama not a sci-fi fantasy. Of course it's always possible that this is just wishful thinking. What say you?

Whatever would anger the makers of this film more.
