You anti-semantic bastard!

Ozymandias:
Everything in Avatar was done with cameras then CGI.

So there.

RallyMonkey:
So was A Scanner Darkly, but I sure as hell wouldn't give it a cinematography award.

They are, actually. The public doesn't choose winners, members of the Academy do, and they're people who work in the film business.

E. Spaceman:
While there is certainly a financial aspect I think you are overemphasising it. Just to name a reason and to keep it on topic, it makes no financial sense to have The Hurt Locker trounce Avatar; Avatar is a proven money maker while THH barely recouped during its theatrical run and has not become a smash hit after winning. Also keep in mind that the largest group of voters in the academy are actors themselves.
