The Academy Award and Avatar

"Avatar," nominated in nine categories overall, won three Oscars: for visual effects, art direction and cinematography.

It took a while to find that out, but these categories certainly make sense. I do believe that Avatar should have gotten best picture, not because of how much money it made (I was mistaken, it cost around 260 million to make) but because of how special it was/is. It made me feel the same way I felt when I walked out of the first Star Wars movie, or The Matrix; like the world had somehow changed.
