It’s perhaps the most anticipated head-to-head competition in Oscar history.
Kathryn Bigelow’s low-budget indie war film, “The Hurt Locker,” and James Cameron’s 3D mega-blockbuster “Avatar,” both nominated for nine Oscars Tuesday, are going directly against one another for Director and Best Picture, among other categories.
Oh, and of course, Bigelow and Cameron used to be married.
Which film is going to win the big Best Picture prize on March 7?
TheWrap breaks down the competition.

The film, which is Perry's first to be based on non-original material, will have a cast of all female actors.

Me and the hubby made a date, to see I can do bad all by myself. As I prepared to watched this movie. I was surrounded by the united nations of people, not just my own ethnicity. The shock was the elderly White couple that entered the theater and sat next to me and my husband. Some of every play and movie that Tyler Perry has created, we all can relate to. I watched my hubby cry, as I reflected on my own family problems. I felt ashamed at the way I treated a lot of the problems in my family. I erased family members as soap operas do. I have spoken to a co-worker native to Africa and felt compelled to explain the transition of past, present and future African-Americans, in a defensive manner. After seeing this movie I felt like a hypocrite as I spoke of something I know not much about. This movie has bits of skeletons in it that I have yet let out of my closet. I am still trying to face my past which seems to dictate my future. It is very therapeutic for me to see Mr. Tyler's movie, although I feel he has x-ray glasses to the soul of Black family problems today and has turned many painful events that we have gone through as a visual experience to many that only see our skin color. You now get to see our souls. Keep up the good work Mr. Tyler Perry.

I saw this as a high school junior on Broadway. I know that was a long time ago but I don't remember Madea being in this play.
C'mon, you were thinking the same thing.
