First off, the Oscars are nothing more than a Beauty Pageant. Rarely does anything of substance every actually win and it's never the directors best movie. Just look what Martin Scorsese created before finally winning his Oscar for that comic book Jack Nicholson Contraption.
That being said, anyone who gives Avatar anything but a nod for anything besides 3d effects knows nothing about movies whatsoever. What about that movie was superior to anything except the 3d and the box office sales? the script? the acting? the direction? Even though I enjoyed the movie, it was probably in the bottom tier of Cameron's work.
Ever since they gave it to Pulp Fiction for screenplay because they ignored Reservoir Dogs and the fans loved it, the Oscars have been nothing but industry politics and a way for them to pay back their guilt for ignoring people so they don't burn bridges.
