If any film was over-hyped by the media it was Blind Side. If anyone else (with the exception of Michael Bay) had directed this film they still would have won.

I think that the fact Katheryn Bigelow directed it is an afterthought - not something that changes the experience of the film. If you went into the film not knowing who directed it, like most of America does, and found out afterwards that it was a woman, I think it says more about our preconceived notions on female directors than it does about the actual film.

This movie had no right taking the screenplay award, let alone best picture. And what the hell is Jeremy Renner getting nominated for this? This was a decent film with a handful of powerful moments. Nothing more. Over-hyped and the media helped this win the grand prize. Frankly, I was a bit bored during it. I am convinced – if a male directed this movie, it would never have won the Oscar.
