Bravo! I think the right film won.

Exactly why it won...
I love the movie Saving Private Ryan, i love Black Hawk Down, but neither illustrate in any detail what is going on in the minds of the soldier the way that hurt locker seems to with its lead character.
I wouldn't characterize this as an anti war movie in the least.. did you guys even watch the whole thing? Just a well described story of a soldier who isn't made out to be an over the top perfect hero like so many other movies seem to be filled with.
