I think the Oscars should award projects made for the art, leaving out purely commercial endeavors. In my opinion, projects like Avatar where there's a whole franchise in the pipeline should be ignored by the Oscars. Surely there are talented people working on the project, but it is purely a commercial endeavor, not art in the sense I would normally understand it.
