The Hurt Locker really affected me and I was happy that it won best picture, but in my heart I was rooting for Basterds.

I know it's like, sacrilege to say anything against Hurt Locker, but I personally enjoyed and was moved by this movie far more, and also think it was more ambitious. I wish it had received more recognition during the awards season because it was so good. Also, I have to say, even if you worry about gratuitous violence, I do think the Kill Bill movies are worth watching. I didn't think they'd be my cup of tea, but I was blown away by the cinematics and storytelling. Just something to consider!
