'Avatar' vs. 'Up in the Air': The most symbolic Oscar race since 'Forrest Gump' vs. 'Pulp Fiction'

On Academy Awards night, the moment just before the announcement of the Best Picture winner is always, of course, intensely dramatic -- even if it's one of those years when it has become obvious, by the end of the night, which film is going to win (hello The Sting, Gandhi, The Silence of the Lambs, Titanic).
