“Avatar” is on top of the world at the Oscars.Photo: Official Avatar Movie’s photostreamThe carpet will still be red at the Oscars this Sunday, but there will be a little more green among the nominees.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Leading the way is this year’s blockbuster “Avatar,” James Cameron’s self-proclaimed<\/a> most successful environmental film of all time<\/strong>. Tied with “The Hurt Locker” for most nominations, including Best Picture, “Avatar” is the most popular green-themed film, but don’t let the Nav’i distract you from other eco-ly legit films.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For starters, Tom Philpott’s cinematic sweetheart<\/a>, “Fantastic Mr. Fox” garnered two nominations—Animated Feature Film and Music (Original Score)—although Philpott still claims it was snubbed<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Two films bypassed allegory and dug into unsustainable—and shocking—food practices to gain their nominations for Documentary (Feature). “Food, Inc.<\/a>” takes on the industrial food system in the U.S.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And “The Cove<\/a>” focuses on a brutal for-profit dolphin-killing operation in Japan.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nominations alone are good publicity for these green messages, but a couple golden statues wouldn’t hurt. Green … for the win!<\/p>\n
