My thinking: Avatar Star Trek 2012 alt: Transformers 2, District 9 The Lovely Bone missed completely. |

I'm thinking Avatar Star Trek District 9 Avatar will win in what is the greatest mortal lock in the history of the category. |

For the visual effects category, it sure as hell is. The one constant in all the early reviews is that the cgi is photoreal and quite a leap beyond anything before it. ROTK didn't even have better effects than Two Towers. |

But Transformers was also a 100% lock and see what happened. |

Yet everyone knew it would win after it was supposed to win BP and after two predecessors won Best Visual Effects and also after the competition in 2003 was pretty weak. As I said you don't get a bigger lock than 100% and ROTK's win in that category was absolutely assured, so... |

I think Star Trek still has a great shot. The visuals carried that movie. |

It's easily as ahead of the other stuff out this year as Jurassic Park was of its competition. |

Oh and BTW where did you see Avatar so early? |

Therefore my perspective on your lack of perspective is probably irrelevant. |

Anyone who saw Avatar Day should know that Avatar has this in the bag. |

That's why you shouldn't be telling others to see Avatar first as long as you haven't seen it yourself : ) I assume most here saw that preview as well, so... |

I saw enough to know Lecter, and I'm pretty sure only a handful of people here saw the preview on Avatar Day. If most had seen it, there would be no one disagreeing with me. |
