Apparently, because Transformers 2 has more votes...

I'm just incredulous to that. Cameron's a bigger lock on special effects than Lucas at this point.

That's a no-brainer, since the Academy snubbed Sith for Best Visual Effects!

Avatar is all lockity locked up here.

TF2 and Trek I guess, though it would be awesome if Where The Wild Things Are gets in.

There are some cases of puppeteering work getting in and apparently CGI'ing the faces onto the Jim Henson animatronic creations was incredibly difficult.

Maybe. I think it's going to be viewed as more of an Art Direction/Costume Design film.

The Lovely Bones is totally an unknown factor at this point. The only things I'm sure of are Avatar and Star Trek.

TF2 is definitely not gonna be nominated as it got 19% on RT. Vfx nomination depends on the quality of vfx and the reviews of the movie. TF2 failed in latter category.


I think Star Trek has a very good shot at vfx nomination alongwith District 9! D9 vfx is innovative and fresh. But we still have Where the wild things are, 2012 and Avatar coming out.

I say at the end of the day

1) Avatar
2) Where the Wild things are
3) District 9 or Star Trek

2012 should be nominated as it has some really insane cgi with building crashing, waves etc but it most likely will get a sub 50% on RT.

Poseidon bombed and also had an awful RT score.

they really should change it to five this year. Avatar, Lovely Bones, Transformers 2, 2012, and District 9 would be an awesome group of noms. And more awesome if Stark Trek snuck in over TF2.

If it was 5... I would want Trek over 2012.

That would be it's only way in.

No Star Trek please, its visual effects look as low-budget as Power Rangers.

District 9 deserves a nom here, but I can't recall the academy nominated a low-budget film even if it deserves it (ala sunshine).

Nightmare Before Xmas 18m 1993
The Mask 23m 1994
Babe 30m 1995

I think those three are the lowest in recent memory.
