  1. Star Trek over Avatar for Visual Effects?

    I mean had Avatar not been made this year I'd probably pick Star Trek too--but considering the amount of innovation...

  3. Waltz seems to be just flying away with the prizes doesn't he...

  4. Seems to me it's wins like these that are so vital to Renner locking down a nomination.

    Doesn't seem to be nearly enough momentum for more than a nom, though.

  5. I think Clooney and Bridges have the best chance, though if he gets in, he could be an upset pick, though don't bet on it.
