All these awards are amazing!

[RAMA]

I KNOW many of these awards are political...its who you know and who knows you...but regardless, I NEVER expected this much attention from both the audience (People's Choice) and the industry...right down the line, each technical creative area has received a nomination, and although it probably won't win most of these, STXI getting nominated is really a pretty amazing thing for this little cult franchise that until recently was pronounced DOA.

If STXI gets a major Oscar nod, it may get a boost in disc sales, but I predict a much bigger opening for the sequel!

I think if Trek XI gets a oscar that would be amazing

 

[shapeshifter]

If it gets a major Oscar nod it may return to theaters!

 

[cwnorma]

...and we would almost certainly get more than just movies.

Not an Oscar, but here's another award, this one for the home video release:

Star Trek the home video release of the year + Blu-ray still Top 10

Paramount Home Entertainment’s release of JJ Abrams Star Trek on DVD and Blu-ray came out in November and was a hit with the fans and critics. Now The DEG: Digital Entertainment Group Awards has deemed it the best theatrical title of the year. The DEG also awarded a Trek vet, as Ron Moore’s Battlestar Galactica Complete Series won the TV Title of the year award. The full list is at homemediamagazine.com.

Wow, another WIN! BUT BSG ugh..

Star Trek won't win an Oscar, there's some serious competition out there in all the categories it might have a chance in.

I expect 1 or maaaybe 2 Oscar nominations but that's it.

Yeah, it will probably get 3-4 nominations, but won't win any. All the technical categories will be swept by Avatar, just as Cameron's Titanic did 12 years ago.

 

[Hyperspace05]

A note to the original poster... Star Trek has received lots of NOMINATIONS. Not awards. (although there has been one or two, I suppose) But there is a difference.

For those interested, the Critic's Choice Awards are tonight on VH1.

 

[I am not Spock]

Trek lucked out at both the Critics Choice and the Globes. I doubt it will win any Oscars now

For anyone interested.. the latest sales figures for the DVD+BluRay in the U.S. put it at around 7-8 million units sold as of the end of 2009.

I don't have a public source for this, but anyone who has access to that particular information can confirm its accuracy.

Deservedly so. There's not anything in Star Trek that approaches what Cameron's people manage in Avatar.

 

[I am not Spock]

Am I the only person in the world who hasn't seen Avatar? And doesn't feel particularly excited about seeing it?

If not for Avatar, the new Trek would have been hailed the best sci fi film of last year.

That's certainly true.

I'm so thankful for James Cameron basically beating the crap out of overhyped Star Trek with Avatar. The visual effects blow it out of the water, and Zoe Saldana could unfold her full potential, while in Star Trek, her character was awfully one dimensional. Action cinematography was clear, no shaky cam, no fucking annoying lens flares blinding you to hide from the fact that visual effects and live action integration was not as good as it could have been, or blinding you every time there's an editing glitch. Set design and creature design were superior, and the script, while being a version of the good old Pocahontas story (Star Trek was a version of the Star Wars story), was perfectly thought out with no plot holes or continuity gaps anywhere in sight.

Your review is obviously more anti-Trek than anything being pro-Avatar. Why not try to give us a review of Avatar on the merits of it being Avatar, not on the merits that it isn't the new Trek film?

This must be a different version of Avatar than the one that showed in the UK.

And this comes as a surprise?

Any such review would properly be posted elsewhere, methinks, and I'm not sure Jarod's playground potshot above really merited as much response as it's already gotten. Besides, we're about the awards in this thread, right? Good.
