One would presume that a movie must be good in order for it to be nominated for such an award.
And The Dark Night Rises was not a good movie irrespective of its nomination, or lack thereof, for any particular award.
^ You know, it's funny, speaking of critically over-praised movies that the Hugo committee were wise enough not to nominate: I liked TDKR when it first came out. But I saw it again the other day and couldn't help noticing how broken in so many ways the whole plot was.
ST:ID not getting a Hugo nomination? How is this even mildly surprising?
This, pretty much. The whole sequence, really, starting from "Better get down here. Better hurry". It's a shame. It was shaping up to be one of the better Star Trek movies until that point.
So Star Trek Into Darkness doesn't get a Hugo nomination, whoopee do.
Though I guess its a more tangible reason to bash the film then the usual tired ass imaginary money reason.

Eh, IMHO, not getting an award (or a Nomination) isn't a reason to feel shame. There's thousands of movies made every year, and only a small percentage of them get awards (And often, the bulk of the different awards are taken by the same few movies).
Sure, if you get one of the Awards, it's prestigious, and something to be celebrated, but, no reason to say it proves something wasn't good.

Yeah, it became a great Star Trek movie at that point.
Ahem
Hugo - smugo. Into Darkness was nominated for an OSCAR.

People actually give a crap about an Oscar.
And also about the Hugos for different reasons, although I get that we are Totes Pretending Nobody Ever Heard of Them Before now that STID's not getting one.
Carry on.
To Sci-fi fans.
And a lot of those are likely to lit fans that think ALL Star Trek is idiotic.
Except for the part where if that were true, Trek would presumably never have been nominated for or won any Hugos. But let's not let inconvenient facts get in the way [etc.]
For some reason I almost get this crazy feeling like maybe you're providing a series of knee-jerk responses rather than an educated assessment or something? Can't imagine where I'd be getting that.

We also shouldn't forget that this is the outfit that nominated "A Night in Sickbay" for an award. As I noted earlier.
In order to make it at least appear as if you didn't come to the Trek XI+ forum for the sole purpose of trolling this thread, why not hypothesize?
Your mission (should you choose to accept it):
Come up with no less than three [3] plausible ways in which the non-nomination of Star Trek Into Darkness might be seen as mildly surprising.

Well obviously that means that "A Night in Sickbay" was a undisputable masterpiece of science fiction
Others already pointed out what it was nominated for...or rather, what nominations it did not earn.
The Oscars nominated Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen for an award, but somehow they're still the Oscars.
