“The Lovely Bones,” Naomi Shohan
“Up in the Air,” Steve Saklad

I was a little reluctant to start a new thread, but since there's not one all encompassing thread, and we can't edit anything beyond a day, I figured started one of those would prove pointless.

Thanks for the post. Unfortunately, every one seems gaga over Avatar. It does seem to break new cinematic ground with the new 3D process, so I think it will win.

Yeah, I agree. While Trek is likely to continue getting nominations, including Oscar nominations, it likely will win 0 when all is said and done.

This thread is depressing, too.

It isn't good enough for some people that's probably why it isn't winning just saying I still love NuTrek but let's see if the sequel will be much better what do you think?
