I guess when comparing alien makeup to, well, makeup. But... wow!

Go Star Trek!

 

[Mr. Adventure]

This guy's beret is not near as badass.

 

[Amaris]

I believe it is [Star Trek's first Oscar]!

 

[Kira's Mom]

First Oscar ever...right?

I think so.

Heh- "I don't want to step on your tail".

 

[Skywalker]

Honestly, I'm not expecting Star Trek to beat out Avatar for Best Visual Effects, so this is awesome.

 

[Capn Flukie]

Yay Star Trek!

 

[Mr. Adventure]

Flynn! The Dude!

 

[Kira's Mom]

I loved A Serious Man.

 

[indranee]

YAY!

 

[Mr. Adventure]

I loved A Serious Man.

I haven't even heard of it.

 

[Amaris]

I loved A Serious Man.

I still need to see it. It looks great!

 

[CaptainCanada]

I loved A Serious Man.

Pretty good movie; I thought it was a marvelous piece of craft, if a bit too inscrutable for me to really love it.

 

[Daneel]

I should rent A Serious Man.

First Oscar ever...right?

I think so.

Yep -- until now, Trek was always a bridesmaid, never a bride at the Oscars.

 

[CaptainCanada]

They got The Dude to introduce the Coen Bros' film of the year.

 

[Trekker4747]

Checking Memory Alpha: This does, indeed, seem to be the first time Trek has won Oscar. Been nominated plenty of times. This is the first win.

Yeppie for Trek's win in Makeup.

I loved A Serious Man.

Yet another film I need to see.

Wow, I figured it would have won some kind of technical award at some point.

 

[CaptainCanada]

Odd, in some ways; the makeup in Trek XI was great, but there weren't any radically different races or anything from past films.

Well, again, compared to the other noms, I guess Trek's win was a no-brainer.

 

[Amaris]

Still, the first Star Trek to ever win an Oscar!
