A nomination for that isn't even a given. Sound editing is, I dare say, a lock. Maybe sound mixing as well. The next best chance after that is art direction, IMO, even though that is hard to pull off at the Oscars since they skew towards period pieces in that category.
Aside from that, expect some awards nominations from the technical guilds, plus something at the MTV Movie Awards and Kids' Choice.

In Contention, a popular film awards blog, is currently predicting Star Trek for 4 nominations. But they were made in February, before anybody had seen the film. I dare say that Makeup is out of the running now.
It'll probably pick up a golden cupcake.
I expect it to get nominated for visual effects, sound and sound design. There's the possibility of a nomination for music, but that's a stretch, although considering the growing popularity of Michael Giacchino, it could happen. As for if it will win any of them will depend on how good the effects are in movies like Transformers, Terminator and Harry Potter. If they're good but not outstanding, Trek has a chance. We'll just wait and see.
Obviously it will win science awards like crazy, but any chance it could get Oscars and Emmys for the actors and maybe best movie?
(All haters of this movie, please be kind in this thread)
Eh No...geez are'nt we getting a bit overboard here folks, this movie was in no shape or form Ghandi. And if the Dark Knight did'nt win and it was more justified than this, how can you even ask this question.. please reality. What performance in this movie was even worthy of an Oscar... I'll tell you none.
Cinematography for what Best Shakey Camera?
Good cinematography is not defined by how steady one holds a camera, Scarpad. The contrary, actually. The more dynamic the camerawork, the bigger the effect of immersing the audience in the action instead of reducing them to passive observers. Hence the term motion picture. In that sense, Dan Mindel did some very good work here.
There were also many grand and sweeping shots in the film and some interesting lighting choices (yes, that include the lens flares!) - something that generally goes over well with award-giving bodies. However, awards are always given in competition. To get an Oscar nomination for cinematography, you need to get a few hundred Academy members from the Cinematographers Branch to name your work as THE single best of the year. I doubt all of those other films still coming out this year will be quite this unremarkable in that area for that to happen.

^Excellent sig. Nice quote.
It'll probably win for special effects and sound design. They were top notch.
Sorry but when it comes to cinematography, lens flare means you're doing it wrong. You're either pointing your lens right at or just off a huge light source and/or your lens sucks... or you have the artistic sensibilities of an 8 year-old playing with photoshop.
^^ It's an artistic choice. Not to everyone's liking, but an artistic choice nonetheless.
Yes. I'm sure they didn't mean for it to look that way.
It's won my adoration, does that count?
No he didn't. Filming a movie like an amature home video does not immerse an audience into the film. It actually takes the audience out of the film because they can't comprehend what's happening on screen. There IS a such thing as too much camera movement. The shakey camera in Star Trek was terrible. It was the result of a hack trying too hard to be clever.
I'll take a camera on a tripod anyday.
Not if there is any justice in the universe.
