I know, but for now - because of the new forums - we can't post news from already existing threads. Every news story needs a new thread, but the problem is being worked on.

Disappointment and BBQ sauce.

Anywho...
I'll admit, I'm surprised they got nominated at all. (even in Hollywood, that carries some weight, so that puts us on the map, even if the $800+ million worldwide didn't)
Three nominations is nothing short of a miracle, really.
I doubt they'll get more than one, but I don't think they've got much competition in the visual effects catagory.
I heard The Golden Compass was stunning, but nothing groundbreaking.
POTC: At World's End was basically whirlpools, ships attacking, etc. (I have yet to see it. I found the second one to be a yawn fest...so...)
TransFormers actually brought machines to life and realistically so. I have to admit that the visuals were far better than I ever imagined they could be.
If they don't win, it's a crying shame. Not for us, but for the work that went into it. There's actual quality in the bots themselves, and that kind of work shouldn't go unnoticed.

Don't get me wrong, I understand where you're coming from (to a certain extent) but put your bias and movie hate aside for one moment...
Even the haters have admitted, on occasion, that if nothing else, the robots looked 100% real and that it was impressive how lifelike they looked.
