Assuming your 1080p display offers 3:2 pulldown to reconstruct the 1080p image, this is true. I would hope most, if not all, 1080p displays have this, though.

Also, while most film material is 24 frames per second, some isn't. A lot of movies have computer generated imagery running at 60 fps, and for that you'd want a 1080p signal.

I've never heard of CGI info being encoded differently than standard movie content. Do you know of any movies in particular where this is the case??

It's not actually encoded differently.  DVDs and high def movies are encoded at 60 fps, but many of the frames are identical because the source material is 24 fps.  Off the top of my head, I recall the canyon run scene from Independence Day appearing to run at a much higher framerate.
