Actually, I really felt like Zoe Saldana did a fantastic job in Avatar, just as I thought Andy Serkis did a wonderful job in Two Towers/Return of the King. But I suppose that the role wasn't something the Academy was looking for. Still, the part put her in the Hollywood limelight, so congrats to her.
Anywho, I'm quite disappointed that Star Trek got snubbed from the Best Picture nomination. It was a great film, but what can ya do (Let it replace The Blind Side? )?
But what I'm really hoping for is for Christoph Waltz to win Best Supporting Actor as Colonel Hans Landa and for James Horner to win Best Original Score. I'm also hoping that Up will win Best Animated Picture, but that's sort of a given (I Suppose Fantastic Mr. Fox is the dark horse).
