As Avatar is now the highest-grossing worldwide film release of all time, it was impossible that the movie wouldn't top the bill at this week's Oscar nominations also. James Cameron's sci fi epic has clocked up a whopping nine nods from the academy, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Score. But we were pleased to see a few other sci fi movies in the mix.
District 9 is also up for Best Picture, Adapted Screenplay, Editing and Visual Effects, while Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince could win a gong for Cinematography. Star Trek gets a nod in the Makeup category (presumably for Zachary Quinto's ears alone) and Visual Effects as well as Sound Editing and Sound Mixing.
Even Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen managed to squeeze in with a nomination for, erm... Sound Mixing. Well, you can't win 'em all.
