"It's shaping up to be an alien invasion at the Oscars.
To the surprise of absolutely no one, James Cameron's Na'vi-centric 3-D extravaganza Avatar, Neill Blomkamp's prawn thriller District 9 and J.J. Abrams' action-packed Spock-eriffic reboot of Star Trek lead the list of seven films short-listed for the Visual Effects Oscar nomination.
Of course, all three are aspiring to even loftier heights. After yesterday's Producer Guild nominations, the trio all have a shot at a Best Picture nod in this year's expanded field.
Rounding out the VFX contenders: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Terminator Salvation, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and 2012. (Sorry, Twi-hards, New Moon didn't even make the quarterfinals.)
On Jan. 21, members of the Academy's Visual Effects Branch will whittle the seven movies down to three for the official Oscar ballot. Nominations for the 82nd Annual Academy Awards nominations will be announced on Feb. 2."
There also appears to be some talk that if they all make the list for best picture, Star Trek and District 9 could damage Avatar's chances.

Me: “That showing has sold out, sir.”
Customer: “What! That’s impossible!”
Me: “The IMAX is very popular sir. I am afraid we don’t have any more seats until tomorrow.”
Customer: “I need to see this movie! You’re not a Star Trek fan. You wouldn’t understand! Please sell me a ticket!”
Me: “I would love to sir, but the needs of the one or the few do not outweigh the needs of the many.”
Customer: *recognizing my quote from Star Trek* “I see. I suppose I couldn’t say that sometimes the needs of the one or the few do outweigh the needs of the many?”
Me: “No sir, that would be quite illogical.”
Customer: “Hmm, you’re good.”
Me: “I must have the lobes for business.”
Customer: “Two tickets for tomorrow then, please.”
Me: “Very good, sir.”
Customer: “Live long and prosper!”
