《阿凡达》奥斯卡之旅：9项提名！
《阿凡达》一举拿下了九个奥斯卡提名，包括最佳影片，最佳美术指导，最佳声音编辑，最佳混音，当然还有最佳的视觉效果。詹姆斯卡梅隆获得了最佳导演提名，而詹姆斯霍纳获得了最佳原创配乐的提名，毛罗菲奥雷的一个最佳摄影奖的提名。詹姆斯卡梅隆也可以与斯蒂芬里夫金和约翰里夫分享最佳电影编辑奖。
另一个获得了9项提名的电影是由詹姆斯卡梅隆的前妻凯瑟琳比格罗导演的《拆弹部队》。两个离婚的人一起角逐好莱坞的最高奖项真是一件奇怪的事情。学院奖会不会给了《阿凡达》最佳影片奖，给《拆弹部队》最佳导演奖呢？
让人失望的是：虽然拥有很大的影迷支持，但没有一个《阿凡达》的演员被认可。但是，鉴于《阿凡达》的超高人气和获得的许多奖项，以及导演的鼎力支持和动作捕捉技术，相信《阿凡达》的续集会获得更多的提名。
AVATAR grabbed nine Oscar nominations, including best picture (even odds on that one), best art direction, best sound editing, best sound mixing and, of course, best visual effects. James Cameron's up for best director (a 3-to-1 shot?) while James Horner got a nod for best original score and Mauro Fiore's up for a best-cinematography award (no surprise: his colleagues dig him too). James Cameron may also share best-film-editing honors with Stephen Rivkin and John Refoua.
Just one other movie garnered nine nominations: The Hurt Locker, directed by James Cameron's ex-wife Kathryn Bigelow. What are the odds a divorced couple would be competing for Hollywood's top prize? Does the Academy split the difference and give AVATAR best picture and Hurt Locker best director?
The big disappointment: In spite of extensive support from fans, none of the actors of Avatar were not recognized for their contributions this year. Still, there's hope that the popularity of Avatar, its numerous awards, the avid support of its director, and the scrutiny of performance capture will lead to nominations for Avatar’s sequels.
