I did pretty well I think. Not counting song and documentaries and stuff, I got 62/86. I’m surprised that “It’s Hard Out Here for a Pimp” got a nomination. Also surprised that Star Wars didn’t get a Visual Effects nom. I can understand people not liking the film, but just the sheer scope of the CG outweighs that of War of the Worlds.
