Set phasers to FAIL


So the Academy Award nominees were announced and as we all feared "Star Trek" was left out of the Best Picture race.

Knew it was coming, but it didn't make it any easier. I knew a movie like "Invictus" or "A Single Man" would probably bump it.

What makes me so mad is that "The Blind Side" of all movies made the cut, essentially bumping the more deserving "Star Trek" out.

"Star Trek" did get four technical nominations, but that's not really saying anything. Even "Norbit" has an Academy Award technical nomination.

Stephanie and I will be discussing the nominations further on this Friday's show.

We are also planning a big Oscars round table video or set of videos coming up. We are going to bring our producer/director Emile and logo designer/technical adviser Tony in front of the camera and break down categories and have a lively discussion.

Tony and I had a great discussion about visual effects in movies when it comes to awards, so it should be great.
