Overall a pretty predictable list, I'd say... LOTR will most likely win for character animation as well as best performance.

I'm hoping for EpII to win for best miniatures.

Why EpII isn't nominated for compositing is beyond me, though... :surprised

Best Compositing in a Motion Picture
- Minority Report
Scott Frankel, Patrick Jarvis

Heh. Eric Bruneau, who supervised compositing for the Spyder sequence at PDI, got Forgotten.

:annoyed:

So, for that matter, did Erik Winquist (more recently at Weta and ILM), who actually *did* much of the compositing. :)
